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

    While the vebue itself was beautiful, the decorations were not very coherent with the restaurant's overall aesthetic. We were alos seated near the kitchen which wasnt shoen in the pictures on the website. The noise was immense and made it difficult to hear the live performance or even my own partner. While our fries and sauces were appetising, the rump was poorly done. It was medium-rare but was much too raw for me and my partner's pallette. It was fight to cut let alone chew. Our waiters were kind and we did take some cute pics where the decor worked out well (this giant heart for instance by the main floor). But, the seating was probably my biggest concern. Overall, it's a wonderful restaurant. Perhaps it was a bit too busy for it's usual dining experience but perhaps a normal day may be better for us.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that the noise levels during the live performance made it difficult for you to fully enjoy your evening. Creating a lively atmosphere is important to us, but it should never come at the expense of comfortable conversation. We’ll certainly take this on board as we continue to fine-tune our live entertainment experience. We also sincerely apologise that your rump steak was not prepared to your liking. A medium-rare should be tender and enjoyable, and we regret that it was difficult to cut and chew. This is not the standard we aim for, and your comments will be shared directly with our kitchen team for review and improvement. On a positive note, we’re so pleased you enjoyed the fries, sauces, and the friendliness of our waitstaff. It’s also lovely to hear that you appreciated the décor (we’re glad the giant heart made for some cute photos!) Please do come back and call ahead so that we can have better seating for your next visit. Kind regards The Bull Run Management
