VUUR

VUUR An fire cooking experience in the Cape Winelands.

01/06/2026

VUUR is not only a place.
It is a feeling.

A true expression of South African hospitality — warm, generous, relaxed, and deeply rooted in fire — can travel anywhere.

To a wine estate.
To a private event.
To an activation.
Even to your own backyard.

Whether you are planning a celebration, a private dinner, a corporate event, or simply want to learn more about the art of fire cooking, we would love to bring the VUUR experience to you.

What makes VUUR different?

It’s the interaction with the team.
The location.
The wildlife moving quietly through the landscape or coming down to drink at the dam.
The wine shared around the table.
The choice between a social dining experience or something deeply private.
The quality of the produce.
The simplicity.
The laughter.
The sense of fun.
The time spent around a table without ever feeling rushed.

There are many things that make VUUR special, but more than anything, it is the care we give, the warm-hearted service, and the way we make people feel that truly sets us apart.

At VUUR, hospitality is not just service — it is connection.

Join us for lunch from Tuesday to Saturday, and dinner on Friday and Saturday, to experience true VUUR hospitality.

Stefan shares what makes VUUR different.

Flavour. Fire. People.

That’s where it starts.

But it’s also the surrounds, the produce, and the relaxed space we create that make it truly special.

A place to slow down. To connect. To just be.

Join us this May and June for the VUUR Experience — where fire warms more than just the plate.

Our love of fire runs through every part of the VUUR experience, not only in our meats and vegetables, but in our desserts too.

Malaika shares more about our Basque-style burnt cheesecake and how we use fire to bring gentle smoke and a touch of salt into the sweeter side of the meal. It is a dessert that carries the same depth, warmth and character that defines everything we do.

A great way to finish a meal!!!

There is something timeless about a glass of red wine shared with a great steak. The marriage of tannin, salt, smoke and deep flavour is one of life’s simplest and most perfect pleasures.

We are incredibly fortunate to call Remhoogte Wine Estate home — a place where a beautiful selection of wines is produced right on our doorstep, each one offering the opportunity to pair beautifully with the meats we cook over fire.

A standout for us is the Remhoogte Vantage Pinotage, crafted from low-yielding bush vines. It brings depth, structure and a bold expression of fruit, with a richness that holds its own against the intensity of fire-cooked meat — a wine that feels both rooted in the land and perfectly at home at the table.

You can either hate Pinotage or you love it. We love this one!!!

We work long hours … some days longer than others but we are fortunate.

We are fortunate to meet amazing diners that comes to our restaurants and connect with them and even connect them to other diners at our social table experience.

We are fortunate to cook amazing produce. Great meats, fish and vegetables that comes from the ocean and land supplied by amazing suppliers.

We are fortunate to work with fire, a medium that is ancient but brings us so much flavour.

So even after all the long days and sometimes being tired we still consider ourselves so lucky to do what we love and share this with our diners.

Video 2 – VUUR Dining Areas: VUUR Goose Island | Social Table Experience

VUUR Goose Island is our island restaurant — a space you reach by crossing a bridge, stepping into a dedicated braai room surrounded by water. Whether seated inside or out on the deck, you’re immersed in beautiful, uninterrupted views.

The Social Table is our shared dining experience, where guests come together to enjoy a multi-course, fire-cooked menu paired with wines from Remhoogte Wine Estate. From your seat, you’ll have a direct view of the hearth — the heart of what we do.

This experience is interactive and immersive. You’re invited to stand, engage with the chefs as they cook, and hear the stories behind each dish as it’s prepared.

It’s about connection. It’s about great food and great wine. And most of all, it’s about enjoying the VUUR experience together.

It is a celebration of connection, of fire, of flavour experienced in their most elemental form.

This ia the first video in the series of three showing the difference of the different dining areas available at VUUR at Remhoogte Wine Estate.

We start our visit to VUUR Private Dining.

This is our original stable that we renovated to create an intimate private dining experience where we only serve one table a day for lunch between Tuesday and Saturday.

It is the perfect place for a group of friends, family or even a business lunch experience where you can either sit inside during the cooler months or at our table under the oak tree with wonderful views of the wildlife camp where you can sometimes view springbok, nyala, black wildebeest or zebra grazing.

