The Tangram’s triumph is owed to Chef Tamzyn Ehlers’ commitment to using the freshest ingredients to create visually and tastefully extraordinary dishes, the staff’s consistently superb service and the restaurant’s views of Table Mountain, Table Bay and the surrounding vineyards.

Regional standouts:
- Cape Town’s Best: Homespun at The Andros, with a 9.7 rating
- Johannesburg’s Best: Marble, scoring 9.8.
- Pretoria’s Best: Brasserie de Paris, also rated 9.8.
- Winelands’ Best: La Petite Colombe, achieving a perfect 10.
- Durban’s Best: The Chefs’ Table, with a 9.7 rating
The Tangram’s general manager, Dirk Steyn, said that it’s an incredible honour to be recognised as the best in South Africa.
‘The hospitality industry is tough and very competitive. Consumers demand quality, creativity, exceptional service and unique experiences. Dining out is such a social and emotive engagement, and consumers have extremely high expectations,’ he said.

He added, ‘Since we pride ourselves on delivering beyond expectations, our team is overjoyed by the announcement. Especially considering that people travelled from all corners of Cape Town to experience our offerings during Restaurant Week, diners we are sure will become regular customers.’

Held from 29 September to 5 November, Restaurant Week sees participating restaurants offer special menus at discounted rates. Unlike traditional awards judged by a panel, this event relies on diners’ ratings, providing a genuine reflection of consumer preferences.
