[title]Time Out Market is ready to offer visitors and regulars a new flavour bomb experience as Zuney Burgers officially opens on Tuesday, 3 March.
The award-winning burger brand has built up a cult following with its much-loved farm-to-table Wagyu burgers straight from the Eastern Cape - and now they're bringing it to the heart of the Market.
For Zuney, farm-to-table starts with responsibly farmed Wagyu cattle and ends with burgers built using the whole animal. By turning surplus cuts into flavour-forward classics, they deliver on quality, sustainability and traceability in every bite.
“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 co-founder Henning Klopper.
Visitors can expect a menu rooted in quality ingredients and bold flavour, including the Cheeseburger with Wagyu beef, American cheese, pickles, Wagyu-infused onions, house sauce and a light brioche bun; Wagyu Fries, hand-cut and twice cooked in Wagyu tallow; and the indulgent Wacon, featuring Wagyu beef and Wagyu bacon with classic toppings.
Founded by Klopper and Devin Wells, Zuney Burger began as Zuney Wagyu, an online business supplying premium Wagyu beef, and its growth remains rooted in this sustainable sourcing approach. South African actor and entrepreneur Siv Ngesi has also boosted the brand's popularity, joining as a shareholder.
This opening marks the third location for the popular burger concept, following the recent launch of Zuney Wagyu Burger Bar at Nine Yards in Johannesburg, and makes it a natural fit for Time Out Market Cape Town’s curated mix of acclaimed chefs and food brands.
Since launching, Zuney Burgers has earned a string of accolades, including Luxe Burger Joint of the Year (South Africa) 2024, Uber Eats Best New Restaurant in the Western Cape 2024, and the Luxe People’s Choice Award for Cape Town in both 2024 and 2025. Most recently, the brand took top honours at the Econofoods National Burger Challenge at the 2025 Africa Food Show by Gulfoods.
“Zuney Burgers has always been about doing burgers differently, starting with premium, farm-to-table Wagyu from the Eastern Cape,” says Mieke Klopper, Zuney Burger Brand Manager. “Joining Time Out Market Cape Town allows us to share that quality with an even wider audience.”
"Zuney's dedication to quality, from their own Wagyu farm to their expertly crafted burgers, perfectly embodies the culinary excellence and passion we celebrate at the Market. Zuney Burgers will undoubtedly elevate our diverse line-up even further," adds Russ Meyer, General Manager of Time Out Market Cape Town.
With its focus on responsible sourcing and bold, uncomplicated flavours, Zuney Burgers adds an exciting new chapter to Time Out Market Cape Town, a top culinary destination for sampling the best of the Mother City.
