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.

    We loved every second at VUUR! The food is beyond anything else and the crew makes you feel welcome from the start till the very end. We did the private experience and we all highly recommend it. The setting is so peaceful, which is a super bonus on top of everything else.

    A super enjoyable afternoon spend in a breathtaking setting with food to die for. Sean and Tana not only cooked for us many surprises on the open fire, we also enjoyed delightful chats and some bantering.

    The plates are not hot for the best steak. They need to long to bring the food on the table so it was cold. Service, the mans are very friendly, but there is a blond woman waiter, she goes eveytime with his hand unter her nose and than she cuttet the parts of the meal. It was not nice to see and eat. And why did they don't take gloves. The Ambience is perfect.

    Thank Thomas for taking the time to send us this review. We really appreciate it as we always strive to ensure that every service is perfect. We will take these comments and work on the necessary adjustments in service to ensure that we give our diners the best warm plates to ensure that we deliver the best steak possible. Thank you in advance Shaun & The VUUR Team
