La Colombe Restaurant

"La Colombe has become one of those tables you must secure well in advance of arrival in Cape Town for good reason: the scenic setting up a steep, winding road high above the Constantia Valley is well worth the trek for chef Scot Kirton’s whimsical, inventive French-Asian tasting menus. Every course shows phenomenal attention to detail, regardless of whether the star ingredient is wagyu beef or wild mushrooms, and despite exquisite plating and novel presentation, nothing is overworked or overcomplicated. Don’t miss the signature Tuna La Colombe, a play on a tin can filled with cubes of marinated raw tuna, best washed down with some of the small-batch house gin." - Jane Broughton
