FYN in Cape Town becomes one of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and wins the coveted Flor de Caña Sustainable Restaurant Award 2023
Fyn’s unique brand of South African-Japanese cuisine may at first glance seem an unlikely candidate for the Flor de Caña Sustainable Restaurant Award – but you only have to scratch the surface of Cape Town’s award-winning restaurant to discover a far-reaching philosophy that influences every aspect of the dining experience.
Take, for instance, its name. ‘Fyn’ (pronounced as ‘fayn’) is actually a nod to Fynbos, the name of the coastal and mountainous ecosystem that the culinary team has focused its research on as well as one of its most widespread plants. A hotspot of biodiversity and endemism, Fynbos is home to the Cape Floristic Region and its 9,000 species – and celebrating unique local ingredients is the cornerstone of Fyn’s concept.
