Located at The Foundry Courtyard in Green Point, Bellagio brings together an extensive selection of seafood options for diners who enjoy their fish grilled, seared, battered or served with a little spice.
- Calamari fans have a particularly good reason to take a closer look. The Chargrilled calamari with ginger, chilli and lime offers a lively combination of flavours, while those after something more traditional can opt for Deep fried calamari served with home made tartar sauce or basil mayonnaise. There is also a garlic and herb version of the chargrilled calamari.
- Prawns feature prominently too. The Prawn Coriander, ginger and chilli stir fry brings a punchy combination to the table, while the Flame grilled prawns are available as 8 Queen or 5 King. For something a little more indulgent, the Grilled langoustines with lemon and garlic butter offer another seafood highlight.
- Those who prefer a good piece of fish have plenty of choice. The Grilled kingklip (240g) served with lemon butter keeps things classic, while the Thai style kingklip combines coconut cream, coriander, chilli and honey, served with stir fry vegetables. Salmon appears in several forms, including a Salmon Burger, Seared salmon (180g) served on a bed of asparagus new potatoes, roasted cherry tomatoes and salsa verde, and another seared salmon option marinated in chilli, ginger, honey, soya and orange. The Thai style salmon also pairs coconut cream, coriander, chilli and honey with stir fry vegetables.
- For those who enjoy a richer seafood dish, the Fish pie with white wine, herbs and a touch of cream is another option, although diners should allow 30 minutes for its preparation. Other familiar choices include Salmon and tarragon cakes, fish cakes served with home made tartar sauce, and Beer battered hake served with chips.
- The menu also makes room for tuna, with Seared pepper crusted Tuna (200g) with teriyaki offering a different flavour combination.
- For a little bit of everything, the Mixed seafood grill brings together prawns, kingklip, calamari and mussels, served with lemon garlic and peri-peri sauce. It is a particularly appealing choice for anyone who finds it difficult to settle on just one seafood favourite.
