Vuur named among world's best steakhouses... again
Firemaster Shaun Scrooby's Vuur has done it again!
The Remhoogte Wine Estate-based restaurant has been named as the 87th best steak restaurant in the world for 2025.
After coming in 88th place in 2024, the jump up one place on The World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants list will have brought a smile to the faces of Scrooby and his dedicated team.
'The culinary philosophy of the brainchild and chef-owner Shaun Scrooby is rooted in the art of open-fire cooking. Utilising up to six different types of wood, each chosen for its unique flavour profile, the team crafts a seasonal, seven-course menu that showcases the best of local produce, meats and seafood. Dishes are prepared and served in front of guests, with chefs sharing the stories and inspirations behind each creation,' the write-up for Vuur's 87th-place finish reads.
You may remember that Time Out Cape Town had the pleasure of visiting Vuur earlier this year for The Rare Tour, which saw Madrid's Los33 join the Vuur team for a fire collaboration of note. You can read all about that experience here.
After finishing in 15th place in 2024, chef Oswaldo Gonzalez and his Los33 dropped down to 28th on the 2025 list.

Thousands to attend sold-out Scotland Card Show in Glasgow
Over the past three years, the Scotland Card Show has grown from 300 people in a hall to over 8,000 expected to attend this year's show at the SEC. This year's event will take place in two halls in the arena from June 28 to 29. The show is the brainchild of 27-year-old Jordan Gorman, who set up the event as a lifelong collector of trading cards. Jordan, from Poolewe in Wester Ross, said: "I grew up collecting Pokémon cards and Yu-Gi-Oh cards with my brothers, and over lockdown, I reignited that kind of love for collecting. "After lockdown, I carried on with the hobby and just kind of looked to do a little community meet up with other people around Scotland who also collected. "So, we hired a small hall in Glasgow with the money I had as a school teacher in Edinburgh. "And then 300 people turned up to this small hall with a queue going down the road. "Now it's gone from a little community meetup to a full convention now in Glasgow." Fans will be hoping to find rare cards at the show (Image: Ross Wardrop) READ MORE: HUGE new mural being painted in Glasgow city centre by well-known artist Jorda had never hosted an event before he organised the first show. He said, "I have no experience in event management or event organising. "It was genuinely just booking a hall and putting it on Instagram, hoping people would turn up. "And now it's just turned, and I've kind of learned as I go, and now, after 3 years, I'm still learning as I go. "I'm actually really lucky that the event is now growing so much that I bit the bullet and quit my job at Edinburgh Council in September 2024 to focus on it full time." That gamble has paid off as he's already looking at the show getting bigger again next year. Jordan explained: "We did it last year for one day, and that was just in one hall and then again that sold out. "So then we were like, 'Right, we're going two days and adding that little extra hall beside it.' And now that's sold out. "So now we're adding even another hall next year to have more than like 10,000 people next year. So that's all booked and ready to go." Fans of all ages will be coming to the show (Image: Ross Wardrop) READ MORE: 'Phenomenal': Glasgow flower shop named best in Scotland at top awards Jordan's also managed to secure a roster of seriously impressive special guests, including ex-Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon. He added: "He's actually really enthusiastic about it, and I think he's really excited to meet fans and sign stuff for everyone all day. "So, we hope this is just the start of many footballers joining the card show." Jordan also revealed that ex-Motherwell footballer Tony Watt will be there, as will a host of YouTube and voice-acting stars. There'll be plenty of high-value cards as well as high-profile stars there, with one collector even contacting Jordan to arrange security for cards worth a small fortune. He explained: "People are now making it their business as well because these trading cards can be worth so much. "You're talking like, you know, hundreds of thousands, some of these go for. "And at the card show, you're going to see just how valuable some of these cards are that you probably had as a kid, and sadly ended up in washing machines." They had the league trophy at the event last year (Image: Ross Wardrop) READ MORE: 'Local legend' road sweeper retires after 43 years working for council The card market has seen a massive boost from social media in recent years, and tales of cards making people life-changingly rich will have many hoping to find an extra rare card. However, Jordan's own collection is more personal, and he doesn't have much competition for it. He said: "I'm a Ross County fan. So I've been collecting Ross County cards, and luckily, there's not much demand for that. So I can get them all, and I'm the only buyer for them. "I also collect Pokémon base sets. So that's just kind of what we collected when we were younger. And my favourite Pokémon is Raichu. So that's who I've been going for." Jordan also recently scooped some awards for his work with the show, winning Rising Star at the Scottish Event Awards and then winning another at the UK Startup Awards. The show is sold out, but you can find out more about it here.
