Beluga 

While this is a favoured spot for very good sushi and dim sum, there’s a vast menu of other offerings from fish to fowl. Some knockouts are the duck liver crème brûlée with apple preserve, the tiger prawn penne with spicy Creole velouté, and spaghetti and meatballs with parmesan shavings. The white chocolate martini is a great, if unorthodox, way to end.

A very good, comprehensive list, complemented by some great beers.

Usually it’s good, but it can be erratic when the place is really busy.

A large space with some brick surfaces and an outdoor terrace, this venue is much loved by the models and ad execs from the area. It walks the line between trendiness and good food with ease.

Linger at the cocktail bar for some unusual creations from the talented barmen. (GL, October 2011)

My fiance took me for a romantic dinner last night at Beluga. We decided to try their new Summer menu that was suggested by the waiter.

We had a three course meal for R220 each which my choice was the oysters, the beef Wellington and a delicious chocolate truffle dessert.

It was great value for money and the choices are fabulous.

We will be back to try out some of the other great choices.

Beluga is one of those classic places that is an always safe fallback. We keep returning for drinks, family dinner, quick lunch or with visiting friends - and girls dinner out. There is always a nice vibe, the vast menu gives an endless list of choices, the bar is busy. One of our favourites is going to the bar for drinks and sushi before a night out. It is hard to beat the fantastic sushi platters! Great value and excellent sushi.
