Durban’s Iconic Steakhouse Experience

OUR STORY

Founded in 1993 by Joop and Wendy Mol, Joop’s Place was born from their passion for great food and their desire to share it with Durban. Over the years, it grew into a beloved local institution, celebrated for serving the finest steaks in town. In 2019, Roslyn took over the restaurant, carrying forward the legacy while bringing her own dedication, warmth, and vision to Joop’s Place.

OUR AGING PROCESS

At our Joop’s Umhlanga branch, we honour the time-tested art of dry aging — a craft that transforms exceptional beef into something extraordinary. Inside our temperature-controlled Dry-Aging Cabinet, selected cuts rest for weeks under careful supervision. Gentle airflow, precise humidity, and low temperatures allow natural enzymes to slowly break down the fibers, deepening tenderness while concentrating flavour. The process cannot be rushed, and that is exactly why we showcase it proudly in full view of our guests.
