Why not try something adventurous for dinner?
The Matagi culture is deeply connected to bears. At the Shikari restaurant, guests can try authentic Matagi dishes featuring local bear meat.
Bear meat is nutritious and high in dietary fiber, vitamins, and collagen. During the colder months it warms the body through and through. In China, it is believed the meat has a beautifying effect and is considered a delicacy.
No reservations are necessary to try bear stew at the Shikari restaurant, but due to limited supply ingredients may run out.
