A Wealth of Good Taste in the heart of Sandton
Welcome to The Bull Run, a true Sandton legendary restaurant that's been satisfying discerning palates for over two decades - an icon of the financial district. Inspired by the fast-paced world of the New York Stock Market and a clever nod to a NY grill houses, The Bull Run delivers a dining experience that's as rich and dynamic as the market itself.
Be immersed in a masterfully designed space that exudes an air of sophistication, where every detail speaks to a bygone era of wealth and taste. The décor feels as if it has been meticulously curated over decades: plush leather armchairs and dark wood panelling, with walls adorned with art in ornate gold and black frames. The low ambient lighting from an antique chandelier that bathes the space in a warm, golden glow that feels both intimate and grand. The larger-than-life, sculpted bronze bull standing proudly at the entrance, a symbol of rising markets and resilience, perfectly captures the spirit of The Bull Run—where excellence is always on the uptrend. As you settle in, feel the pulse of Maude Street’s hustle and bustle from one of our sidewalk tables.
The Bull Run has been in a steady bull market of its own, consistently offering high-quality, affordable cuisine paired with impeccable service. The menu is a living expression of creativity and refinement, constantly evolving to reflect the ever-rising standards of quality and innovation. Much like the dynamic nature of the stock market.
When it comes to the main event - our succulent cuts of meat - we’re in a class of our own. Aged to perfection in-house for 28 days, our steaks are a journey for the palate, with options like wet-aged steaks for those who love a buttery, tender cut, and dry-aged cuts for connoisseurs who crave deep, earthy flavours and prepared to suit every preference. The stakes are high with our Top Traders selection - a heavyweight in the world of dining.
But the Bull Run is more than just steak - The menu is a diverse investment, offering everything from vibrant salads, timeless starters to generous burgers, signature chicken, innovative fish, and market-savvy vegetarian and vegan options. Finish strong with a sweet return.
The Dollar Bar - A true no-nonsense space for those who know how to play the market. Browse our extensive wine list, carefully curated to offer exceptional pairings, or sip on one of our signature cocktails, blending tradition with subtle innovation to create a menu that caters to every taste.
Our Private Dining Room provides an intimate, stylish reprieve - protected from the restaurant’s bustling activity - where you can focus on what matters most: fine food, great company, and unbroken conversation. Whether you're hosting a celebration or discussing business strategy.
We serve much more than food - We offer an experience that brings together the sophistication of the financial world with the richness of culinary craftsmanship.
Who's Cooking?

Kabelo Molosiwa
Kabelo Molosiwa’ s culinary journey is a testament to passion, perseverance, and the power of dreams. Born in a small town in North West province, his love for cooking was ignited by his late mother, an exceptional cook whose Sunday meals were a cherished tradition. From an early age, he found joy in the kitchen, experimenting with flavours and recreating dishes he saw on television—his school lunch tin always filled with his latest creations.
His relentless curiosity led him to refine his skills, eventually pursuing formal training in culinary arts at Capital Hotel School and Training Academy. His career took off where he quickly climbed the ranks—from Commis Chef to Chef de Partie in just a few months. His talent and dedication secured him a place on the opening team of a well-known hotel group, where he continued his meteoric rise, earning promotions to Junior Sous Chef and then Sous Chef in record time. He seized a new opportunity at Protea Hotel Balalaika in Sandton, where he rose to become the Executive Chef.
Today, he leads with vision and innovation, overseeing four distinctive dining experiences:
1) Bull Run Restaurant – A premier steakhouse renowned for its excellence and a menu excitedly updated every six months.
2) Conservatory – A refined space serving breakfast and conference lunches.
3) Destination Lounge – A hub for gourmet meat platters, tapas, and private events.
4) Lords Bar – One of Sandton’s most historic bars, where tradition meets sophistication.
Guiding these culinary spaces is more than a job—it’s Kabelo’s way of crafting unforgettable experiences for guests while honouring his mother’s legacy. Kabelo’s culinary art reflects his journey with Fusion Inspirations. His love for cooking started at home, where every meal was a way to bring his family together. Now, in the kitchen, that same passion transforms strangers into family—one plate at a time.
