Hugely popular for grilling up BA's most sublime meats. Steaks
come in 200g or 400g sizes and arrives with heaps of little complimentary side dishes.
Come at 7pm for 'happy hour,' when everything is 40% off - just make sure you get here
early enough to score a table. There's an annex at
Cabrera 5127
; expect a long wait at both
locations.
