Zuney Burgers launches at Time Out Market Cape Town with Wagyu menu

Time Out Market Cape Town, the food and cultural market that brings the best of the city under one roof, expands its culinary line-up with the introduction of Zuney Burgers, officially trading from 3 March 2026.

Marking the third location for one of Cape Town’s most celebrated Wagyu burger brands, which recently expanded with a new Zuney Wagyu Burger Bar at Nine Yards in Joburg, Zuney Burgers brings its distinctive farm-to-table philosophy to the Market. The brand joins a vibrant roster of renowned chefs and culinary talents.

Signature Wagyu burgers and sides

Diners can expect signature favourites, including:

• Cheese Burger. Wagyu beef, American cheese, pickles, Wagyu-infused onions, house sauce and a light brioche bun.
• Wagyu Fries. Hand-cut potato fries, twice cooked in Wagyu tallow for a distinct flavour and crunch, seasoned with chip spice.
• Wacon. Wagyu beef, Wagyu bacon, American cheese, pickles, Wagyu-infused onions, house sauce and a light brioche bun.

From online Wagyu supplier to award-winning burger brand

Founded by Henning Klopper and Devin Wells, Zuney Burger began as Zuney Wagyu, an online meat business supplying premium Wagyu beef to customers across South Africa. When they recognised that only a portion of each animal could be sold as prime cuts, they identified an opportunity in the surplus. The result was Zuney Burgers, a concept built on sustainability and flavour.

“We’re not just serving burgers; we’re serving our farm. Every patty starts in Zuney Valley in the Eastern Cape, where our Wagyu is raised responsibly and with intention. That direct farm-to-plate approach is what makes Zuney different,” says Klopper.

The brand’s continued growth has also seen South African actor and entrepreneur Siv Ngesi join as a shareholder.

“I have loved Zuney for many years. It’s an incredible brand. It’s bold and out there. I want no beef. It’s the best burger in South Africa. Currently, it’s blowing people’s minds in Joburg. Some people wait up to an hour for a burger. It’s great to have one in Joburg, one in Kloof Street, and now one at the Time Out Market at the V&A Waterfront. Everyone has been asking us about opening more. You never know. There might be more around the corner,” says Ngesi.

Awards and national recognition

Since launch, Zuney Burgers has earned several accolades, including:

• 2024 Luxe Burger Joint of the Year, South Africa
• 2024 Uber Eats Best New Restaurant, Western Cape
• Luxe People’s Choice Award for Cape Town in 2024 and 2025

Most recently, the brand claimed victory in the Econofoods National Burger Challenge at the 2025 Africa Food Show, organised by Gulfoods.

“Zuney Burgers has always been about doing burgers differently, starting with premium, farm-to-table Wagyu from the Eastern Cape and building flavour from there. Joining Time Out Market Cape Town is an opportunity to share that quality with a wider audience. We’re proud to stand alongside some of Cape Town’s best and bring our take on Wagyu to this iconic food destination,” says Mieke Klopper, Zuney Burger Brand Manager.

“Bringing Zuney Burgers and their unique farm-to-table philosophy to Time Out Market Cape Town is a strong moment,” says Russ Meyer, General Manager of Time Out Market Cape Town. “Their dedication to quality, from their own Wagyu farm to their crafted burgers, embodies the culinary excellence we celebrate at the Market. Zuney Burgers will elevate our diverse line-up further.”
