From the braai, The Stoep serves up whole rainbow trout, steak, chicken, lamb chops and boerwors (traditional South African sausage). Most of the barbecue meats are good, but the boerwors are recommended as you can't always find them elsewhere in Hong Kong. The sausages are best enjoyed with a glass of ice-cold beer or white wine.

A couple of other traditional dishes on the menu are an ostrich steak with green peppercorn sauce, which is on the lean side, and the tomato bredie, a flavorful stewed lamb dish made with fresh tomatoes.

Freshly baked farmhouse and seedloaf bread is also available with a variety of dips including hummus, tzatiki, grilled eggplant, feta and dill sauce, to name a few. Though the farmhouse and seedloaf bread are good, the garlic bread often disappears faster than the other breads on the table.

Burgers, fish and chips, baby-back ribs, and lasagna and salad are also good choices for less adventurous diners. The Stoep also serves a number of reasonably priced wines. If you bring your own, they do charge a corkage fee.

Finish your meal with the deliciously decadent Malva pudding with caramel sauce and ice cream and enjoy the gorgeous sea view up close.
