Restaurants he rates in 2019
For a casual meal Skotnes Restaurant [at Norval Foundation]; or Foxcroft.
For a special occasion Greenhouse in Constantia. Amazing ambience, well-thought-out menu and world-class service.
For a guilty pleasure Olympia Cafe [in Kalk Bay] serves some of the best and freshest baked items. Rich, buttery croissants with a fantastic view of the harbour.
For a Winelands experience Chefs Warehouse at Maison. Anything chef Liam Tomlin has a hand in is amazing. Standout dish by far is the linefish sashimi.
Best new restaurant Gåte in Stellenbosch is a restaurant I haven’t been to yet, but chef Rikku [Ò’Donnchü]’s molecular style is something that really intrigues me.
Best “oldie but goodie” The Foodbarn
The best restaurant overall Myoga [at the Vineyard Hotel] with chef Germaine Essau’s amazing tasting menu. Service could not be flawed and the wine-pairing was spot on for each course.
