McDonald’s Breakfast Menu Prices & Times South Africa 2026
McDonald’s South Africa serves breakfast from opening until 10:30am on weekdays, with some branches running to 11am at weekends. Prices start at R33.90 for a Hash Brown and run to R92.90 for a Mega McMuffin Meal. The South African breakfast menu also carries something no other McDonald’s market has, a full boerewors range built around the Boerie patty, and that is where the genuinely local eating happens. The full McDonald’s breakfast menu prices, serving times and Boerie range are set out below.
McDonald’s Breakfast Times in South Africa
This is the question most people are actually asking, so here it is first.
| Day | Breakfast served |
|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | From opening until 10:30am |
| Saturday and Sunday | From opening until 11:00am at many branches |
Most branches open at 6:00am, so breakfast typically runs a four to five hour window. Highway and 24-hour locations start earlier. Weekend extension to 11:00am is common but not universal, so if you are cutting it fine on a Sunday morning, check your branch. McDonald’s breakfast menu prices do not change through the morning, so the same rates apply from opening to the 10:30am cut-off.
Once breakfast ends, the full menu takes over and breakfast items stop being available until the next morning. McDonald’s South Africa does not serve breakfast all day in practice, and the 10:30am cut-off is the one that applies at the counter. Worth knowing that the official menu section still sits at an all-day-breakfast web address, which reads as a leftover from an earlier menu structure rather than a current serving policy.
McDonald’s Breakfast Menu Prices
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Hash Brown | R33.90 |
| Boerie Burger | R35.90 |
| Boerie Burger Meal | R48.90 |
| Sausage McMuffin | R53.90 |
| Egg McMuffin | R54.90 |
| Sausage McMuffin with Egg | R58.90 |
| Boerie & Egg Meal, with fries and small coffee | R63.90 |
| Boerie Burger Double Meal | R71.90 |
| Sausage McMuffin Meal | R75.90 |
| Mega McMuffin Meal | R92.90 |
McDonald’s breakfast menu prices start with the Hash Brown at R33.90, the cheapest item on the menu. The Boerie Burger at R35.90 is the cheapest thing that counts as an actual meal item, and for R13.00 more the Boerie Burger Meal adds fries and a drink, which is the best-value step on the list.
The Boerie Range, South Africa’s Own Breakfast
This is what separates a South African McDonald’s breakfast from one anywhere else in the world. The Boerie patty is a seasoned boerewors-style beef patty, and McDonald’s South Africa’s official breakfast menu now lists eight separate items built around it. The four with confirmed pricing are below.
| Item | What is in it | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Boerie Burger | Boerie patty, grilled fresh onion, ketchup and mustard on a toasted bun | R35.90 |
| Boerie Burger Meal | The above, with regular fries and a regular drink | R48.90 |
| Boerie & Egg Meal | Boerie patty, egg, ketchup and onion, with small fries and a small filter coffee | R63.90 |
| Boerie Burger Double Meal | Two boerie patties on the standard Boerie Burger build, served with fries and a drink | R71.90 |
The Boerie Burger outsells the Egg McMuffin at most South African branches, which is worth knowing if you are used to McDonald’s breakfast elsewhere and assume the McMuffin is the default order. It is also R19.00 cheaper than an Egg McMuffin. McDonald’s South Africa does not publish a description for the Boerie Burger Double Meal, so the build listed above follows the standard Boerie Burger with a second patty added.
McMuffin Prices
| McMuffin | Price |
|---|---|
| Sausage McMuffin | R53.90 |
| Egg McMuffin | R54.90 |
| Sausage McMuffin with Egg | R58.90 |
| Sausage McMuffin Meal | R75.90 |
| Mega McMuffin Meal | R92.90 |
The gap between the Sausage McMuffin and the Egg McMuffin is R1.00, so the choice comes down to preference rather than price. Adding egg to the Sausage McMuffin costs R5.00.
