The original Hussar Grill in Rondebosch first opened its legendary brass doors in 1964 and is today, after

47 years of
excellence, regarded as one of South Africas premier grill rooms.

We go to endless lengths every day to maintain our multiple award-winning reputation by ensuring that we only ever
purchase the freshest and best quality produce available.

Our butchers and game farmers deliver only the very finest quality South African grain fed beef and wild game cuts.
We personally attend to the maturation of all beef which is hung on the carcass for up to 7 days, before being wet aged
in our cold rooms for periods varying up to 35 days.

To those friends and guests that have previously frequented our grillrooms over the last 4 decades; our genuine and most
sincere thanks for your loyal support and continued patronage.

To our new guests; it is truly our sincerest wish that your entire experience with us will be an absolute delight and we look
forward to the privilege of welcoming you on a very regular basis in the future.

Bon Apptit and we remain, as ever, with pleasure and always at your service.
