About FYN Restaurant
FYN Restaurant, perched above Church Square with striking city views, is where South African flavours meet Japanese precision in a thrilling fine-dining experience.
Chef Peter Tempelhoff and Executive Chef Ashley Moss craft a dynamic, kaiseki-inspired menu that highlights the purity of local ingredients – think Karoo lamb, sustainably-sourced seafood and indigenous botanicals, all presented with intricate, minimalist elegance. The open kitchen and sleek, industrial design create a dining space that feels both intimate and theatrical, drawing guests into the creative energy behind each dish.
The wine program, led by Jennifer Hugé, is as expertly curated as the menu, balancing South African standouts with a carefully-selected mix of international gems. Wines are chosen to enhance the umami-rich flavours of the cuisine, resulting in seamless pairings – like an old-vine Chenin complementing delicate sashimi, or a structured Swartland Syrah elevating slow-cooked meats. FYN’s commitment to wine excellence has earned it top honours at the Star Wine List of the Year awards, winning Best Medium-Sized Wine List in South Africa in both 2022 and 2023.
Thoughtful service, cutting-edge cuisine, and an award-winning wine list make FYN one of Cape Town’s most exhilarating dining experiences.
