Turn ʼn Tender Steakhouse — Restaurant in Bellville

This has been the second time we have dined there. This time even better than the first and the first time was already a 10/10. The food is probably the best food I have ever had in any restaurant. I went in hungry, I came out feeling like there is a cannonball in my stomach from how much I ate, and I normally don't eat a lot. The first time me and my gf shared a 750g fillet for two with Bordelaise sauce, this time I had the 300g fillet again with Bordelaise sauce and she had the classic burger. I requested medium rare, and the temperature was perfection. The bordelaise sauce is now my favourite thing to have with a steak. I cannot have a steak at any other restaurant ever again, and cannot even make my own steaks anymore because they have ruined other steaks for me. This place is just too good with their beef and sauces. And then the chips were a beautiful crisp for both me and my gf, and we also had a bowl of onion rings. Make sure you try the onion rings with the bordelaise sauce!!!!

Oh and then dessert. We both had their new chocolate mousse for dessert. I can tell you right now it is the best dessert I have ever tasted. The combo of honeycomb, chocolate mousse, the cream and the strawberries are a match like no other.

I have never felt so full and so happy. We walked away feeling like we got more than our money's worth.

On top of the amazing food experience, the waitstaff are outstanding as well! They get everything right, are very knowledgeable, and the speed at which your orders arrive from drinks to desserts is unparalleled in many top-notch restaurants. And on top of that as well, the waiters and staff seem happy and enthusiastic.

This restaurant is an absolute gem to experience. I will definitely be supporting them as often as I can. The barely opened a couple months ago, and I hope they continue to sky-rocket and do well.

We will definitely be back again. And will be bringing more people. I cannot emphasize enough how spectacular our experience was here. For the second time...

Living virtually opposite Turn n Tender Bedford, which was my go to Restaurant for years, I was excited to find a Turn n Tender on my doorstep moving to the Northern suburbs Cape Town. I wasted no time in visiting. On arrival we were quickly seated, menus were provided and drink orders were taken, it was looking promising! Our waitress was nothing less than excellent, and took our orders quickly and accurately, I ordered as I always do, a Sirloin steak, grilled blue, chips and a side sauce, we settled back and waited. The food arrived promptly, well presented, served with a flourish and appealing to the eye, but, thats where it ended. The "Blue" steak was thin cut and ragged to the point the edges were splitting, possibly split and hammered, and because it was so thin, it was bordering on "medium" even though the outside had been barely caramelized, the broad sinew was still evident and the fat was undercooked. Let me say it loud and clear, it is NOT POSSIBLE to satisfactorily grill a 10mm thick steak "Blue", and an experienced trained steakhouse griller would know this immediately. Sadly, the excitement, for me was ruined, they did everything to perfection, but allowed an inexperienced or untrained griller to produce a substandard steak, and it flew by under management's nose. In the world of steakhouses, this is a fatal error. Will I try again, Yes, everyone can make a mistake, but three strikes, is out, in baseball and...

A Modern Delight of Bread Pudding!!

I recently had the pleasure of trying the bread pudding at this restaurant, and I must say it was a delightful treat! This modern take on the classic bread pudding exceeded my expectations in every way.

The quantity of the bread pudding was just right, providing a satisfying portion that left me feeling satisfied without being overwhelmed. The presentation of the dish was also visually appealing, with a beautiful arrangement that enticed me from the moment it was served.

As for the taste, the bread pudding was truly exceptional. The combination of flavors was expertly balanced, allowing the sweetness of the condensed milk sauce to complement the soft and moist texture of the bread. Every bite was a delicious journey of flavors, leaving me wanting more.

I highly recommend trying the bread pudding at this restaurant. Whether you're a fan of traditional bread pudding or looking to experience a modern twist on a classic, this dessert is sure to leave you impressed. Don't miss out on this...
