If you’re looking for the better things in life, look no further. 

FYN – CBD

FYN - CBD

One of Cape Town’s most daring locations is housed in a vast industrial area with a cloud of wooden discs suspended from the ceiling. Peter Tempelhoff’s objective is to erase boundaries by interpreting South Africa using Japanese methodologies. The Top 50 award defines its menu as “Japanese at its core, using fish, poultry, and meat from the best Cape Town farms and fisheries” and praises its sashimi and the “showstopper” Outeniqua springbok, kabocha squash, Hokkaido pumpkin, shiitake, and caramelised onion sauce. FYN is a cutting-edge restaurant that emphasizes high-quality ingredients.

Beyond – Constantia

Beyond - Constantia

Beyond has dedicated great attention to procuring a varied assortment of exceptional raw produce. From rare-breed meats to seasonal heirloom veggies to artisanally produced cheeses, this variety strives to highlight and appreciate the ‘strange and wonderful’ and the beauty of distinct strains and flavours beyond mass production. A key factor – and one that is important to this approach – is that by purchasing locally, the restaurant demonstrates its commitment to smaller growers, farmers, and producers that are part of a healthy supplier ecosystem.

Salisfy – Camps Bay

Salisfy - Camps Bay

Tickled by the Atlantic and framed by Lion’s Head, this tiny, contemporary restaurant is housed within the ancient curved foundations of an old 1700s guardhouse – a national monument given a new lease of life as one of Cape Town’s finest eating venues. Six to ten meals are unpretentious and playful, allowing you to sample the best of the region. Grapefruit cured sashimi with hibiscus pickled radish, smoked springbok with puffed sorghum, and slow-cooked duck with pear hoisin and duck fat hash browns compete for attention, but the ocean views from the convivial Sea Room are equally divine.

Potluck – Woodstock

Potluck - Woodstock

This is one of Cape Town’s coolest venues for seeing and being seen, a ballad of different tones of wood tucked away on the sixth floor of an ancient biscuit factory. British-born Luke Dale-Roberts prefers sharing plates reminiscent of a 1950s-style pot luck supper. A ceviche with black bean puree and umami-rich pig belly with pecan butter and parmesan is served with rabbit terrine with crispy pancetta and deconstructed ‘fish tacos’. Roll your sleeves up and get to work.

Rust and Vrede – Stellenbosch

Rust and Vrede - Stellenbosch

This restaurant is located in the Estate’s original cellar, which has been renovated into a sophisticated yet relaxed fine-dining environment. Chef Fabio Daniel prepares contemporary French cuisine while drawing inspiration from his Brazilian and Italian ancestry. He continues our heritage of finding only the freshest and greatest products from sustainable farmers, having worked under both previous head chefs, David Higgs and John Shuttleworth.

Deux Lions – Franschhoek

Deux Lions - Franschhoek

Chef Nanda Cardoso’s brief, versatile, and approachable menu is ideal for families and friends looking for that elusive middle ground between Franschhoek’s abundance of fine-dining venues and casual cafés. Deux Lions delivers refined yet homey food created with love. A flavourful and visually appealing experience to persuade customers to return. Ingredients are purchased locally, keeping in mind seasonal produce and enabling each item to shine.

Dusk – Stellenbosch

Dusk - Stellenbosch

The two chefs’ vision for Dusk is for it to become a space where the fine dining industry’s boundaries are challenged and ultimately pushed aside by having a unique food and beverage offering that not only entices the palate, but also conveys a story with emotion behind each dish. The chefs will also be experimenting with different in-house preparation methods, such as fermentation and “whole process” cooking, in order to push a zero-waste philosophy. Miso, garum, Shoyu, lacto-ferments, cured meats, cheeses, and even wine and alcohol manufacturing are among the in-house ingredients.

Noop – Paarl

Noop - Paarl

Zian, a Paarl native, is famed for his unassuming seasonal meal that bursts with flavours that the palette will never forget. The majority of the daily menu consists of hearty meat dishes, like Kalahari springbok loin, crispy free-range duck, hog belly, a variety of steak cuts with your choice of sauce, and a handmade free-range beef burger. Vegetarians are not forgotten, with meals like velvety mushroom risotto on the menu, and seafood lovers should sample the Thai red prawn curry. Make room for dessert! A couverture-chocolate dessert with homemade Madagascan vanilla bean ice cream and the Mzansi, a classic malva pudding with vanilla anglaise and homemade koeksister ice cream, are among the options.
