Wine, wine everywhere, tempting wine-lovers with the largest wine bar in the world. Welcome to Belthazar, a veritable theatre of fine food and wine on the cutting-edge of “shoppertainment”. A multi-purpose restaurant, grill, wine bar and gourmet home accessory shop, Belthazar brings a chic new concept in the culinary arts to Cape Town.

Dedicated to the wise man of the magi who was “lord of treasures”, a treasure trove of delights awaits foodies at Belthazar – along with an exclusive catalogue of kitchenware. (We might spell his name a little differently but we like to do things a little differently with a lot of style.)

Owners of award-winning Balducci, a landmark for contemporary dining at the Cape, travelled the world with their team to find an innovative formula which would showcase South African wine in a prime tourist location at the V&A Waterfront. Follow the romantic lamps to a terrace with dreamy views of Table Bay and the rich ambience of a wharf warehouse with thousands of bottles of wine, a glittering store of Riedel glassware, wine aprons, corkscrews, cookbooks and exclusive gourmet knives.

    We were promised that the ribs would be ‘falling off the bone’. We had ordered both the beef and pork ribs and both were very tough and certainly not falling off the bone. When we raised this with the manager he just blamed the supplier. That is not management, that is abdication and it baffles me how that manager attained his position. Would never recommend or go there again

    Delicious meal! Our ribeye steak was cooked perfectly and very tasty! Large selection of wine (too many to choose) and our waiter John was so incredibly engaging. A great last evening in Capetown!

    Really noisy venue. Ordered the large game kebab medium. Waiter recommended medium rare but we couldn’t eat most of it because it was much too rare for our taste. We’d ordered a porterhouse steak too and at least 1/3 or if was fat/gristle. The bill was brought without deduction of the 1000 rand deposit paid. Disappointing!

    This is one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten in my life. I love the tables and lighting outside, food was incredible, and so were the drinks. Definitely more pricey than other places in Cape Town but it’s worth it

    The food was below par. The seafood platter we ordered was underwhelming. Service was not good.
