Great food deserves great wine, and Blowfish Restaurant’s popular Wine & Dine Evenings continue to prove why they have become a favourite among Cape Town diners.
Each event introduces guests to a different wine estate, with a specially created menu designed to complement every pour from start to finish.
On Tuesday, 4 August 2026, Lourensford Wine Estate takes centre stage, bringing its acclaimed wines to an evening built around five carefully paired courses.
- Priced at R650 per person, the experience offers exceptional value for anyone looking to enjoy a thoughtfully curated night of food, wine and conversation.
The menu takes guests on a culinary journey across the globe, blending flavours and techniques from several cuisines while maintaining a seamless dining experience.
- The evening begins with an Italian-inspired amuse bouche of Aperol-poached melon, peppered ricotta and prosciutto before moving into a comforting smoked garlic and black bean soup served with charred sweetcorn flatbread.
- The third course introduces pastrami-style cured Atlantic salmon paired with mirin cucumber ribbons, rye croutons and grapefruit caviar, adding Japanese influences to the evening.
- For the main course, diners can look forward to balsamic and pineapple-marinated hanger steak, served with a ghee-poached green vegetable parcel, mini crisps and fragrant chermoula butter inspired by North African flavours.
- Dessert provides a fitting finale with a beautifully crafted salted caramel choux au craquelin, finished with pistachio cream and candied cranberries, delivering a classic French-inspired ending to the meal.
The evening begins at 18:30, with each course accompanied by a carefully selected Lourensford wine chosen to enhance the flavours on the plate. With limited seating available, advance booking is recommended, as these popular pairing evenings regularly sell out well before the event. For those who enjoy discovering new wines alongside inventive cuisine, Blowfish Restaurant’s latest Wine & Dine Evening promises another memorable night around the table.
