Cape Town Restaurants Secure First Michelin Stars for South Africa
Test Kitchen and Fyn both awarded one star in the inaugural Michelin Guide for Cape Town and the Winelands.

The Michelin Guide has awarded its first stars to South African restaurants, with The Test Kitchen in Cape Town and Fyn securing one star each in the inaugural guide for the region.
Three additional restaurants—La Colombe, Wolfgat, and The Pot Luck Club—received Bib Gourmand recognition for "exceptionally good food at moderate prices."
The announcement has triggered a surge in booking requests, with The Test Kitchen reporting a 400% increase in reservation inquiries since the news broke. Tourism authorities hope the recognition will help position Cape Town as a global culinary destination.
