Balthazar Restaurant

I did request this restaurant to complete a review on Ciao and spelt it wrong!! It is actually BELTAZAR RESTAURANT and won Best Steakhouse in Cape Town last year in 2004 and believe me there are a lot to choose from. Beltazae is the largest wine bar in the World and the glasses are one of the largest I have ever experienced when eating out and with a wine to suit everyone's taste this is the perfect place to eat out in Cape Town if you are visiting ...
...for lunch and once for an evening meal and both times we were completely stuffed! The same menu is used throughout the day and consists of Starters, Salads, Grills, House Specialities, Poultry, Seafood and Desserts. On the first visit we sat outside with underneath a parasol and with a heater as the weather was not the hottest but it was still a plesant day to sit out.

The location is really good, a large shopping mall with various shops (Diesel, Miss Sixty, Pick and Pay, Chemist, BodyShop etc).

I went for dinner with a colleague. The place is nice, but there is a problem if you want to seat inside... It smell too much the food ! It's a bit digusting. If you stay outside, there is problem. The service is good. But for the price... i think this is very expensive. If you order a Sirloin with chips, you have that in your platte. No more, no decoration, nothing. Their is a large choice of wine, but so... expensive ! The place is nice but be carreful of the quality and prices !
