Local tasting menu
Chef's Anouchka Horn and Neil Swart. We offer a tasting menu for lunch and dinner in our 30 seater restaurant. There are no menu options or set amount of courses. All you do is show up and trust us to satisfy with our seasonal fare. We source from local sustainable producers and use every part of the animal. You can expect some dishes that might test your boundaries, but we always balance our menu so that everyone will enjoy the experience. The 30 seats make for a very personal dining experience, as we do everything from cooking to serving our food. Belly of the beast works on online reservations only and we require a deposit to confirm the booking. Lunch: 12:30pm Tuesday to Saturday Dinner: 18:45 Monday to Saturday Terms and conditions: Arrival time: Lunch starts at 12:30. Dinner starts at 18:45. We serve all tables together so please be on time. Being late may result in missing out on the courses already served.

First time doing the lunch menu and I actually thinks it makes for a better experience overall. There was just enough food and the daylight factor makes the usually dark and mystical BotB experience and entirely different lighter and airier experience. Service and the food itself was incredible as always and I’ll definitely be back.
