Thirteen of the top 20 finalists for the Top 10 restaurant awards are in the Western Cape. Franschhoek has three restaurants on the Top 20 list (Reubens, the Tasting Room and Bread & Wine), as does Stellenbosch (Terrior, Overture, Rust en Vrede). Cape Town leads the pack with six restaurants: Aubergine, Food Barn, Jardine, La Colombe, The Showroom, and Myoga. Three Johannesburg restaurants are on the list (Linger Longer, Saxon, Roots), as are Mosaic in Pretoria and Zachary’s in Knysna. Kwa-Zulu Natal has two finalists, being Hartford House and 9th Avenue Bistro.
Ginja, which has been on the Top 10 list forever, has not made the new top 20 list this year. Grande Provence in Franschhoek, currently on the Top 10 list, has also not made it onto the new top 20 list. Haiku, and Bosmans at Grande Roche, are surprising omissions from the top 20 list.
The Prudential Eat Out Top 10 restaurants will be announced on 30 November.
