Fire Cooking. Story Telling.

Our love for fire and story telling has led to the creation of VUUR.

VUUR, the Afrikaans word for fire, is the main form of cooking used in the preparation of all the food items during your dining experience at VUUR.

Each plate of food is delicately paired with a wine from Remhoogte Estate and served straight from the fire to your table.

We believe in offering the experience to only one group at a time, thus we offer a private dining experience for yourself, your family or friends.

We are lucky to be surrounded by nature and have wildlife on our doorstep, sometimes you can even see them from the dining table.

FOOD & WINE

Food combined with
estates wines

We pair our 7 course menu with Remhoogte Estate Wines, the place we call home.

About VUUR

Nothing like a view from the table, enjoying the wildlife coming down to drink or vistas of the amazing Simonsberg that towers out over the vineyards.

Book your seat at the table by visiting link in our bio, the @dineplan_app or by emailing us at info@vuurrestaurant.com

VUUR is a place where you get together, enjoy the company of others, enjoy the food, the wine but most important enjoy some time away from your busy schedule.

Come and join us for a lovely long lunch!!!

Book your seat by visiting @dineplan_app , booking via the link in our BIO or by email at info@vuurrestaurant.com

We love a little cocktail in the middle of our meal and always try to mix up something tasty. We use fruit of the season, local herbs and we combine this with a bit of fire to really change the tone of the meal by adding something fresh, something light or something sweet.

The VUUR Experience is always about being close to the chefs and having lots of interaction with your hosts. The closest seat in the house would be our Chef’s Counter. The two seats where you can see all the cooking and plating first hand.

To book the Chef’s Counter head over to the link in our BIO or write us an email at info@vuurrestaurant.com

As we remember what an experience we had on The Rare Tour, a wonderful event that brought together two of restaurants on the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants earlier this year. We had wonderful guests and shared amazing meats, an amazing event that awakened the senses for the true meat lovers.

VUUR is about Fire … but it is also about team. We started our journey with Shaun and Tina doing it on the fly, winging it every day. New team members joined and we became more professional, the dishes improved and the venues became more and many things changed but one thing that didn’t change …. the importance of how we believe that having a strong team is what is most important.

Without the team we can’t do it and the recent awards like receiving 1 Star at the Eat Out Awards and then being named for a second year in a row on the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants and this time at 87 is just testament that our team makes it happen.

We always strive to improve but without losing what makes VUUR …… VUUR, and keeping the essence of feeling like you are part of our family.

What a list!!!!

We were so amazed and super blessed to make the list of being amongst the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants in 2024. We shared the list with many amazing restaurants.

This year we realized that the Top Japan Restaurants were added to the list (previously on their own list). The competition was just that much more tough with some amazing restaurants being added to the list. The top end of the list was magnificent with some amazing restaurants which just made us so much more lucky to make it this year.

Now head down and improve more to ensure that we keep applying our trade amongst the best on the world stage.

Thanks to the team for hanging in there and for trying their best every day. Legends!!

Thank you go @luxe.awards awards for recognising the hard work our team has put in over the last year to award us with the Grillhouse of the Year at the Luxe Restaurant Awards 2024 that was held at @monumenthouse.za in Franschhoek.

What an honour to be recognised in a country with such love of fire and use of the braai / grill.

It has been such an amazing journey since we started VUUR two years ago and to be recognised again for the second time in two weeks.

Well done to all the winners on the night and the other nominees in our category - @andthentherewasfire_restaurant & @theblockmansa

Again team work team work team work. You have done us proud!!!

Never in our wildest dreams did we think two years ago we would be privileged to be included on a list of some of the best of the best in the world.

What an honour!!!! To not only be named as 88th on the list of Best Steak Restaurants in the World by @worldbeststeakrestaurants but also to be the highest ranked African Restaurant on this list.

We always wanted to focus on quality of produce and serve the best quality meats that we can offer. It is a learning process and finding the right partners to work with to cook with the best produce. Thanks to all our partners that we work with.

With time we created a team that gives our guest the experience that they deserve. A team that believes in quality and the effect of fire on the quality produce that we put forward. Thanks to our whole team for all the hard work.

Thanks to all our diners for visiting our small restaurant. Without you we can’t do what we love!!!

All we can do is say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 🙏

Steak and veg!!! You can’t go wrong with that. The way that fire kisses the meat and vegetables imparts amazing flavours.

We always thought if we do steak, we will do limited cuts but the cuts that we love. Here we have our Wagyu Denver that gives us tenderness and most importantly flavour.

Join us for a great cooking experience on our lazy lunches that combines food, wine and wildlife!!!

We will keep you posted!!

Sometimes it is just as simple as meat and fire!!! The perfect marriage of flavour.

We work hard to source quality meats and have been really lucky to find the quality people that we like to work with.

We love our prime rib chops and serve them frequently in our ever changing menu. Meats are aged between 70 and a 140 days to give us the flavour that we love.

Are we stopping here to push the boundaries … no we are not. We have only started our journey …

Cocktails always form an important part of our day …. Mmmmm a cocktail a day keeps the doctor away … or is that an apple ….

Today two years ago we invited our first guests to VUUR. This transformed stable on @remhoogtewineestate has seen many fires being lit, many corks being taken out of wine bottles, seen quite a few steaks on the grid and a great amount of laughter from many amazing guests.

We never thought in our wildest dreams that this very small restaurant will have a big place in the hearts of many of guests …. many guests that over time became friends with whom we shared a glass of wine or two.

We thank all of our patrons over the last two years for the support.

Without our caring team we would not have been able to get here. We are improving every day and through the dedication and hard work of everyone we will keep improving and achieve more and more.

Here is to many more years to come!!

If this tree could tell stories …. Enjoy the last few days of autumn with the possibility of still enjoying the outside space or even the lovely inside.

We still have dates available so head over to our DinePlan or use the links in our Bio for booking your table at VUUR.

We are excited to have in partnership with @remhoogtewineestate our first herd of Dexter cattle. Remhoogte Wine Estate is looking at evolving more into regenerative farming practices and we are proud to join them on the journey.

Just like we leave our mark on our bread we believe that the VUUR Experience leaves a mark on our diners. The interaction, the food and the wine … it is more than just a normal dining experience.

Today we say “until later” to one of our VUUR Family. Jono has been with us for a while and has seen the growth from the beginning stages. There were highs and lows as we soldiered on through thick and thin. Mr Dependable … we wish you well on your journey going to Europe. We will miss your sharp humour and chirps when we don’t expect it and your kind heart.

Today we light our last fire together for a while. We can only say a BIG THANK YOU!!

Keep on gaming and give Germany the best of Jono that we know. Only the best for the future!!!

Our friendly hosts are always there to have a chat, share stories and of course keep your wine glass filled. Service at VUUR is not like most restaurants … we make you feel at home and part of the VUUR family.

Tina and Gary always has a smile, a short tale about a day on the farm or even a hug at the end of the day. Legends!!!

If you want to experience the VUUR magic then go to the link in our bio for online reservations or email us at mytablle@vuurrestaurant.com

We believe steak only needs fire and salt. If you have good steak then you need to cook for it’s flavour and eat it for its flavour.

Our steaks are dry aged to enhance the flavour and really push the boundaries …. Averaging anything between 80 and 140 days.

Are we crazy? We don’t think so … we just love meat!!
