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.

Beautiful place with stunning views but the service was pathetic. We went for a birthday dinner. Drinks were great. We waited over an hour for our food after several complaints to the manager, who kept on avoiding us and not communicating why we were waiting that long for our food. Finally we received cold, bland, under and overcooked food. Most of our meals were sent back and the food was not great. We were then told to order sushi as it will be quicker to prepare. We were also not the only table that sent back food and complained. I would not recommend anyone to go there.

Last minute decision to go to Beluga for dinner in CBD after Decorex yesterday. Decided to visit Beluga despite some mixed reviews I have seen online. I want to keep this brief so here it goes in point form… 1. Restaurant looks really good and the view out on the harbour is cool 2. Service was excellent from all staff 3. Opted for the 3 course set menu. I had chicken livers as a starter which was delicious. 200g fillet for main which was perfectly cooked and orange cake for dessert which had an intense orange flavour which I loved. 4. Cocktails are very well priced and pack a punch. 5. They have a whisky and cigar lounge which is well stocked with over 130 whiskies as well as whisky lockers. As a whisky lover and collector I love this. 6. Every Saturday they have a different wine farm presenting their wines and you are able to purchase them at a small markup (will be going for this at some point) 7. One of the managers asked if we were celebrating anything special to which we replied yes and she did a small gesture which just added the cherry on top. Really great experience which I appreciate.

The food was absolutely incredible, while I thoroughly enjoyed the white chocolate beignets, it was the Norwegian Salmon that stole the show. I would have given a 5/5 rating, however we had made a reservation for outdoor seating and while this was brought to the attention of the hostess, nothing was done to remedy the situation and we were left feeling ignored.

Went twice to this place when it was happy hour so you could get sushi for half the price. We loved the creative selection and the staff was helpful. The food was delicious and was delivered quickly. All in all a very good sushi experience.

The food is delicious and the service was great. The waitress was very attentive and there wasn't a large delay in between meals. The restaurant itself looks beautiful on the inside and outside. The toilet facilities are quite clean too. I had a wonderful evening with my friends here.

Really great food and atmosphere. Went over the weekend and was a bit loud to have a conversation, around 85 to 90dB and it peaked just over 90dB later in the night. So potentially one should figure out if there is a live band if you want to have a chat. The live band was great. Service is rapid and staff was friendly. Highly recommend. Food isn’t exactly cheap, but that’s expected. At night the drive towards the entrance could seem confusing, from the outside it appears as though it’s the wrong place, but just follow Google maps. The parking itself is well lit. It’s a paid parking using a card and ticket machine.

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 :)

Happy to see that Beluga is back in business as it has always been one of my favourite restaurants in Cape Town. From their Sushi specials and dim sums to their hot mains, desserts and cocktails - I love it all. Sushi has always been fresh and tasty regardless if it's from their specials menu or ordinary menu. Nice vibe, great service and affordable prices. Definitely recommend.

The food was great. We got the dumplings, potstickers and snow crab sushi roll. The snow crab roll was by far My favorite thing. Everything else was pretty good. Service was decent but not amazing.

Different by design, is the best jwewllrey in cape town .

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.

Absolutely beautiful the view the service the atmosphere and just everything about Beluga is amazing the Shusi is Amazing the Steak is amazing the Fish is amazing and most of all their drinks is also amazing 👏. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Our waiter was amazing he was so professional #loveit

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.

Great location with scenic view of the harbor. Nothing exceptional about the sushi. Service Very mediocre. Won't be rushing back

Honestly one of the best experiences we've had EVER the food was out of tie world and our waiter was the sweetest person ever. We will definitely be back.

Their new premises are much better than the old site from many points of view & although we only had some cocktails & sushi the food was great & the service outstanding!! We will be back!!

Amazing place to eat.

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 didn't stay long as we sat outside and it was freezing. I can't 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.

A few teething issues that they have to solve. The level of service did not feel like the old venue - usually stealthy, swift and seamless. Our balcony table booked 24 hours earlier was not arranged. We were initially offered an inside table. I pointed out the error and then had to wait for the table to be prepared, i.e. could just as well have not booked. Bringing out a large industrial stepladder during service to close weather blinds is a no-no. Our waiter, Jason, was attentive and paid us sufficient attention. It was my wife's birthday and the 'veg' she had ordered as a side option ended up being a bowl of red, green and yellow peppers - so no actual veg (peppers are fruit 🤷🏾‍♂️). The hostess picked up on this issue after my wife commented about it to Jason. She did come to speak to us about it and agreed that it should never have left the kitchen devoid of veg. She offered an alternative side, but we were done with our mains, plates cleared, so a side on its own did not make sense. My wife obviously declined the offer and no recompense reflected on the bill. No doubt an upmarket venue which is worth the visit, but there are issues to be ironed out. Happy to give some advice, Beluga...

Nice atmosphere

Meh.

