RESTAURANTS
The Test Kitchen
2.5 MI / 4.07 KM AWAY
Cape Town has been on the tourist radar for decades, but it was arguably Luke Dale Roberts who put her on the international fine-dining map back in 2010. In all four of his exceptional Cape Town venues, you’ll find intelligent, seasonal cooking that’s, most importantly, incredibly tasty. At the 40-seater TTK (as it’s known among insiders), your dinner starts in the Dark Room for an array of inventive snacks inspired by Luke’s travels around the world, and then moves to the Light Room, where you experience Luke’s bold, experimental and contemporary dishes with an optional wine-pairing. Once you’ve dined here, you’ll understand why it’s the only (South) African restaurant to be featured consistently in the The World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards.
