Set in the beautiful landscape of the Cape Winelands, just outside Stellenbosch, VUUR
is all about fire, flavour and the primal connection between food and flame.

Under the direction of chef-owner Shaun Scrooby, VUUR redefines cooking over an
open fire by utilising the raw intensity of fire as both an ingredient and a technique.

At VUUR, fire is more than just a cooking method – it is a philosophy. Every dish is
carefully crafted with open flames, embers and smoke, enhancing the natural flavours of the finest ingredients sourced from local farmers, butchers and foragers.

The restaurant embodies a deep respect for nature, sustainability and the purity of elemental cooking.

Whether choosing VUUR Private Dining, sharing the experience with
other guests at the VUUR Goose Island Social Table, or viewing the chefs conjuring up their magic by sitting at the Chef’s Counter on Goose Island, you will be exposed to a magical theatre of cooking on open flames and bedazzled by the flavours extracted from the different types of wood used.

    It was the first time that my wife and I had been to VUUR. WOW, what a setting, from the moment we arrived, to the moment we left (4.30 hours later) we very impressed with everything. Goose Island was Beautiful, the guys looking after us each had a story about the place, the wine and the food. The food just kept on coming with flavors that made you mouth water. It was fine dining, South Africa style. Great for meat eaters. I meet a lot of tourists in Franschhoek, and I will be recommending VUUR as one of the "must go" places for lunch. Thank you very much for have us. We loved every minute, taste and mouthful. Robert and Julie Leibbrandt
