Review:
La Colombe, one of Cape Town’s most well-loved and awarded restaurants, achieved an impressive 12th place in the San Pellegrino 50 Best Restaurants of the World Awards 2010. Having moved up 26 places and into the hallowed Top 20, this bastion of contemporary French-meets-Asian fine dining thereby also clinched the Acqua Panna Best Restaurant in Africa and Middle East Award. Winner of both Chef of the Year and Restaurant of the Year in the Prudential Eat Out Awards 2008, and again honoured with the prestigious Restaurant of the Year title in 2009, La Colombe has also achieved the highest three star rating in the 2009, 2010 and 2011 issue of the acclaimed Rossouw’s Restaurants guide.
Scot Kirton was appointed as Executive Chef of La Colombe in September 2010 and has since made his mark at this award-winning restaurant by securing an honourable Top 100 position in the San Pellegrino 100 Best Restaurants of the World Awards 2011. With only 3 South African restaurants achieving a Top 100 rank in the world in 2011, the recent achievement is a tremendous feat for Scot. Scot’s philosophy and approach to food lies in the pursuit of excellence and perfection he says, “Every dish can always be improved. The freshest seasonal produce, uncomplicated clean flavours and classical elegance are the essence of my inspiration and passion for food.” With impeccable service and an award-winning wine list, La Colombe is a truly unforgettable experience!