The table can be booked for a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 diners. This gives you the exclusive use of the dining area with your own team.

* During Festive Season (December and January) we require a minimum of 10 diners to reserve the table.

What an honour to have been part of World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurant list, having achieved #88 in 2024 and #87 in 2025 respectively.

When we started VUUR, we didn’t do this for rewards and recognition, it was about fire, quality produce and the diners that would come to eat at our restaurant.

What did we do in 2026?

We love the quest for the best flavour. Tempering the right steaks, giving them the time they need before they meet the fire.

Great meat, proper ageing, and the kiss of smoke. That’s where the magic lives.

In the end, nothing beats it.

Breaking bread is always how we love to begin a meal, and nothing sets the tone better than our Bone Marrow Sourdough Roll.

It carries the essence of a meaty start, while the smoky flavour from the fire hints at what’s to come in the VUUR experience.

Malaika takes us through the process of making, baking and plating the dish, showing the care and attention that goes into every step. The love put into the bread is evident in its flavour — deep, rich, and layered with the character of fire and smoke.

Fire is flavour. 🔥

What an honour to have been invited to the LUXE Awards — and to walk away with not one, but two awards: Grill House of the Year and a prestigious One Star.

To be recognised by LUXE for the second time since the awards began is something we don’t take lightly. This accolade, along with the Star, fuels our fire to keep raising the bar.

The fire keeps burning. 🔥

We’ve always loved bringing ocean and land together.

Sometimes it’s about salinity — that whisper of the sea.
Sometimes it’s about richness — the deep, caramelised intensity of beef fat meeting fire.

Our VUUR Surf & Turf does both.

Sweet, delicate West Coast Rock Lobster, kissed by flame.
Finished with rich, rendered beef fat — golden, nutty, unapologetically indulgent.

Then comes the curry sauce — layered, warm, quietly powerful — alongside our vegetables cooked over open fire, carrying smoke, char and earth.

It’s bold.
It’s balanced.
It’s unmistakably VUUR.

Fire is flavour.
And flavour is the only thing that matters. 🔥

It is not only wine that speaks of terroir — great beef does too.

We select 100% South African beef from specific regions where the soil, the grazing and the care given to the animal shape its character long before it reaches the fire.

True quality is never accidental.
It is curated through attention to the smallest details — from land, to feed, to maturation, to flame.

Because in the end, refinement on the plate begins long before the first cut is made.

VUUR is much more than a meal.

It’s a way to experience true South African hospitality, set in a place where time slows down.

Here, we share stories, food cooked on fire, wines from Remhoogte Wine Estate, and moments alongside nature and wildlife.

It’s the little details we care for that turn a meal into big memories you take with you.

VUUR is fire.
VUUR is people.
VUUR is magic.

VUUR is an Experience!!!

Steak and veg. The way we do our main meals.

Nothing better than enjoying the simplicity of good steak and tasty vegetables … the goodness that walks the earth and the goodness from the ground.

One of the most important pillars at VUUR is our love of meat — and above all, the steak on the bone.
It’s a love rooted in flavour. Bone-in cuts give depth, richness and character that only time, fire and patience can unlock.

But great steak starts long before it reaches the fire.
The beef itself matters — where the cattle comes from, how it’s raised, and the respect shown to it before it ever meets the flame.

Everyone has their own way of cooking a bone-in steak. At VUUR, we follow a few simple rules:

Temper.
Cook on the bone.
Render the fat.
Rest.
Bring the heat.
Bring the crust and char.
Rest again.
Then carve — removing every sinew — and serve.

These are the steps that work for us.
Steps that allow extended contact with fire, flame and smoke — building layers of flavour, not rushing the process.

We finish simply: good salt and our VUUR butter, just enough to soften the crust and balance the char.

We love bone-in steaks.
And we hope — when you sit at our table — that you do too. 🔥🥩

The way we begin every meal at VUUR is by breaking bread.
Salt meets sweet — a simple ritual.
A humble start to the journey ahead, and the first building stone of conversation at the table.
