It’s a tough decision whether to sing praises about their incredible selection of wines or their mouthwatering steaks. When you walk in, you can’t help but be impressed by the sight of the warehouse-style shelves filled with an impressive collection of wine boxes, each bearing an iconic name.

But it’s not just the wine that impresses. The whole experience exudes elegance, from the crisp white tablecloths to the exquisite Riedel stemware that beautifully showcases every wine. The staff, dressed immaculately in their white jackets and bow ties, provide exceptional service and are well-informed about all things culinary. And let’s not forget the breathtaking views of the harbor and Table Mountain that you can enjoy while dining on the terrace – it’s truly an experience you won’t find anywhere else.

The Fantastic Wine Selection

So let’s start with the wine. Belthazar, created by owner Ian Halfon, has an incredible selection of wines from the Cape. It’s a unique place, where you can try up to 250 different wines by the glass. In fact, it may be the only place in the world with such an extensive selection. And if that wasn’t enough, they have a total of 400 wines on their list, including rare vintages that are carefully stored in a temperature-controlled room. With sommeliers who have years of experience, the best tap-wine-dispensing technology, and beautiful glasses to drink from, Belthazar is a paradise for wine lovers.

The Best of Both Worlds: Steak and Seafood

The menu here is straightforward yet splendid: delicious food crafted to enhance the flavors of the wines. The star of the show is the steak, and you’ll be spoiled for choice with the wide array of top-quality cuts available. From the grain-fed Karan beef to the exquisite Karoo wagyu and the grass-fed beef from the Natal Midlands, every option is a winner. If seafood is more your style, the grilled options are not to be missed. And for the adventurous, there’s even a selection of game steaks, featuring everything from crocodile to wildebeest. But a great meal is not complete without the perfect sides to complement the main course. The sautéed spinach and the fresh and well-balanced tomato salad stole the show on the evening we dined there.

A Blissful Indulgence

When it comes to desserts, the pastry chef at this restaurant has quite the creative repertoire. They whip up all the classics you love, like crème brûlée, malva pudding, and Philadelphia baked cheesecake. But if you’re feeling adventurous, they also offer a decadent Ferrero Rocher chocolate confection that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. And for those who prefer savory treats, they have a South African cheese board that pairs perfectly with a glass of wine.

The restaurant itself is all about sophistication and simplicity, making it the perfect setting for a special occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or just want to have a memorable meal, this place has you covered.
