Launched last year, Cape Town’s signature ethically harvested seafood restaurant GALJOEN, has introduced a multi-course winter lunch menu, offering exceptional value at only R550 per person.
Situated in historic District Six, GALJOEN fast became synonymous with South African shoreline dining, showcasing the finest sustainably caught seafood found along the Cape coast.
Galjoen are passionate about showcasing the incredible diversity of South African seafood and use the opportunity to also highlight the critical importance of responsible dining practices. It’s a clear cut philosophy of, “if it’s not ethically sourced from South African shores, you won’t find it on the menu“, further comments, Neil Swart of Galjoen.
I was invited to try out the winter lunch menu that reflects the changing season and the bounty of the sea. In every dish, the primary emphasis is on the ingredients. The menu is not restricted to a specific number of courses. It’s all about what’s available from local fishers and merchants and what inspires Chef Stoltz.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT:
Whilst Belly of the Beast takes a brief slumber during the month of July when the six-year old restaurant receives a well-deserved kitchen and interior shake-up, GALJOEN will be offering a surf-and-turf’esque menu that incorporates BotB’s cuisine into a menu that showcases both fish and meats.
GALJOEN is located in Cape Town’s historic CBD at 99 Harrington Street. Please reserve your table online via www.galjoencpt.co.za.
