Located at 84 Harrington Street in Cape Town’s East City precinct, East City Grill is a contemporary steakhouse built around fire, flavour and fusion. Set within the city’s landmark hemp building, the restaurant forms part of a dual-concept space alongside its Japanese-style counterpart, Yakiniku. At its core, East City Grill reimagines South Africa’s braai tradition through a refined, urban lens, pairing premium cuts including locally sourced wagyu with subtle Asian influences. The result is a menu that balances smoke, precision and modern technique, positioning it as a confident addition to Cape Town’s increasingly competitive dining scene.
