This has been South Africa’s year to shine. In addition to the Springboks’ win at this year’s Rugby World Cup, the South African beekeeper team won at the 2023 UK National Honey Show; South African cookbook authors have been winning awards; our olive oil, brandy and wine has been winning awards; and Fyn and Fyn and La Colombe were placed in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants extended list.
The list of Mzansi’s accomplishments has been long (there's a lot more where that came from) and the latest good news is the inclusion of eight South African restaurants in this year’s Top 100 Restaurants of the World as announced by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards last week.
Announced to connect people with the best of luxury, these global awards select and celebrate the best luxury goods and services across categories such as restaurants, wine and spirits, hotels and resorts and architects and designers.
According to the announcement for this year’s top picks, the Top 100 “represents the epitome of luxury dining, bringing together the most worthy, reliable, and trusted representatives of the luxury restaurant industry from around the globe. Each establishment on this list has been meticulously chosen for its exceptional standards in cuisine, service, ambience and innovation.”
