Lonely Planet review for Marlin

Housed in the colonial-era Lusaka Club, this perennial, wood-panelled favourite is the best steakhouse in Zambia. While they do serve gargantuan portions of every cut of meat under the sun, most guests come for the aged fillet with mushroom or pepper sauce. Reservations are strongly recommended.

    Zambia has the best beef in World but not at Marlin's

    mlb2011 does not recommend this,

    Feted as the best steakhouse in town - the last three times i have eaten there were really disappointing.

    Zambian beef is the best, and the fillet steak is amazing. But at Marlin, the cuts may be huge but they are really very tough... Not sure where they find such tough meat in Zambia.
    Fillet steak at Portico, Mint Lounge, Chit Chat in Siavonga - even in a little guesthouse in the bush - is always tender and very tasty... but not at Marlin.
