WOW WOW WOW!!!!! I have never had such a wonderful dinner in a long time. Service - friendly, knowledgeable and highly attentive. The food... well... the only way to describe it is utterly delectable. The steaks were amazing. The vegetables were perfectly Al dente. Even my dogs couldn't get enough of marrow bones and rib bones I brought home for them. The ambiance was on point. Everything was just perfect. I've been sending my hotel guests here forever. My only regret is that I didn't go there sooner. Well done. I will most definitely be back.
This place is amazing excellent service and food , attention to detail in all aspects of service, I highly recommend it, to have that meal in the UK would have been double the cost�
T-Bone for 2 out of this world and good value!
Awesome steaks and everything was perfect, but the average spending of R250 for two person rated here is ridiculous. It should be minimum of R500.
Every time I come back to Stellenbosch I try to make my way to this restaurant (If they aren't fully booked). I have been home for 10 weeks now and been here 3 times. They source fantastic meat and their sides are to die for. I usually go for a plain Rump, Medium rare with Parmesan Mash as well as Braaibroodjies on the side. I tell everyone I know that visits Stellenbosch to try and go here because it is just too good to miss.
Our second visit and I am glad to say it was just as amazing as I remembered our first visit. From the moment we entered the premises it was an experience. Skaapstertjies as n starter set the bar rather high. The cauliflower soup was out of this world and a definite must. Meat was prepared spot on and the service ambassador excelled in brilliant service.
Wine collection is what one expect from a top class restaurant in the heart of the winelands. To make this experience even more worthwhile is the fact that prices are really well priced. Next time we in Cape Town we will make the drive again!
Full marks and ticks all the boxes. Food was amazing- cooked to perfection and flavourful. Menu is humble compared to the taste experience which is indescribable. Service was excellent with a great presentation of the various meat cuts . Ambiance is perfect, setting is ideal and stunning décor. A place worthy of one's time. Definitely worth every penny!
I’m really impressed with the fat butcher. The service was amazing and the food absolutely delicious. I especially loved the mushroom sauce on my steak. We had milkshakes afterwards and they were so thick and creamy - definitely share these as they are huge. The courtyard is stunning and next time I would love to sit out there.

Had such a good time at The Fat Butcher with my boyfriend and his family.
Meat was prepared absolutely beautifully. Lovely sauces.
The Fat Butcher Salad is an incredible starter for the table. The breads are divine.
This was absolutely an experience to never forget! We had dinner with friends and the food, drinks and dessert complimented the whole evening! The steak was perfectly cooked and the milk tart parcels were an absolute treat!
Best steak I have had, maybe ever! Great service, fabulous location in this amazing old Stellenbosch building and fabulous interior, mixing the old with the new!! Cant wait to go back!!
Wow, we tried beef cheeks, lamb tails and just continued, absolutely brilliant, the flavour of food here has to be the best we have tried and the service to match,
well done.
I happened to pass by and decided to try this place just before 5 PM in the evening. I was informed that it gets crowded after 6 PM, being a Saturday. As the high ratings in the reviews suggest, I was thoroughly satisfied with everything. Not only was the quality of the meat superb, but I also enjoyed the perfect grilling and flavorful sauces. The desserts were incredibly cute too! Since I had already visited a winery and indulged in wine there, I didn't order any here, but I saw an impressive cellar, so I look forward to trying their wines next time.
Had the most delicious lunch with excellent service from Ian! I had the lamb lumb with sweet potato fries. The lamb was so tasty and succulent. The sweet potato fries were so divine as well. Will definitely recommend both! What topped the whole experience was the service from Ian. He was very polite and extremely attentive, keep up the 5 star service Ian!!!
Such a great ambiance, lovely setting and atmosphere. The attention to detail makes it an amazing dining experience! Thank you to Curtney, who was exceptional in making us feel welcome, taking care of us and looking after us during our dinner experience! Thank you Fat Butcher for an amazing evening out!
Excellent restaurant with high quality staff, service and food. Parking is available opposite to the restaurant. We really enjoyed this restaurant and the experience. It is highly advised to make a reservation upfront, but we were able to get a spot after 15 minutes of waiting while drinking something.
Highly recommended!
I went to Fat Butcher last night for my daughter's 21st bday dinner. What a great experience. Amazing food, best steak ever. And the service was absolutely top notch. Our waitress was Fizzy and she was friendly, efficient and just an all round amazing waitress. I would definitely recommend Fat Butcher anytime. Well done!
Came in for dinner on the recommendation of a friend. This place is on her cape coast must visit list. And now it is on mine too!
Ethan, our server, was delightful. He got us really pumped up for the meal and mad everything fun.
The steak was insane. We picked from the specials. A 1kg picanha. And then some sides too. The spinach and corn in particular were great too.
We were also upsold on a wine, which I was hesitant to get at first but was absolutely amazing and just took the whole meal to another level.
The atmosphere was relaxed and lively. A place that knows they make incredible steaks but don’t take themselves too seriously either.
Highly recommend.
One of the best Steak experiences I ever had in a restaurant. Good Job Boys and Girls. Thanks Jenna for the great Service. We will come back in a few years. 👍🙌❤️
Absolutely delicious. Very professional service. One of the best steaks I've ever had.
Kurt was the most fantastic waiter, our gateway into the stunning world that is Fat Butcher. His charisma and charm made us not want to leave, ever. He explained the meats, the meals, the details of green peppercorns and shiitake mushrooms. I could hardly stop myself from drooling.
My son and daughter thoroughly enjoyed the terrific and phenomenal dining experience. My wife loved it too, and a happy wife is a happy life.
Ensure you book well in advance and hope that Fizzy serves you. The steak is amazing. Wonderful food, great service, beautiful ambience. Don't miss out if in Stellenbosch.
