On the top floor of a 19th-century silk factory in Cape Town’s historic city center, FYN Restaurant flies high above the African gourmet dining scene. Having received several prestigious international distinctions, it masterfully reconciles African exuberance and Japanese refinement. Chef Peter Tempelhoff, in partnership with Chef Ashley Moss and Service & Beverage Director Jennifer Hugé, concocts kaiseki-style menus, showcasing in-season, sustainably grown ingredients from the local terroir. This strong culinary identity is also expressed in the pescetarian, vegetarian, and vegan menus. The wine list is your chance to discover old South African vintages, a rare experience for this region. The warm and modern décor by Tristan du Plessis and the mountain view complete the experience. FYN Restaurant’s open kitchen encourages interaction between chefs and diners, while the friendly service guides guests through this exotically flavorful epicurean adventure.
