The Test Kitchen Ranked 22nd Best Restaurant in the World

The Cape Town fine dining gem scoops up another international accolade

Lauded by local and international guests, The Test Kitchen is undoubtedly one of the Mother City’s culinary gems, and it’s shining even brighter now.  The fine dining eatery has just been ranked the 22nd best restaurant in the world at the 2016 World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards. What’s more, The Test Kitchen was also voted as the best restaurant in Africa!

With acclaimed chef Luke Dale-Roberts at the helm, the Biscuit Mill-based spot has been raking in the awards since opening its doors in 2010.  It was named in the Elite Traveler Top 100 Restaurants 2015,  and locally it has been named Restaurant of the Year from 2012 to 2015 by the Eat Out Mercedes-Benz Restaurant Awards and received Two Plates in the new South African JHP Gourmet Guide.



This is the second Mother City restaurant that was recognised by the organisers of the prestigious event. Last week, La Colombe was ranked at an impressive 76 in the world!
