This year marks the fourth consecutive appearance for FYN on the list, with the restaurant clinching the 60th spot in the esteemed rankings that include the extended 51-100 list, supported by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna. Notably, FYN had secured the 75th position on the list in the previous year.
For Tempelhoff, this accolade underscores the dedication and expertise of his team, which includes co-owners Jennifer Huge, who oversees front of house and beverages, and culinary director Chef Ashley Moss. He attributes this achievement to the collective efforts of his kitchen and front of house staff, as well as the broader network that contributes to FYN’s success.
‘I’m immensely proud of our team and our collective achievements. Our success wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our suppliers, artisans, and the network of dedicated farmers, foragers, and fermenters who contribute to FYN,’ Tempelhoff expressed.
A pioneering force in the South African culinary landscape, Tempelhoff introduced FYN to widespread acclaim in 2018. The restaurant seamlessly blends the precision of Japanese culinary techniques with the richness of locally sourced and indigenous ingredients, resulting in a dining experience unlike any other. Alongside the prestigious recognition from The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, FYN has garnered numerous accolades and honours both locally and internationally.
