Frankie Fenner Meat Merchants
Gardens
4.8 / 5
Frankie Fenner is the gold standard for ethical meat in Cape Town. Their biltong isn't just a snack; it's a culinary experience derived from grass-fed, pasture-reared cattle. The flavor profile is deep, earthy, and lacks the artificial acidity found in commercial brands.
