Where to eat Steakhouse food in Johannesburg: The Best Restaurants and Bars

February 9, 2020 Joeann Galban

Reviews on Steakhouse food in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Johannesburg is the place to go to mix big-city culture, shopping, dining and nightlife with outdoor adventures, up-close wildlife encounters and visits to historical sites. Explore caves and nature reserves, or visit a traditional village by day, then enjoy dinner at a hip cafe or five-star restaurant. And if you're a shopper, bring an extra, empty suitcase. With malls, open-air markets and places that blend the two, you'll find plenty of unique souvenirs.

Found the restaurant on google and based on the website, we decided to celebrate birthday's. Being from Durban, the restaurant was slightly difficult to find based on WAZE. Parking is very inconvenient as we had to walk in heels to the restaurant which was a good walk away. Upon the elevator doors opening, the restaurant is beautiful, well lit and spacious. we where escorted to our table and asked immediately to place our drink orders. Once the drinks arrived we where asked to place our orders. the waiter insisted we place our starters and mains at the same time. We asked the waiter for his suggestions and ironically he pushed the most expensive meals down our throat, R900 for a steak sheesh dairy cow or not that is a bit much! However we managed to order what WE wanted. The prawn and avo starter is absolutely amazing and is a must try, for my main i had the sirloin steak, was not the greatest but was good. The dessert menu then came, and i had to remind the waiter that we where celebrating two birthdays'. I made a reservation and sent a follow up email to confirm this. I was a bit annoyed with having to remind the waiter that we were celebrating a birthday in front of the people who where celebrating their birthdays. We received ice cream with a card. We also had the ice cream cookie, nothing extraordinary, but the cinnamon meringue is amazing.Visit for the experience, and Instagram photo but nothing would really make me want to return.

We had dinner at this restaurant and I was very impressed with my meal.1. Located as a stand-alone building in a safe center, with ample parking and the widest parking bays in Johannesburg.2. The restaurant has an inviting atmosphere.3. I had their lamb chops: succulent, thick cut and I savoured every bite. In future, this is the place I will go for my lamb chop craving. 4. The kids enjoyed their hamburgers and ribeye steak. 5. The service is good, and their meals are well-priced.Our overall dining experience was fantastic.

Che Argentine Gril

Reviewed By Joanita R

While visiting Maboneng, we stopped at the Argentine Grill for lunch. The menu offered a variety of dishes and catered for everyone in our party. The atmosphere was fantastic and the rustic décor added to the ambience of the place. The staff were friendly and efficient and the service was very good. We ordered various meals from the tapas menu and every single dish was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

This old dame never disappoints. There is certainly a reason they have been around for so long. Maintaining the charm of a 60s/70s steakhouse. The waiting staff to management radiate old school warm, family hospitality. The food is certainly better than most fancy, trendy steakhouses in JHB. Their ribs are the star of the show. Ribs you will be craving soon after your 1st visit. Even their side dishes are pure comfort. If you feel like a starter before the gigantic rib portion, the prawn cocktail took me on a stroll down memory lane. Simple but delicious. The desserts will ring a few bells too! Will be back again and again. Saul, our waiter, was a gem. Don’t know why all restaurants cannot maintain this kind of service and passion amongst staff. Winning formula.

The Local Grill

Best Steakhouse in South Africa awarded by The Wolftrap steakhouse championships. Offering kitchen tours and beef courses. Beef all aged on the premises and cut to order.

Reviewed By Karen S

This well established restaurant has been here some time & has a great atmosphere & friendly staff. The menu is quite extensive & caters for a variety of tastes. However, was disappointed with all the hype around the steaks from grass fed animals. Had medium rare to medium fillet steaks & found them quite tough. Must be an acquired taste.Hi KarenThank you for your review.We have an immediate exchange policy for just this reason...so sorry you have to chew through a piece of beef you didn't enjoy.After the ageing process the beef should be tender and juicy and we only select beef from farmers that are very selective and care for the well being of their bovine. If you are back in SA and have some time, please visit bus again and I will personally see to your beef experience.Wishing you many happy steaks, regards Steve.
