Beef or Cabbage?

The Härg - the Ox - is, as the name suggests, a meat restaurant. The food here isbountiful, a pastoral fantasy come true. Take for example the Härg’s selection of starters, consisting of five dishes meant tobe sampled by a small group. Or the Härg Fest - ten dishes served at once, no matter how many eaters. Sure, the Härg can provide for a light eater, too. Although maybe not the lightest of light eaters, since even a smoothie is fit for a light lunch. The vegetarian dish - Cabbage with Cabbage - satisfies a moderate hunger andis delicious to boot. The Savoy cabbage is grilled to rare. Eating it takes a steak knife and a good set of teeth, more than any meat might. The slightly tart ginger cabbage, onthe other hand, is soft-boiled, and the soft, silky cheese sauce brings the dish together in a perfect balance. But the main draw of a meat restaurant is supposed tobe meat, and the word on the street is that hitting the perfect doneness is a matter of honor here. We have always made a point of paying attention and are currently pleased to report a perfect score. Help yourself to the high-grade balsamico, and pair the high-grade steak with an even higher-grade wine that you'd be hard pressed to find offered by the glass elsewhere. Why not the Antinori Tignanello, or else the Rothschild Chateau d’Armailhac...
