New Festive Season Menu

Special New Year’s Eve Dinner

Welcome to a Theatre of Fine Food and Wine with the Largest Wine-by-the-Glass Bar in the World. Follow the romantic lamps on the water’s edge at the V&A Waterfront to a terrace with dreamy views of Table Bay and Table Mountain, and to the rich ambience of a wharf warehouse offering a meat and seafood extravaganza and the largest wine-by-the-glass bar in the world. This is Belthazar, a Theatre of Fine Food and Wine, with a beautiful new all weather terrace enclosure and Awards of Excellence from both TripAdvisor and Wine Spectator.

Perfect location with new all-weather dining enclosure on the terrace and panoramic views

Belthazar’s spectacular new all-weather dining enclosure on the terrace was launched in October. It is equipped with a mist cooling system and heaters and offers panoramic views of the Waterfront and Table Mountain.

   

“Always World Class”, “Food, wine, service, WOW!”, “And WOW... What a view!”, “Enormous and utterly fantastic range of wines”, “Belthazar is a Must”, “Hats off to you guys at Belthazar”, are just some of the many glowing TripAdvisor reviews over the past year that earned Belthazar a TripAdvisor 2016 Certificate of Excellence,  a coveted seal of approval for its consistent delivery of excellence and quality customer experience. 

And, Belthazar has once again been honoured for its outstanding dedication to wine, in Wine Spectator’s 2016 Restaurant Wine List Awards. Having received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for its superior wine list annually since 2012, this year Belthazar was presented with an even more prestigious award – the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence – awarded to a select group of 1,093 world-class restaurants globally. “These wine lists display excellent breadth across multiple winegrowing regions and/or significant vertical depth of top producers, along with superior presentation. Typically offering 350 or more selections, these restaurants are destinations for serious wine lovers, showing a deep commitment to wine, both in the cellar and through their service team”, said Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher of Wine Spectator.

    

The Meat Experience at Belthazar

Belthazar’s in-house Master Butcher ensures that the grain-fed Karan beef is hung on the carcass for three days, and then the Fillet, Sirloin, Rump and Rib-Eye are ‘wet-aged’, while the T-Bone, Chicago Cuts, Fillet on the Bone and Sirloin on the Bone are ‘dry-aged’ for a minimum of 28 days. In addition Belthazar serves Australian-Tasmanian superior grass-fed marbled beef air-freighted from Cape Grim in the far north-west corner of Tasmania. Shaped by wild Southern Ocean swells, abundant rainfall and the cleanest air in the world, Cape Grim is the perfect place to grow superior beef. Belthazar’s extensive Game Menu includes Ostrich, Crocodile, Springbok, Kudu, Impala, Wildebeest, Blesbok, Gemsbok and Eland.

      

Belthazar Seafood Extravaganza

Belthazar imports all its prawns and langoustines from Mozambique and only serves the freshest linefish available. For a real extravaganza, what could get better than Belthazar’s Royal Seafood Platter for Two, including a whole crayfish, two large langoustines, six medium langoustines, two tiger giant prawns, 2 tiger medium prawns, two king prawns and four queen prawns – perfectly prepared and served with lemon butter, garlic butter and per-peri sauce.

   

Belthazar’s festive season menu includes a variety of new dishes, some of which are:

·         Goulash Soup - traditional rich beef soup

·         Mediterranean Salad - a mixed chopped salad with peppadews and olives

·         Tabbouleh Salad - traditional Lebanese salad made with finely chopped parsley and mint, tomatoes, onions, bulgar wheat and lemon

·         Prawn Curry - 8 queen prawns in a traditional Northern Indian spicy tomato, cashew nut and cream sauce served with basmati rice

The Wine Wonder at Belthazar
