Chefs

Top choice in Cape Town


So called because you can see all the chefs at work in the open kitchen, this is a fab new addition to Cape Town's dining scene with an original concept of 'fast fine dining' that really works. The daily choice of three mains (always including a vegetarian option) look exactly as they do on the touchscreen menu and taste wonderful.

There's one dessert and a few good wines and other drinks on offer. Bookings are limited to set times so come early or risk being disappointed, as it's popular – especially for dinner.
