A grill house known for pork ribs in a South African-style barbecue sauce. It's upstairs in the Steamer Wharf building, so the windows look over the lake and the old steamer. Fans call them 'ribs of a lifetime' and it's a regular romantic-dinner pick. The Mozambique prawns, simmered in a creamy sauce, are nearly as popular. Portions are big; one dish is enough for one person.
