Discover GALJOEN: A Premier Seafood Restaurant in Cape Town
This new restaurant in Cape Town is an ethically harvested seafood restaurant that has become synonymous with exceptional shoreline dining. Located in the historic District Six of Cape Town, GALJOEN offers a unique dining experience with its new multi-course winter lunch menu, designed to highlight the best of South African seafood.
A Celebration of Ethical Seafood Dining
Opened last year, GALJOEN quickly established itself as a leading seafood restaurant in Cape Town, committed to sustainable and ethical dining practices. The restaurant, spearheaded by chef patrons Neil Swart and Anouchka Horn, alongside head chef Isca Stoltz, sources all its seafood from local, sustainable fisheries. This ensures not only the highest quality but also supports the preservation of South Africa’s marine biodiversity.
“At Galjoen, we're passionate about showcasing the incredible diversity of South African seafood and use the opportunity to also highlight the critical importance of responsible dining practices,” says Anouchka Horn. This commitment to sustainability is echoed by Swart, who asserts, “if it’s not ethically sourced from South African shores, you won’t find it on the menu.”
Embracing the Cape of Storms with a Winter Lunch Menu
GALJOEN’s winter lunch menu, available for R550 per person, is a culinary journey that celebrates the seasonal bounty of the Cape of Storms. Drawing inspiration from childhood memories of gathering shellfish in Mozambique, Chef Stoltz has curated a menu that emphasizes the natural flavors of the freshest seafood. Each dish is a testament to the quality and variety of produce sourced from South Africa's coastline.
The winter menu is not fixed, allowing Chef Stoltz the flexibility to craft dishes based on the day’s freshest catch and seasonal ingredients. This approach not only ensures a unique dining experience each visit but also highlights the restaurant's dedication to sustainability and quality.
Unmatched Dining Experience at GALJOEN
GALJOEN is not just about the food; it’s about the entire dining experience. From the moment you step into the restaurant located at 99 Harrington Street in Cape Town’s historic CBD, you are immersed in a warm, inviting atmosphere. The restaurant’s commitment to sustainability extends to its partnerships with local fishers and suppliers who prioritize ethical fishing practices.
Whether you’re indulging in the winter lunch menu or the signature dinner menu priced at R850 per person, you are guaranteed a meal that prioritizes the essence of fresh, local ingredients.
An Exclusive Winter Offering
For a limited time, until 31 August 2024, GALJOEN’s winter lunch menu is available from Thursday to Saturday at 12:30 pm.