(Translated by Google) The best restaurant I have eaten so far (Original) De beste restaurant waar ik tot nu heb gegeten

What a great place and atmosphere! Beautiful outdoor seating in an enclosed courtyard. Casual yet elegant dining. The food was great, got to taste the springbok and ostrich burger which was very big and pretty good. The chips were amazing too. Finished off with the creme brulee, best I've had on a long time. We had a great evening, our waiter was always there to make sure we were happy.

(Translated by Google) very good (Original) sehr gut

Food reasonably priced. The waiter was very attentive. Unfortunately the food was below satisfactory.. sushi was tasteless and rice was crumbling. Overall the ambiance was great and the place was very busy. I’m not sure if I would return based on the food given to us today.

Every time I go to Beluga, I have a wonderful experience. The staff are friendly, kind and attentive, the view is stunning, they give you blankets when it is cold, and they have a great selection of wines and other beverages. Wide variety of decadent cocktails - the Kir Royale is my personal favourite. And the fooood :D Such attention to detail in every meal, and there are delicious vegan options for the mains (ramen bowls, poke bowls, burgers and more), starters (incl mushroom gnocchi), dim sum, sushi (highly recommend the tofu crunch), and dessert (vegan dom pedro was to die for). Well-priced, especially with the specials on sushi and dim sum ☆☆☆☆☆

Really, i like all the dishes 😋 starter salad, the main, and dessert. For sure, i will visit it again.

Loved it! The service and food is always excellent!

It was an overall good experience. Food and service were great. The new premise and location takes some getting used to compared to their previous location. The seafood offering was a standout. The restaurant empties out rather earlier than expected.. at 11pm we were the last table still at the restaurant and the staff made us feel it was time to call it a night. But other than that, Samuel was excellent and attended to all our requirements comfortably. We will be back.

Haven't been there since they moved, so I decided to go there on Valentine's Day. The food was as good as I remembered and the atmosphere amazing . Will definitely return.

It's always been my fave restaurant in Cape Town , now the new venue takes it to greater heights. Exceptional service , wonderful food and great views of the Harbour. Absolutely loved every minute of it

Had an absolute blast with some colleagues. Amazing atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. The waiter's recommendations were incredible. Good portions with great presentation. Would definitely recommend the Sesame Crusted Tuna steak.

A lovely venue, sophisticated restaurant, excellent service from Faith, eclectic menu ..... Sadly, they had no sirloin steak even though it was on the menu. Opted for salmon, which was delcious. Food presentation creative. Unfortunately, and out of the control of the restaurateur, they were loading a ship (not a cruise liner) that caused a lot of noise from the engine's droning. I will definitely return, and yes, I do recommend a visit. However, if you want a quiet meal, enquire if any ships are being loaded before visiting. Definitely my new favourite restaurant for sushi. Give it a try.

This is the best restaurant in Cape Town I've tried so far. The African venison was very fresh, and cooked to perfection. The oysters were fresh, and tasty as well. If you come from Europe, or the US, this upscale restaurant will be a bargain.

The old Beluga was my absolute favorite place to have sushi and cocktails for many, many years. Unfortunately, I don't quite feel that the new Beluga had the same standard of quality sushi or service as the old one. The sushi we had was good, but it wasn't anything I'd rave about. I also miss the old Beluga sushi plates / platters, which aren't presented on the new menus. We went for lunch in the week, and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, but our waitress seemed distracted, and we didn't feel she was attentive. I do like the venue though, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. I will be back to try again.

We had a staff lunch at Beluga yesterday. Not gonna lie, got a but lost trying to find the place. Buuuuut, once you know, you know. The restaurant looks top class, definitely a great spot for a variety of events. The view out over the ocean is relaxing or terrifying depending on how you feel about the water. The staff are super friendly and helpful, good service is hard to come by these days, always enjoyable to experience it. The food tastes great. I only had a couple of issues. My steak was over done by quite a bit. But I was starving so I ate it anyway, could NOT wait for another one without getting hangry. If you aren't a steak person this won't bother you... But I am 🥲 Aaaaaand I think they forgot about my dessert order. I ordered the Creme Brulee and had to ask about it after everyone was almost done with their desserts. It was decent. Flavour good, but the texture was powdery. I'm still on the hunt for a fantastic Creme Brulee since my favourite place to get them closed... Years ago. Overall it was a great experience. Would definitely go again.

Wow!👌 thank you, Beluga. We had our year-end function yesterday with you guys, and what an amazing experience. Firstly, thank you to our amazing waiter, Tony, for making sure everything was always filled and the spectacular service and for going the exta mile in helping me get something special I ordered. Then i also want to say thank you to Jarod, the manager, as your meticulous care did not go unnoticed. As soon as i was just waiting or standing somewhere waiting even if it was just for a few seconds Jarod was there to hear if there is anything that he could assist me with, even if i was just waiting for a colleague. He has such a nice nature and is fantastic in his job. I also want to thank the 2 beautiful hostesses Tracy and Samantha for greeting and seeing us with great smiles and assistance. Last but not least, thank you, tie the amazing chefs for the food it was out of this world!!!! Beluga, you can be proud. 👏 Keep it up!!! And we will see you on Chrismans cannot wait to see what is in store for us!!!!!!

