About Ace Butchery and Restaurant

Ace Butchery & Restaurant is an absolute masterclass in authentic South African street culinary culture, delivering a high-energy, smoky, and deeply satisfying dining experience right in the South Beach grid. Operating on the classic braai-while-you-wait concept, the establishment allows patrons to select raw, premium cuts of meat straight from their fresh butcher display counters ranging from juicy beefsteaks and basted pork ribs to flame-grilled chicken wings. The meats are then expertly braaied over open fires and served alongside heapings of fresh, hot pap or ujeqe (steamed bread), zesty chakalaka chutney, and dynamic sambal salads. Combining an unpretentious, cozy neighborhood lounge vibe with crisp local beers, signature cocktails, big sports screens for live football matches, and late-night kitchen availability, it acts as a highly recommended, value-packed social oasis for tourist cohorts and groups of friends looking to experience the true heartbeat of Durban’s culinary scene.
