Top choice in Cape Town
The sister restaurant to Test Kitchen is a more affordable Luke Dale-Roberts option. Sitting at the top of an old silo, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding area, but the star attraction is the food. Dishes are designed to be shared; we defy you not to order a second plate of the beef with truffle-café-au-lait sauce.
Sunday brunch (without/with bottomless bubbly R450/650) is highly recommended. Book ahead.
