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.

    Such an experience!! We had an amazing afternoon at Vuur. The staff were brilliant and made the whole experience so special. It’s like you’re in a friends kitchen and you’re having glasses of wine and great food. Watching how the chefs cooked everything on the open flame was great fun. The food was amazing, I’m just quite picky… a couple of bits were colder than I was expecting (you can’t expect everything to be piping hot off of an open flame when cooking everything else), the fish was great but slightly overdone (went amazing with the wine!) the winners for sure were the bone marrow soaked bread to start, the waygu beef and the dessert.

    Simply outstanding. Shaun is not only an excellent chef and host but the setting he has put together and the team he leads so well make for this to be a great great dining experience. Leroy was outstanding too with the wine pairings and explanations. Simply must go. Just do it

    Extraordinary experience, food was superb. We brought kids along and they have been so accommodating, going over and beyond. Highly recommended. Not on the cheap side.

    The seating arrangement could be improved and together with the music & the talking the ambience is getting quite noisy/loud!

    More than a steak house. It’s all about lstening to stories. Sean is a great host. And yes, the fare was world class!
