Excellent service and great food at the new location. Love the indoor-outdoor layout and the premises is perfectly situated away from the usual business on the other side. I can’t find a single fault, and the effort to make it work does not go unnoticed. They are also halaal-friendly. With summer around the corner, the new premises will be an absolute hit.

Really cool spot. The courtyard is stunning, and equally as elegant if you’re seated inside.We were a large table and the service was very good. We all ordered such diverse items like curries, prawns, sushi, dumplings and ribs!Everyone left full and very happy. There’s nothing like enjoying good company under the starlight with a delicious meal!!If you live in the area, please go and check it out!

We hosted a birthday dinner at Beluga and we could not have asked for a better experience.Our waiter, Tawanda - was incredible! He managed a party of 28 without breaking a sweat, was attentive, had every aspect nailed, and made our experience really pleasant.Beluga was super accommodating in terms of how we used the space. A really great venue for a celebration.Lastly, the food was outstanding! We had the summer set menu. Everyone was 100% satisfied with their meals and left with only good reviews of their courses. Favourites of the night - Tofu Crunch, Miso Line Fish and Crème Brûlée.We are so happy to have had such a positive experience.Thanks Beluga!

The service I could not fault at all. The food speaks volumes for itself. The specials were a great addition to the pleasant experience. The environment well decorated and cooled. The drinks was spot on and when asked for something else they make a plan for you which is really nice. The sushi we ordered is really nice. The rice to fish ratio was adequate but not impressive. The fried tofu sushi was a great twist and tasted great. The different platters are more affordable for what they are during the specials though. Sashimi is really well done though.

I am all about second chances and was very glad I gave this venue a second chance after a negative start. Suffice it to say they MORE than made up for the previous hiccup with excellent and friendly service. And the Norwegian Salmon and Belgian Chocolate Truffle cake was delicious. And the Classic Margarita was yum!! Hats off to the Manager, Lucy and Waitress, Jackie who more than redeemed the situation. We will definately be back!! 😁

Great vibe and atmosphere. Love the setup and how friendly our waiter was. The sushi was great, salmon extremely fresh just the way I like it. Food was lovely except for the tuna on the tempura which was a bit dry.

I went for stake straight as adviced by friends. Meat was great. Some ingredient was bit too salty, but in general - I liked it!Staff was friendly, enivonment also nice, good options of wine. Upscale price, but worth to experience at least once if you are in or just came to Cape Town. Few pictures, to get the feeling

....………As we are always on the look-out for new different, grand, exquisite and extraordinaril-ii exciting restaurants to eat at where they serve insidious-lii delicious cuisine so with my 66th birthday coming up we decided to pay a visit to Beluga as we have heard of the good vibe and food to be experienced here. The restaurant is located in a well renowned area where most of the old solid red-brick buildings have been upgraded to house many well placed businesses and also a good amount of fine and renowned restaurants. They say that first impressions last the longest and so it is, when you arrive at this solid red-brick building where the signage is well placed you are immediate-lii impressed by the sheer size of the area which they occupy, it is huge. The entrance to the restaurant is on the side where you go through a security manned point and the impression on entering the restaurant is one of royal-tii as the bright-red carpet is laid out right-up to the door. Outside to the one-side is a huge area with big outdoor umbrellas covering the tables and chairs provided for outside seating, in-between are big garden-pots with trees in to enhance the outdoor feeling and where at night-time they light-up the patio-heaters to reduce the chill, kind of very romantic! When you get through the front door the first encounter is with the very snazz-ii pub enclosed in glass from floor to ceiling and has pigeon-holes filled with wines and champagnes and the bluish-lights under the bar-counter real-lii put a touch of panache to it! As you venture deeper into this vast arena you get the feel of state-lii-ness as all the pillars and the ceilings are covered in wood paneling. The big yellow light-fittings cast a pleasant dim setting through-out the entire restaurant. Two walls which forms the corner have huge windows towards the outside roads, absolute-lii magical seating. The walls are sober-lii decorated with large live-lii murals one can see the sense in this as the place is big so small picture on the walls would real-lii gel. There is evidence of what this building was used for in by-gone years can be seen with the big “Block & Tackle with the big hook” dangling from the ceiling (nice display). The manager on duty welcomed us cordial-ii and handed us over to our waiter who escorted us to our window seating, then handed us three sets of menus an Ale cart, Specials and a Two/Three course set menu which offers a choice of 7 starters, 5 main-meals and 4 desserts. We went with the 3 course @ R245.00 pp: - FIRST-COURSE were 1. TUNA CRUNCH (8Tuna tempura, cream-cheese, tempura battered, QP mayo, sweet chilli reduction 2. CRISPY CALAMARI spiced-fried baby calamari, crispy pickled mix-veg, spicy peanut dressing 3. BEEF CARPACCIO Sundried tomato, parmesan, balsamic reduction. All were On-Point and scrumptious. Because we decided on Fish & Meats we got a bottle of D’Aria “Blash-Rose’” fruit-ii and not too dry! SECOND-COURSE were 1. MISO LINEFISH Roasted veg, tomato salsa 2 & 3. FILLETS Roasted baby potatoes, peri-peri reduction, crispy-pickled onions. The fish with Miso was good, taste-tii but a bit dry but the steaks were of the finest cuts and succulent and prepared perfect-lii as ordered. THIRD-COURSE were 1. White Chocolate Beignet (very Yummii and sweet2. Coco-Mango Balls (this dessert was quaint in a nice-way but intriguing-lii fascinating, it tickled the taste-buds the juice was mint-ii but not sweet and the choc-filled balls (not sure if it was a chow-pow filled with chocolatedarn-good stuff we will come back here if it’s only for the Coco-Mango Balls! 3. Vanilla Creme Brulee very cream-ii and the burnt-sugar crust was not a solid-block just nice and thin, easy to break-through! Our whole experience here was great the staff was friend-lii even if they were not serving your table they smiled and acknowledged you and the duty-manager even made a point of coming around to small-talk. We will definitely come back here in the future……………………..

