Setup, owned and run by the legendary Goncalves brothers, Victor and Naldo, NV-80 is the connection to years of dedication to industry and craft. An ode to the classic grill houses of yesteryear, NV-80 is a nod to a bygone era of real service, exceptional food and a classic yet contemporary dining aesthetic.

Serving beautiful steaks, seafood, salads and a wide array of starters, sides and specials, NV-80 has something for everyone. Over the years NV-80 has become a staple with locals and tourists and has earned NV-80 a reputation as a Cape Town institution. Bought in 2022 by NoName Hospitality Group and partners with the aim of honouring the brands legacy while adding value for a loyal customer base. NoName Hospitality Group intends to build on the brands reputation for quality product and service as well strive to uphold the incredible standards and time honoured traditions instilled by the brothers. Your old favourite reimagined.

    Thank you so much for a lovely evening, I have Coeliac disease which makes eating out very stressful as I’m always concerned that I may ingest Wheat without knowing and then suffer the consequences! However, our lovely waiter talked me through my menu choices and made me feel confident in what I was eating. Very much appreciated. My husband also said it was the best steak he’s ever had! Thank you.

    Hi Claire, thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re so glad our team could make you feel comfortable and confident with your choices - that’s exactly what we hope to do for every guest. We’re also so happy to hear your husband enjoyed his meal so much! We can’t wait to welcome you both back again soon.
