Our Story
When the Hussar Grill first opened in Rondebosch in 1964, it set a new standard for the South African steakhouse, an intimate space where quality, warmth and attention to detail came together in perfect harmony. Over the decades, we’ve earned a loyal following and the privilege of serving generations of guests who return for the same reason: an experience that feels both familiar and exceptional. From one Cape Town restaurant, our legacy has grown across South Africa – a favourite destination for those who value authenticity and exceptional dining. From our perfectly aged steaks to our celebrated wine selection, everything we do is guided by respect for tradition and a passion for excellence.
We source only the finest Class-A beef and venison, personally overseeing the maturation of every cut. Our beef is wet-aged for a minimum of 28 days to ensure exceptional tenderness and depth of flavour. Every plate reflects our chefs’ precision, and our service remains as warm and attentive as it was on day one.
Wine has always been part of the Hussar Grill’s story – whether from our award-winning list or your own collection, always with no corkage – each pour invites you to linger. Recognised with Diners Club Platinum Awards, our wine lists reflect a dedication to curation and detail. And in honour of our heritage, we created The Hussar Grill Red, a signature blend that celebrates our legacy of excellence spanning six decades.
