If you prefer a more western-style dining that serves beef, Beato Steakhouse is the place to be. They serve and specialize in dry-aged steaks, a process where large cuts of beef are hung or stored on a rack for weeks before being cut into smaller cuts of steak we are familiar with. This would make the meat more tender as well as develop a deeper flavour compared to when it is fresh. Not so much of a steak person? No problem. Like many restaurants here, Beato Steakhouse offers a variety of non-steak options including salad, soup, pasta, lamb and even fish. Just refer to their board for the catch of the day. While they do serve alcohol, they source their ingredients from halal-certified suppliers. Reservations are highly encouraged.
