Setup, owned and run by the legendary Goncalves brothers, Victor and Naldo, NV-80 is the connection to years of dedication to industry and craft. An ode to the classic grill houses of yesteryear, NV-80 is a nod to a bygone era of honest service, exceptional food, and a traditional yet contemporary dining aesthetic.

Serving beautiful steaks, seafood, salads, and a wide array of starters, sides, and specials, NV-80 has something for everyone. Over the years, NV-80 has become a staple with locals and tourists and has earned NV-80 a reputation as a Cape Town institution.

It was bought in 2022 by NoName Hospitality Group and its partners to honor the brand legacy while adding value for a loyal customer base. NoName Hospitality Group intends to build on the brand’s reputation for quality products and service and strive to uphold the incredible standards and time-honored traditions instilled by the brothers. Your old favorite reimagined.
