In the heart of Sandton, on Nelson Mandela Square, is the flagship of the Johannesburg branch of The Butcher Shop & Grill: an institution in South African dining.

For over 20 years, our unmatchable steakhouse has been as much a part of SA culture as sunshine, red wine and red meat. You could say it is a landmark on the culinary landscape (and we're now in Cape Town and the Middle East).

But The Butcher Shop is also about family - and the laughter, memories and conversations shared with special people over great food at a top steakhouse.

Our family business, handed down over three generations, is famed for its quality produce, extensive menu, separate butchery & deli and 800 passionate staff globally.

In Johannesburg, we're able to seat up to 600 guests, plus 22 guests in our exclusive private dining room. In Cape Town, we can accommodate 250 guests, with the capacity for an additional 40 guests in our private dining room.

    Excellent super high quality local filet mignon that we both enjoyed. Very tender, very tasty. We asked for medium rare and it was more on the rare side, but sooo good it was not a problem. Thoroughly recommend. Good wine list and choice. Mark ups seem a bit higher than average but still something at every price point.

    Great steak and wine. Bearnaise and creamed spinach both a touch too stiff

    One of my go-to places in Cape Town. The wait staff is always friendly and on point. Food is always delicious. I love the oxtails, the best ever.

    This restaurant is always a treat. Food remains outstanding and the ambience and service makes it the kind of place that you would want to come back to regularly. I had the fillet, blue rare, and it came perfect and with great taste.
