September starts rather well at Blowfish Restaurant, with five courses, five wine pairings and an evening designed for guests who are happy to let dinner take its time.
On Tuesday, 1 September 2026, Blowfish welcomes Riebeek Cellars for its latest Wine & Dine evening.
Guests arrive from 18:30 ahead of a 19:00 start, before settling in for a menu that moves between seafood, spice, slow-cooked richness and a suitably indulgent finale.
- The evening begins with a salmon and oyster cone, made with a fennel blini cone filled with smoked salmon mousse, then topped with a marinated oyster and cucumber pearls.
- Next comes a Provençal-style seafood soup, combining grilled prawns, steamed mussels and fried kingklip in a light fish broth with tomato, orange and saffron.
- The third course changes direction with a chicken curry salad. Chicken thighs are simmered in rich korma curry, deboned and served with chunky sambal salad and smash rosti.
- For the main course, Blowfish serves sesame-soy braised pork belly on sweet potato fondant with unfermented kimchi. It is the sort of course that gives the accompanying wine plenty to work with.
- Dessert finishes the evening with Dom Pedro ice cream, featuring Kahlua and espresso ice cream coated in bitter chocolate and served on a light Amarula mousse.
Each of the five courses is accompanied by a wine selected to complement the dish, with the evening built around the wines of Riebeek Cellars. The full experience costs R650 per person. Seating is limited and advance booking is essential, so guests planning to join the September Wine & Dine are encouraged to reserve early.
