Well, they certainly saw you coming there! It was not a fillet steak, as you should have realised immediately you unfolded the steak. Fillet is nothing like that, it was completely the wrong shape. This was deliberate deception by the restaurant. They had taken a cheaper cut, probably sirloin, trimmed off the fat, cooked it and scored it to fold over to look like a fillet. I have to say it would not have fooled anyone who knew anything about steaks. Clearly this place is in the business of passing off cheaper cuts to holidaymakers who know no better. I would have sent that back and asked for what I had paid for. The rest of the meal looked terrible too, but if punters keep paying silly money for rubbish like that they will continue to do it. Shameful behaviour from the restaurant. But there is an element of 'caveat emptor' too. If you are reviewing steaks, maybe do a bit of research into what they actually look like. Google is your friend.

There is no point in paying for fillet if you are going to overcook it. The whole point is that it is a tender cut that needs nothing more than medium rare. Beyond medium it is ruined because of the lack of any fat in the meat. Sadly, so many people (Lee included) know so little about the food they are eating that they waste their money. It was very obvious that the steak wasn't actually fillet at all. It was a tourist rip-off joint that deserves to be shut down.

They also illegally added the 7% IGIC on after the menu price, it MUST be included in the menu price. The OCU and the government issued a warning to businesses last year about that and about a dozen other things that are charged for yet can't legally be done. Terrible practice, netting them 7% extra on each sale. Even if it says it isn't included on the menu, it is not legal

When it comes to how you have your steak cooked - different people like it different ways. Accept the difference and embrace your preference. The only “wrong” when it comes to a steak is when it claims to be a fillet (or any other cut) when it’s clearly a folded sirloin, the way they did in this video, plus cold chips and sauce is unacceptable.

South Africa used to be a great place for good quality steaks at reasonable prices but it's changed so much in recent years, those steak houses that have survived used to do burgers for the not so hungry but that's reversed now, they're now burger joints where you can still get a steak, but it will be exorbitantly priced and rubbish quality, you'll basically get the same cheap stuff that they mince up for burgers. There's no point complaining about it because they've got nothing better to offer you, so you just don't go there again. Regarding well done vs rare, I had a mate come over from England for a few weeks back in the "good steak" times and he ordered the same 600g rump serving as me except his was well done and mine was rare, and when it showed up on the plates his was half the size of mine which rather upset him so he complained to the waiter who explained that they both started out the same size but all the juices had been cooked out of his one. So, next time we went there he ordered his the same as mine, absolutely loved it and has probably never had a well done steak again. Fillet is often bland and uninteresting, I find the best preparation for that stuff is to cube it and marinate it overnight, slide the cubes onto skewers and sizzle them well basted with the leftover marinade over hot coals for a few minutes, the steak houses used to offer it like that too but ask for that now and they don't know what you're talking about.

They look soggy like they have been laying around for some time. Same happens to fries on a buffet. Fries need to come fresh out of the oil with a slightly crispy crust and softer inner. The side dish is subjective and wouldn’t be my choice either but propably a cheap one. The peppersauce had the layer on it as it was heated (too long) in the microwave.
