Fyn (pronounced “fain”) is chef‑restaurateur Peter Tempelhoff’s Cape Town showpiece, perched on the fifth floor of a 19th‑century silk‑factory loft where triple‑height windows frame Lion’s Head and Table Mountain. Newly crowned No. 37 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list — and winner of the 2022 Best Restaurant in Africa award — the 70‑seat dining room pairs Japanese technique with hyper‑local South African produce under the watch of head chef Ashley Moss and GM Jennifer Hugé. Diners might open with guineafowl tsukune, tare‑glazed tonkatsu or Iberico pork with okonomiyaki sauce before a sashimi interlude, then climax with the signature Outeniqua springbok dressed in kabocha squash, Hokkaido pumpkin, shiitake and caramelised‑onion jus. A pastry island planted in the middle of the room blurs kitchen and floor, reinforcing the restaurant’s interactive ethos, while sunset bookings are prized for the dramatic city‑and‑mountain panorama.
