Celebratory dinner for my good friend Jess. The staff were A class just like their steak. I dined like a king.
I had the privilege of attending a birthday dinner here and I was stunned. Service was on point. We took a look at the wine cellar and the butchery too. The rib eye is a must!
What a lovely dinner we had at The Butcher Shop & Grill! We were welcomed warmly and the friendly staff gave us an exclusive tour of the restaurant, their wine selection and different cuts of meat.
The Calamari Salad Starter was my absolute favourite! For main, I had slow-roasted lamb, cooked to perfection. The meals are extremely generous portions, therefore I struggled even thinking about ordering dessert. However, when the sorbet was on the table it was the perfect pallet cleanser and delicious way to end off a spectacular dinner.
Thank you The Butcher Shop & Grill!
We had an absolutely amazing experience at Butcher Shop & Grill in Cape Town, from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The tour of the butchery and wine cellar allowed us to pick our cuts of meat and bottles from the vast selection which made it that much more memorable. We were so impressed by the attention to detail and customer service. Highly recommend the snails as a starter as well as the malva pudding dessert. Thank you for making my birthday one to never be forgotten! We will be back very soon.
The most miserable restaurant experience in Cape Town. Waiters have a very negative attitude- they asked us to leave the place after finishing our food, claiming that the place was reserved. The steak was burnt and tasted awful. Bottom line, avoid the place!
Celebrated my birthday here with my family. And none of us were disappointed. Decent service. Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Just a few extra opinions: Best avocado prawn cocktail I’ve tasted. I’m not a big lemon meringue fan but the one here has given me something to think about and the steaks are quality. I must admit that it is on the pricey side. But if you have an opportunity to spoil yourself. I would recommend this place.
Great food, although maybe not worth the price. The stunning location makes up for this though, especially if you can sit outside when the wind isn't blowing. Service is very friendly and efficient.
Select your own meat and how big you want it, it can get expensive but with there quality, service and taste worth every cent of it. The staff is great and know there food and there wine. The selection and view is just what you want for a nice quiet lunch or dinner with a loved one.
We were really impressed. It’s another franchise that meets the expectations.
It is situated across from the beach. The set up of the restaurant is great and well the food was top class.
I would definitely go back the next time I am in CT!
Best steak house experience I’ve had in as long as I can remember. Laid back venue on the beachfront. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Personal recommendation from the butcher for best suitable cut for your taste. All the food was excellent

Baby wanted a steak ..and when Baby wants a steak- Baby gets a steak🥩🤣.
My love was craving a steak dinner- after a quick search it was decided that we would try the Butcher Shop & Grill.
We didn't have a reservation, so we were seated at the family style table, which was great because we met an awesome new friend.
The space is impeccable, every thing was so well crafted from the exquisite leather stools, to the leather apron which my husband loves. The lighting was perfect, made for a nice intimate setting to dine alone, with friends/family, or with a good book as one patron did- he was definitely a return guest.
The shop had carefully selected items and pairings for said items- love the oyster tank, it is such a cleaver idea.
My husband had the ribeye- medium rare with pepper sauce, and I had the grilled pork chops with pineapple and a sweet potato. It was man against steak and man won- he enjoyed every bite.
My pork chops were overcooked and dry, but still flavorful. I didn't try the potato as it was also overdone.
The critics: My meal was not great- pork has to be handled carefully or else you get sawdust. Our server accidentally poured water in my husband's whisky and charged for a replacement- we didn't catch it until days later and after we left Cape Town.
Overall we had an amazing experience and lovely service which made up for the shortcomings. We will absolutely return and I will try something else.
Overall a 5 star experience.
I thought they just do grill foods only. So when I went and I found out they had variety on the menu, I was pleasantly surprised. I had an oxtail, and it was really good. My partner had a steak, and he highly rated it - said best steak he ever had. I only had a glass of the house wine - chardonnay, but it was so good. Great on the palate. Service was great. Most importantly, it is kid friendly.
Ok, this place is in South Africa. The atmosphere is inviting, good vibes nice layout. Unique display items. The service as it should be was top notch. Now the steak was done to order the sides were on point. The bartender got down with the mojito. Very good 👍🏾
Now I can say for certain that wherever you are you can get a proper steak. Johannesburg or Cape Town, you can go to the Butchery Shop and get the cut you want cooked to perfection, wether it be Kobe, Wagyu or a simple Sirloin or Rib Eye.
Amazing decoration and atmosphere with wine all around you apparently they do not have a wine storage or its too small for the huge wine list they have!
Very good service.
Food is amazing, whatever you chose on the menu.
We pitched up for a traditional South African meal and were served, steak, pap and creamed spinach on the side, malva pudding for desert and Rock Shandy to wash the lot down. Boy what can I say? The food was DELICIOUS! Steak (we opted for ribeye, medium to well) was perfectly done. Moreover they didn't just fill our stomachs, but also our hearts too!!! ♥️
Such a beautiful and romantic restaurant. Food was great, steaks were cooked to perfection.
The only downfall is that the tables are placed way too close to one another, you can't have a conversation with the person sitting across from you and not hear what the people next to you are talking about.
Not only that, One would think that you would have a more quiet atmosphere considering the place but there was a table that was so loud and just made it hard to speak to the person sitting across from you.
But other than that it was okay.
George was a fantastic waiter- thank you for keeping my wine glass full 😄
An incredible restaurant. A definite must visit if you are ever in Cape Town. Great selection of steak 🥩 and wine🍷. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. If you are like me who can’t really make up my mind when presented with several equally amazing options then you will definitely need the staff here. Ask for the game of the day or describe your taste to them and they’ll definitely recommend something great to have and an equally amazing wine to accompany with. To get an even better experience, try at least to reserve a table in advance because it gets busy sometimes and a walk in won’t guarantee you those amazing seats with a view of the sunset. When the weather is nice, you can seat outside which makes the experience even more magical. An impeccable place to enjoy great steak, wine and conversation with a friend or family. This review doesn’t fully describe just how much of a great experience we had. Wholeheartedly recommend it.
Awesome experience and amazing meat dishes.
One small negative were that the waiters were not really paying attention to us. We were in two for a date and were sitting at a 4 seater and the waiter didn’t clear the other unused glasses and plates to allow us a little more space. When we asked for it to be cleared we got told “hold on I’m busy” and later came back to clear the table. Drink order was taken late and arrived 25min after we ordered it.
When we eventually ordered our food and the waiter realised we ordered an SQ item he was on our table checking up on us every 5 minutes. Our drinks got refilled super quickly and he made conversation with us asking and ensuring everything was ok.
Now this isn’t a bad thing, but it would be nice to know that everyone gets treated equally despite how much money they are spending. Felt a little shallow to only get good service if you spend a lot of money or order an SQ item…
For an everyday steakhouse, their meat is delicious and cooked perfectly. Although I prefer grass fed beef, their grain fed meats are soft and tender (i think its mostly Karen beef). The side salad and chips could be improved. Mash is tops. Sit downstairs for the crowd. Had the deconstructed apple crumble for dessert- will skip it next time as its more of a muesli with cooked apple
A solid steak house chain in a good neighborhood, but noisy and with many oddly placed tables. Ask for a window table. Wagyu is sensationally priced and worth the investment. Good wine selection. Service ok.
