Beluga Restaurant

Beluga, located at the Cape Town Cruise Terminal in the V&A Waterfront, is renowned for its modern Euro-Asian fusion cuisine. The restaurant’s distinctive Art Deco, New York loft-style setting, complete with an open-plan kitchen, sushi section, and designer bar, creates a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere.

Beluga’s menu offers a variety of dishes that cater to diverse tastes, including sushi, dim sum, and seafood. Signature items include their sushi platters, calamari, and the popular chocolate beignets. The restaurant also offers vegan and vegetarian options, ensuring that all dietary preferences are accommodated.

In addition to its exquisite menu, Beluga hosts various specials and events. Their Thirsty Thursday special features a 1.5-liter pitcher of any draught beer for R110 or 2-for-1 cocktail jugs. On Fridays, they offer a 2-for-1 Boschendal bubbly special. The weekends are lively with a fresh band playing, adding to the vibrant ambiance. Beluga also recently launched a whisky lounge, offering a myriad of whiskies from unique locations, with diverse flavor profiles.

Beluga has been a staple in Cape Town’s dining scene since it opened in 2000. It has consistently evolved, introducing new menu items and hosting yearly launch events. The restaurant is also Halaal-friendly, meaning it does not serve pork and does not cook with alcohol, making it accessible to a wider range of diners.
