“Where Sophistication Meets Fun!”
Guests can look forward to enjoying vibrant views of the Cape Town Cruise Terminal harbour from our balcony. Our restaurant includes a refined whisky bar, wine-tasting section, sushi conveyer belt, outdoor covered smokers section and private dining area. For our vegan patrons, Beluga’s famous vegan sushi is on offer, so rest assured we have something for everyone.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic restaurant experience or craving some of the best sushi Cape Town has to offer, Beluga promises all the old favourites, but with exciting new additions and an even better vibe.
Beluga opened its doors at The Foundry in Green Point in 2000, offering guests a Euro-Asian fusion menu in a cool but casual New York loft-style atmosphere. It was once voted as one of the top 60 restaurants in the world by Conde Nast Traveller and was known for its delectable sushi and post-meal jelly beans.
Fast forward to 2017 when the restaurant, under new ownership was pushed to the next level with yearly launch events and exciting menu changes.
Beluga was all set to host it’s 20 year launch event in November 2020 when sadly, like so many restaurants in South Africa, closed its doors.
But like a phoenix from the ashes, Beluga has risen again and we are honoured to be located in the new Cape Town Cruise Terminal of the V&A Waterfront. The location is something we’ve dreamt about and the words "from sea to table" have never meant more than they do now.
We look forward to seeing our loyal patrons again and we hope we do you all proud!
