Havana Grill
The multi award-winning Havana Grill at Suncoast Casino, has established itself as one of KwaZulu-Natal’s leading fine-dining establishments and is the ultimate destination for the meat and seafood lover on Durban’s Golden Mile. Overlooking the Sundeck and the Indian Ocean, ‘Havana’ (as the locals call it) specialises in steak, seafood and grills, as well as one of the largest and most varied selections of exclusive wines in town. The trendy cocktail bar is ideal for pre-dinner drinks or a comfortable place to end the evening with a nightcap. Havana’s cigar lounge is a favorite spot with locals and visitors, who value the opportunity to be able to savour a Cuban cigar in a refined environment. Havana Grill’s meat is all South African grain-fed Midlands and TripleA beef, which they age and cut on site, in their own butchery and their food ethos is to maximise the availability of seasonal ingredients, sourced locally and brought to their diners on a plate. Enjoy the perfect accompaniment to your meal with a glass of wine from our well-stocked cellar or a glass of locally-brewed craft beer. Havana Grill offers a choice of stylish dining options, private function areas and conference facilities, for intimate gatherings and bigger groups. Their unique venue can accommodate a la carte reservations for lunches or dinners, as well as total exclusivity for larger functions of up to 300 guests.

This has been the foundation of Butcher Boys since day one. Locally sourced fresh produce and meat from the trusted suppliers is what sets them apart, allowing them to serve the finest beef on offer in order to give patrons the ultimate experience in food, wine, service and ambiance. With an adventurous menu that provides an exceptional variety to satisfy most palettes, it’s no wonder that their 18-year legacy continues!
