At The Sanctuary Restaurant in Cape Town’s buzzing Kloof Street district, diners have learned to expect two things: flavour that speaks fluent comfort and a menu that refuses to stay still.
Now, their beloved Blackboard Specials have returned — and they’re serving up the kind of dishes that make you abandon all plans of “just a light bite.”
Available Monday to Sunday from 12:00 pm to 22:00 pm, these specials rotate with the seasons, the chef’s inspiration, and whatever delicious magic is happening in the kitchen that day. The result? A lineup of plates that feel exciting, fresh, and slightly indulgent… exactly the way dining out should be.
✨ Let’s Talk Starters
- The show begins with flavour combinations bold enough to grab your attention and refined enough to make you feel sophisticated doing it. Think Sweet Melon, Parma Ham & Feta Salad — a refreshing medley that screams “summer on a plate.” Or the Smoked Salmon & Goat’s Cheese Tart, a buttery, savoury dream for fans of creamy richness. And for spice-lovers, the Gochujang Chicken Poppers with Asian Slaw deliver crispy crunch and Korean-inspired heat.
🔥 Mains That Mean Business
- The star of the board — and possibly your entire week — is the 600g Tomahawk Ribeye Steak, marinated in jalapeño and maple, served with twice-baked potato wedges and garlic ranch sauce. It’s the kind of meal people describe as “life-changing,” and honestly… they’re not wrong.
- But if you’re more ocean than land, the Poached Line Fish on Wilted Pak Choi with Asian Broth is a fragrant, restorative bowl of comfort. Meanwhile, pasta lovers can twirl their way through the White Wine & Parmesan Linguini Seafood Pasta, lush with creamy sauce and fresh seafood.
🍓 Desserts Worth Leaving Room For
- Whether you’re team Passionfruit Pavlova or rooting for the Mixed Summer Berry Pavlova, you’ll be rewarded with clouds of Chantilly cream and fruity sweetness that close the meal on a high note.
Light-hearted, flavour-packed, and served in one of the trendiest settings on Kloof Street — The Sanctuary’s Blackboard Specials are exactly the kind of dining experience food lovers daydream about.
