Nestled in the heart of Hout Bay, VELDT is a braai eatery and smokehouse celebrating the rich flavours of the land. Our menu features wood-fired and smoked dishes crafted from organic, grass-fed meats, including premium cuts like Karoo lamb, paired with local beers, boutique wines, and artisanal beverages.

With a sleek, modern design embracing rustic charm, VELDT offers more than just a dining experience—it’s a celebration of culture and community. Enjoy relaxed meals, indulge in tasting experiences.

At VELDT, we honour the tradition of the braai, igniting flavours, conversations, and connections—an experience rooted in the earth and fueled by fire.

    We can't wait to go back! Norman was extremely hands-on with service, and so was Prosper! The special was also incredible - steaks cooked to perfection and hands-down the best roosterkoek we have ever had.

    Alexis, thanks for the fantastic review! We run on flames, flavour and amazing feedback like this. Norman and Prosper and the team are going to be seriously chuffed with your praise. We cannot wait for your next visit ♥️

    My overseas visitors were very impressed by the quality of the food and the excellent service. They liked the idea of the potjie been served in the little black pot. As a local I will definitely be back, maybe for the next rugby match.

    Cool place, friendly staff, excellent food, just wasn't served warm enough

    Flattered by the praise Pamela, thank you! Embarrassed by the lukewarm bit. We’ll do better. Come back soon for the full, fiery version!

    Veldt was everything and more. From the starters to the desserts and cocktails. We got stuck in traffic which made us 45 minutes late but we called to update them and they were still able to accommodate us. Friendly wait staff and the look and feel of the restaurant is so warm. The steak that just melts in your mouth, the fresh crispy on the outside and soft on the inside fries, the large sharing platter with various meat options and braai broodjie that tastes like it was made with so much love. Best food and restaurant, I will definitely be going back soon.
