Belly of the Beast

Cape Town, South Africa

Anouchka Horn, Neil Swart and their talented culinary team invite diners to come along and trust them – there are no menu options or multi-course tasters here, just a set menu that changes monthly, filled with what the chefs deem local and seasonal. Everyone is seated in the 30-cover restaurant at the same time – and served simultaneously. As the name would suggest, Belly of the Beast is carnivore-friendly, with all meat from sustainably farmed animals. They try to use every part of the animal and some dishes might test your boundaries - but the menu is balanced, with fish and vegetable options too. You could be eating anything from venison tartare with biltong guanciale; cured stumpnose fish; gemsbok (antelope) tataki; or braised beef heart with caramelised onion. The baked Alaska with feuilletine and hazelnut praline is knockout.
