The new menu boasts a variety of options that cater to both traditional and adventurous preferences.
- From the succulent Three Primal Cuts of Beef, featuring fillet, rump, and sirloin, to more contemporary dishes like the Teriyaki Salmon with Wasabi Mash and Edamame Beans, there’s something for everyone. The menu showcases a fine balance of hearty steaks and lighter fare, offering dishes such as the Roasted Tomato and Basil Pesto Burrata, a burst of Mediterranean flavors, and the refreshing Smashed Cucumber, Watermelon & Feta Salad, perfect for the warmer seasons.
Meat lovers will appreciate the steakhouse’s signature cuts, like the famed Tomahawk Steak—grilled to perfection and ideal for sharing—or the indulgent Bull Run Platter, a feast of sirloin, BBQ pork ribs, chicken wings, and crispy onion rings. Each steak is aged for 28 days, ensuring the best flavor and tenderness, and served with a choice of sides including creamy mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or the traditional South African pap.
Not only does The Bull Run pride itself on its steaks, but the seafood selection also stands out. Dishes like the Seafood Linguine and the classic Falklands Calamari offer a delightful coastal twist to the menu. Meanwhile, those seeking plant-based options won’t be disappointed, with flavorful vegan dishes such as the Vegan Shepherd’s Pie, featuring hearty vegetables and plant-based protein.
To finish the meal, the dessert menu tempts with the Baked Caramel Cheesecake, a decadent treat topped with salted caramel popcorn, or the tropical Pina Colada Panna Cotta, an exotic blend of rum, coconut, and pineapple that transports you to an island paradise.
The Bull Run continues to bring a dynamic dining experience, maintaining its position as a standout restaurant in Sandton’s bustling financial district.
