Welcome to The Bull Run, a true Sandton legendary restaurant that's been satisfying discerning palates for over two decades - an icon of the financial district. Inspired by the fast-paced world of the New York Stock Market and a clever nod to a NY grill house, The Bull Run delivers a dining experience that's as rich and dynamic as the market itself.

Be immersed in a masterfully designed space that exudes an air of sophistication, where every detail speaks to a bygone era of wealth and taste. The décor feels as if it has been meticulously curated over decades: plush leather armchairs and dark wood paneling, with walls adorned with art in ornate gold and black frames. The low ambient lighting from an antique chandelier that bathes the space in a warm, golden glow that feels both intimate and grand.

The larger-than-life, sculpted bronze bull standing proudly at the entrance, a symbol of rising markets and resilience, perfectly captures the spirit of The Bull Run—where excellence is always on the uptrend. As you settle in, feel the pulse of Maude Street’s hustle and bustle from one of our sidewalk tables.

The Bull Run has been in a steady bull market of its own, consistently offering high-quality, affordable cuisine paired with impeccable service. The menu is a living expression of creativity and refinement, constantly evolving to reflect the ever-rising standards of quality and innovation. Much like the dynamic nature of the stock market.
When it comes to the main event - our succulent cuts of meat - we’re in a class of our own. Aged to perfection in-house for 28 days, our steaks are a journey for the palate, with options like wet-aged steaks for those who love a buttery, tender cut, and dry-aged cuts for connoisseurs who crave deep, earthy flavours and prepared to suit every preference. The stakes are high with our Top Traders selection - a heavyweight in the world of dining.

But the Bull Run is more than just steak - The menu is a diverse investment, offering everything from vibrant salads, timeless starters to generous burgers, signature chicken, innovative fish, and market-savvy vegetarian and vegan options. Finish strong with a sweet return.

The Dollar Bar - A true no-nonsense space for those who know how to play the market. Browse our extensive wine list, carefully curated to offer exceptional pairings, or sip on one of our signature cocktails, blending tradition with subtle innovation to create a menu that caters to every taste.

Our Private Dining Room provides an intimate, stylish reprieve - protected from the restaurant’s bustling activity - where you can focus on what matters most: fine food, great company, and unbroken conversation. Whether you're hosting a celebration or discussing business strategy.

We serve much more than food - We offer an experience that brings together the sophistication of the financial world with the richness of culinary craftsmanship.

A wealth of good taste

    Hi Michelle thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about the service — we truly appreciate it. We’re sorry to hear that the portion sizes and set menu felt limiting during your visit. For group bookings and special occasions, we do typically arrange and communicate set menu options in advance to ensure expectations around variety and portions are clear, and that we can tailor the experience as much as possible. That said, we appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an even better, more personalised dining experience Kind regards The Bull Run management

    Arrival: We had booked the downstairs area, however, we were informed (by the lady who places people) that there'll be another event taking place therefore we were seated elsewhere. We had our lunch and left, and the supposed "event" still hadn't taken place. Service: The service was good. We were served by Gift. A real gentleman and a friendly guy all round. Food: The food was delicious. The steaks were prepared as per our requests.

    Yes South African ones are way overpriced for example of bottle of wine you combine a bottle for R 120 they want R265 which is crazy prices spoilt the whole evening

    The Bull Run responded on Mon 23 Mar 26:
    Hi Charles thank you for your feedback and for rating us 4.3 stars — we really appreciate your support. We’re sorry to hear that the pricing of our wine impacted your evening. We understand how frustrating it can feel when prices differ from retail. Like many restaurants, our pricing takes into account factors such as service, storage, licensing, and overall dining experience, but we never want this to take away from your enjoyment. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration as we continuously review our offerings and pricing. We do hope to welcome you back again and provide you with a more enjoyable experience next time. Kind Regards The Bull Run Management