The Mega McMuffin Meal at R92.90 is the most expensive item on the breakfast menu, R17.00 above the standard Sausage McMuffin Meal. Worth noting that the Mega McMuffin is a chicken build rather than a beef or pork one, two seasoned chicken sausage patties with egg, smoked chicken roll, cheese and ketchup on a toasted buttered English muffin.
Other Items on the Official Breakfast Menu
McDonald’s South Africa’s own breakfast menu page lists several breakfast items beyond the price table above. Availability varies by branch and some rotate, so check your local restaurant or the MyMcDonald’s app for current McDonald’s breakfast menu prices on these.
| Item | What is in it |
|---|---|
| SA Breakfast | Two boerie patties, grilled onions, tomato, scrambled eggs, fries and a freshly toasted bun |
| SA Breakfast Meal | The above, served with a small filter coffee |
| Boerie & Hash Brown Stack | Boerie patty, hash brown, grilled onions and jalapeño sauce on a freshly toasted bun |
| Boerie & Hash Brown Stack with Filter Coffee | The stack above, served with a filter coffee |
| Boerie & Egg Burger | Boerie patty, egg, ketchup and grilled onion on a toasted bun, the burger on its own rather than as a meal |
| Boerie Burger Double | Two boerie patties, grilled onion, ketchup and mustard, sold on its own |
| Egg McMuffin Meal | Egg McMuffin with a side and a drink |
| Sausage McMuffin with Egg Meal | Sausage McMuffin with egg, with a side and a drink |
The SA Breakfast is the one worth seeking out. Two boerie patties with scrambled egg and fries is a substantially bigger plate than anything in the McMuffin range, and it does not exist on a McDonald’s menu anywhere else.
One thing not to expect: Hotcakes and the Big Breakfast plate that other McDonald’s markets run do not appear on the South African breakfast menu.
McCafé Coffee with Breakfast
Two breakfast meals include a small filter coffee as standard, the Boerie & Egg Meal and the SA Breakfast Meal. If you want something beyond filter coffee, the McCafé range is priced separately.
| Drink | Price |
|---|---|
| Homestyle Doughnut | R15.90 |
| Cappuccino | R26.90 |
| Tea | R34.90 |
| Tall Americano | R38.90 |
| Muffin | R39.90 |
| Iced Latte | R39.90 |
| Hot Chocolate | R42.90 |
| Spanish Latte | R46.90 |
| Tall Cafe Latte | R46.90 |
The Homestyle Doughnut and Short Filter combo at R26.90 is the cheapest way to get coffee and something sweet, and it sits in the promotions range rather than the breakfast menu proper.
The Cheapest McDonald’s Breakfast
| Order | Price |
|---|---|
| Hash Brown only | R33.90 |
| Boerie Burger only | R35.90 |
| Boerie Burger + Hash Brown | R69.80 |
| Boerie Burger Meal, with fries and drink | R48.90 |
| Homestyle Doughnut and Short Filter | R26.90 |
The Boerie Burger Meal at R48.90 is the standout. It costs R13.00 more than the Boerie Burger on its own but includes regular fries and a regular drink, which would cost around R56.80 bought separately. That makes it the only breakfast item where the meal upgrade saves you more than it costs.
Is There a McDonald’s Breakfast Menu PDF?
McDonald’s South Africa does not publish a downloadable breakfast menu PDF. The official menu lives on mcdonalds.co.za and in the MyMcDonald’s app, and the site itself lists items without prices, so branch pricing comes from the app or the menu board. The McDonald’s breakfast menu prices on this page are compiled from the app and in-store menu boards.
Third party PDFs circulating online are worth treating carefully. Breakfast pricing has moved more than once in the past year, and a downloaded file has no way of telling you when it was last accurate.
Breakfast Deals on the MyMcDonald’s App
McDonald’s South Africa runs most of its discounting through the MyMcDonald’s app rather than on the menu board, and breakfast items appear in that rotation regularly. Deals change weekly and are redeemed by generating a code in the app, then scanning it at the counter, kiosk or drive-thru.
Worth checking before you order, particularly on McMuffins, where the app discount can be steeper than the difference between any two items on the menu.
