Galjoen – Sustainable South African Seafood in Cape Town
Located at 99 Harrington Street in Cape Town’s District Six, Galjoen is a premier seafood restaurant dedicated to showcasing the rich diversity of South Africa’s marine offerings through a thoughtfully curated tasting menu.
Galjoen’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its strict sourcing policy: only responsibly caught, local seafood makes it to the plate. If it’s not from South African waters, it doesn’t feature on the menu. This approach supports local fishing communities and ensures that diners experience the freshest seasonal fare.
Under the guidance of Chef Isca Stoltz, Galjoen offers a dynamic tasting menu that evolves monthly, reflecting the availability of seasonal seafood. Diners can expect innovative dishes that highlight the natural flavors of the ocean, prepared with a focus on minimizing waste and utilizing every part of the ingredient.
The restaurant’s semi-industrial design evokes a subtle maritime atmosphere, reminiscent of harbor settings with a touch of retro charm. Please note that the building is not wheelchair accessible; however, Galjoen’s sister restaurant, Belly of the Beast, offers accessible dining options.
