Our story

34 years, one simple idea

Bellinis was founded by Jenny Richardson and opened its doors in Illovo on 1 August 1992.

More than three decades later, it is still loved for exactly the same things: food that is authentic, simple, fresh and delicious — served without fuss.

“I think about food. Literally. All day, every day… It’s a thing.”