Been a while since I went to Beluga since they moved to the new location, overlooking the port. I was surprised to find that the food was just as good as before the move. The sushi special is 50% off from 16:00 - 18:00, however was told that platters are only R100 off the original price after the order was placed. The sashimi was really good. The chocolate beignets were amazing as usual, but I miss the jug of butterscotch caramel as the drizzle on the plate is not to balance out the white chocolate.

It's literally the best steak I've ever had ! It melted in my mouth, absolutely devine🤤👌 we had a 3 course meal, the starters were amazing and the deserts were to die for. Beluga is a must visit and definitely worth every penny. The atmosphere is amazing with live music and wine tasting on Saturdays. They have the best cocktails and an endless list of whiskeys and rums. This is definitely one of Capetowns TOP restaurants.

Beluga is a very nice restaurant. The service is impeccable, and the food is absolutely divine. I only have one complaint: the music was so incredibly loud that it made conversation very difficult. We were a big group of 10 at a large table, which already made talking difficult, and we had to shout to be heard above the music. I just feel it's not necessary for it to be so loud that diners can't hold a conversation. Otherwise very satisfied with everything else.

Loved the food and vibe..music experience..👍👍

Great selection of food with a good setup for decent conversations with the people at the table.

EXCELLENT fresh Sushi

Top 👍👍👍

Best sushi !

Bad energy from management

Great fine dining. Sushi is really good, so are the cocktails. Check for their specials.

Great value sushi and dim sum. It's not the best the city has but it is definitely still worth a visit. One of my fave lunch spots

Atmosphere and food nice but service a bit slow at times...Also waiter expected a 10% tip which caught us by surprise

UPDATE: They are closed. Such sad news. Hope they are able to reopen one day. BEFORE COVID: Lovely outdoor area, great vibe with live music and fantastic food. We had the seafood platter for 2, it was delicious.

....………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 (8) Tuna 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 sweet) 2. 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 chocolate) darn-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……………………..

We arrived at 5h45pm and sushi was at half price till 6pm. So we ordered our sushi for the evening which was amazing. Perfect amount of rice to salmon/tuna. The dumplings we ordered was full of meat and enjoyable. Service was great and efficient. Food fresh and delicious and very colorful. Are we returning YES. my advise malena booking . Being a Monday evening we thought the place would be empty but was Full.

Beautiful restaurant with a modern warehouse vibe. Extensive menu, including a variety of seafood dishes, sushi as well as Asian fusion and the typical meat options. Fantastic lunch time specials on cocktails and sushi, as well as a plethora of drink specials to suit all tastes. Highly recomendable!

No answer on phone line for 2 days now. Very disappointing.

What a nice venue and what a large and varied menu to choose from. The food was exquisite and we were served with a smile... Such a plesant experience

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!

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.

Amazing service food delicious love! love !love

Pricey but food is worth every penny. Good wine and sushi. You cannot go wrong with this choice to take your partner out for the evening. Service is also very good. Friendly smiles and responsive waiters and waitresses.

The food was so great and half price sushi makes the food so affordable

Employees are waiting and ignoring you, food is overpriced versus other places, service very slow. Location is nice, ambiance look good, but our experience was horrible.

(Translated by Google) Every time right on arrival Beluga, sit outside and enjoy the sun, warmth and great sushi !!! (Original) Jedesmal direkt am Ankunftstag Beluga, draussen sitzen und freuen über Sonne, Wärme und tolles Sushi!!!

Amazing sushi!

Lovely setting, great sushi

Cosmopolitan ! Excellent food.

I absolutely loved this place. It was hidden in one of the back roads of Cape Town but was such a gem of a find. The food was wonderful and so were the staff. So friendly and organized. I also noticed that it is the perfect place for taking photos. The dress code was a bit more on the relaxed side. Casual but classy.

We visited on valentines day at 930pm. We were unaware that the menu was shortened to only include 3 turf options which was annoying for myself as I'm not a big seafood fan. The next problem I encountered was that the only steak on the menu was only 300g. I'm a large man and this wasn't quite enough. I could have dismissed all of this if it wasn't for the slow service. The section we were in was barely half full yet we waited 10 minutes for our order to be taken and another 5 minutes for the waitress to be reminded we needed water. Which she grabbed from a nearby empty table, go figure. Also the 3c's desert wasn't what I expected. The coffee, cognac and cake were all separate. I thought it was baked together. Maybe they are good other nights but not tonight.

Very trendy vibe

Good food. Service a bit slow. Our waitress had too many tables to serve. Empty parking courtyard next to resturant outside area, not allowed to park there, despite the lack of parking in surrounding area

Very good food at not over the top prices, personally I love the dim sum menu with all the dumplings etc

Delicious, Excellent service

Wow! Went with the ostrich on a whim and it was one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. The service was top notch and the outside patio made for an amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Great food and great value!!

Didn't stay for a meal... Staff was frkendly
