Our Story

Welcome to BUSMAN’S GRILL – Where We’re Wild About Food!

Our culinary journey is as rich and flavourful as the dishes we serve. Over the decades, every twist and turn of our story has deepened our expertise, infusing each meal with passion and experience.

It all began in 1992 in Zimbabwe with DV8, where we introduced steaks so irresistible they made people “leave home for them.” A decade later, in 2002, our love for adventure brought us to the picturesque town of Hermanus in South Africa’s Western Cape. There, in 2004, we breathed new life into Rossi’s Italian Restaurant, a cherished local favourite.

But our journey didn’t stop there. In 2010, we took a bold leap across the waters to New Zealand, and by 2012, BUSMAN’S GRILL was born in Auckland.

The road hasn’t always been easy, but every challenge has been rewarding. Each dish we serve carries the essence of our journey—flavours steeped in tradition, dedication, and a love for food.

As you dine with us, you’re not just enjoying a meal—you’re becoming part of our legacy. From our heart to your plate, welcome to our little corner of Africa in Auckland!
