South Africa’s first Ribs & Burgers restaurant opened at Menlyn Maine in late September. A further 20 to 30 locations will apparently open in key metropolitan markets throughout the country over the next three years.
Ribs & Burgers takes the typical burger offering and adds a modern sensibility with a healthy twist. The size and format of the offering will be modified based on the locations chosen.
The best South African free-range, grass-fed beef, as well as free-range chicken will be served. Healthy, delicious sides and salad will be tailored specifically for this market, providing wonderful alternatives for those looking for a lighter meal.
The roll out in South Africa is being powered by Natasha and Savva Sideris, a brother and sister team with over 30 years of collective experience in the restaurant business, and best known for the tashas brand.
Nic Marot, who has over 12 years of experience in the food business as a seasoned restaurant consultant with a keen passion for well-sourced meat and healthy food, will be spearheading the new venture.
