With sweeping views of Camps Bay beach and the Atlantic Ocean, a sexy Californian atmosphere and outstanding cuisine, Blues Restaurant has been a Cape Town favourite for more than 15 years.
Recently refurbished, it blends even more beautifully into its spectacular environment and has reaffirmed itself as one of Cape Town's ultimate dining experiences. Refurbishments include a new wine cellar featuring a large dining table for up to 12 people, ideal for private dinners and wine tastings and a glass-enclosed smoking section, seating up to 32 people, that guarantees The View.
The menu has kept a careful balance between old and new, but has stuck to the Blues basics of simplicity, authenticity and freshness. The summer menu hints to Asian inspiration with items such as Thai Style Calamari Salad on crunchy oriental greens and Pan Seared Ostrich Teriyaki with a smear of wasabi and drizzled with sake and soya.
Visit Blues and experience the true essence of Cape Town - fun, relaxed, trendy and upbeat..