The seafood platter is really good. The restaurant is trendy with a great layout and nice finishes. I thought the service was a bit slow and the food didn’t come out all together for everyone. We noticed one item never came out at all and the waiter said they were out of stock. Not sure why they didn’t mention this earlier. The food was very good.

Pretty good restaurant, the food was nice, I had a Tuna steak which was cooked well but not seasoned very well. It came with wasabi mayo which I asked for without but they couldnt provide and alternative seasoning options therefore I requested a slice of lemon which bought the while thing to life!

I go to Cape Town twice a year for business and have been visiting this place for six years in a row now. It s one of the liveliest restaurants you can find at that part of the city. Attitude of the service team is always positive and the food never disappointed me.Seafood is one of freshest I had so far.

Beluga has excellent, fresh Sushi. I would recommend their beef carpaccio for starters.Expect slow service during the day. The venue is in an industrial complex and lacks the views you usually find in Cape Town restaurants.

Beluga is famous for its sushi plates which is why I visited the restaurant in the first place. I really was not disappointed! The sushi was filling and scrumptious! The wine had a fine dry and sweet taste which sat well on my taste buds.The ambience and service was amazing. We arrived at night and decuded to sit outside and since it was a bit chilly we were offered red warm blankets and mobile fire heaters were placed around our table. This showed how caring the staff was. The waitress assisted me picking the best wine which was the cherry on top!I loved it and I will be returning very soon!

I visited for a Sunday afternoon snack. A lovely live band way playing which was a great treat. I enjoyed their dim sum, wantons and salmon sashimi and sullied on a virgin strawberry daiquiri. I love that their sushi is always fresh and the dim sum never dissapoints. The staff is friendly and efficient. We didnt stay long as we sat outside and it was freezing. I cant wait to visit again in the summer for oysters and bubbly. My partner had a Springbok and fries. Done medium rare, it was delicious with a beetroot puree. Overall the restaurant has a relaxed and cool vibe.

This is by far the best sushi experience we have had. From the reservations to arriving at the door to being seated. Such a 5 star experience. We have been coming here since 2012 and even though ownership has changed, the vibe is pretty much the same. The sushi specials are really a bargain and a must for those people interested. The Virgin strawberry daiquiri was amazing. Wish they still had the Virgin ping colada on the menu. This was definitely great. The bowl of jelly beans with your bill is really great. Love the little things. Love it and hope to be back for more again.

Really cosy, can be romantic and nice dinner options. Sushi is almost half price on Sundays. Halaal friendly. Tend to go for Tempura California rolls and anything of the prawn variety. You can also give the prawn dim sum a try, although abit bland.

One of Cape Towns better locations, yet food remains sort of OK...Tip to Sushi chef: When the tuna in your sushis colour vary from a deep red (read fresh), to a purple grey, then it tastes like something "purple grey".PS: the De Grendel rosé was crisp and refreshing and a perfect lover on a stunning autumn day.

The vegan options abound! The Tofu Crunch is R50 for 8 pieces and well worth going for just by itself.Amazing location in an old foundry where some of the original interior has been retained. Comfortable seating and nice low lighting. Entering on the red carpet is a nice touch. You will feel like a celebrity. Dont forget to take a spoon of jelly beans on your way out :)

I had a chicken breast and crushed potato but was slightly underwhelmed. Apparently its more renowned for its sushi and dim sum so Ill try those next time but its in a picturesque European-feel little corner with beautiful furnishings so its worth a visit, especially if youre trying to get away from the busier restaurants. The service is also quite impressive.

Very nice afternoon tea/champagne spent at the Beluga. I like how posh and relaxed the atmosphere was at the same time. The servers were all really nice, elegant and dynamic, I felt genuinely welcomed. The sushi and tempura were fresh, good and the cocktails are totally worth it, especially on fridays where they offer cocktails/sushi happy hour sets. The terrace is nice and equipped with fans when it’s too hot. The inside of the building is really spacious and beautifully decorated as well. Special thanks to Samuel for never missing out an occasion to ensure me and my friend weren’t lacking of anything. Well done, I will certainly be back :)

A very pricey restaurant, food is good and staff are very friendly. The menu has a good a variety to choose from. A meal for two with starters will set you back anything from 500 - 700 rand. However as a once in a while its worth it.
