About Us

“We cannot wait to reopen our doors in this stunning new location and welcome everyone back,” says the Beluga Team. “COVID-19 affected so many businesses and we are proud to see Beluga make its comeback just in time for summer in the Mother City. This is an exciting time for Beluga, and we promise to deliver the food and experience our patrons have grown to love.”
Guests can look forward to enjoying the vibrant views of the Cape Town Cruise Terminal harbour from our new balcony. Our new Waterfront restaurant will include 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 will be returning, so rest assured we have something for everyone. Whether you’re seeking the romantic restaurant experience or craving some of the best sushi Cape Town has to offer, Beluga’s new location promises all the old favourites but with exciting new additions and even better vibes.

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 was under new ownership – they pushed the restaurant to the next level with yearly launch events and exciting menu changes like adding amazing vegan options, fresh seafood platters and highlighted the phenomenal wines South Africa has to offer.

Beluga was all set to host it’s 20 year launch event in November 2020, sadly, like so many restaurants in South Africa, it closed its doors in 2020 due to COVID-19 and trading restrictions from the government.

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!
