What an incredible achievement! We could not be prouder of our teams.
Belly of the Beast received 2 Plates, while Galjoen and Seebamboes each received 1 Plate.
A huge congratulations to Chef Adel Hughes for receiving the WWF-SASSI Haute Green Philosophy Plate, and to the Belly Restaurant Group for receiving the Haute Pour Award for our philosophy of w**e.
We are blown away and incredibly grateful to our teams, producers, suppliers and everyone who is part of this journey. What a proud moment for all of us!

NO SHOW. COMING SOON.
No Show is our new relaxed neighbourhood restaurant where good food, good bread and good w**e take centre stage. No reservations, no set menus and no fuss. Just walk in, grab a table, order a drink and stay as long as you like.
The à la carte menu will feature a small collection of flavour-driven dishes, with the bread courses that have become a signature of The Belly Restaurant Group at its heart. Our blackboard will change regularly, featuring seasonal specials and dry-aged cuts from our walk-in ageing room, all centred around exceptional South African ingredients.
The name is a tongue-in-cheek nod to one of hospitality’s greatest frustrations. No reservations means no no-shows, but more importantly, no pressure.
Pop in for a b**r and a snack, share a bottle of w**e and a few plates, or settle in while you wait for a table at one of our neighbouring restaurants.
No bookings. Just show up.
And now we’re looking for someone to join the team. If you have FOH experience and think you’d be the right fit for No Show, apply via the link in our bio.
