The most exciting restaurant in Cape Town right now — chef Peter Tempelhoff's Afro-Japanese tasting menu on the 5th floor of a CBD building, with Table Mountain views and a regular spot on Africa's 50 Best list.
Why It Belongs on the List
FYN (Afrikaans for "fine/refined") is Peter Tempelhoff and Ashley Moss's CBD restaurant now the most talked-about table in Cape Town — a 9-course Afro-Japanese menu that combines South African ingredients with Japanese aesthetics and technique. Springbok with hazelnut crust and mushroom custard; Cape seafood through a kaiseki lens; the open kitchen stations among the tables create a participatory feeling. 5th-floor loft with Table Mountain views. On Africa's 50 Best list. Book 4–6 weeks ahead.
