The best steakhouses in South Africa, according to the experts: the World's 101 Best has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. The Blockman comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Johannesburg.

Rank 1. The Blockman
Steakhouse
An open butchery case in the dining room isn't decoration; it's the whole thesis. This Parkhurst steakhouse ages and butchers its own meat in-house, runs it over an open fire grill, and lets the craft do the talking rather than the menu. Ranked among the World's Best Steak Restaurants, the place feels industrial but warm, and the team knows every cut well enough to be interesting without becoming a lecture.

Rank 1. VUUR Restaurant
Steakhouse
A fire-led steakhouse on a small island within Remhoogte Wine Estate, ringed by still water and the Simonsberg Mountains in the background. The chef dry-ages South African breeds and cooks them over an open grill, letting the fire deepen rather than dominate. It holds a spot on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list. The setting slows everything down, and the meal follows suit, moving at the pace of woodsmoke and embers.
