Salsify and its scenic setting have been recognised as one of the best restaurants in the country by the Haute Grander Global Restaurant Awards for 2022. Chef Ryan Cole and his team received the awards for “Best Scenic Setting in South Africa” in the 2022 Awards.

With sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the majestic Lion’s Head as a backdrop, Salsify is an award-winning, fine-dining restaurant serving up modern cooking, inspired by nature and driven by the seasons. Within the richly storied walls of the national monument, The Roundhouse, an opulent culinary journey is accented by daring décor and whispers of history – a meal at Salsify is unlike any other.

The restaurant recently underwent a stunning refurbishment to embrace the constant exchange of inspiration between the 300-year-old building and its young, dynamic inhabitants. It’s a space that compliments and contrasts the chef’s seasonally driven, locally conscious fine dining, and his team’s expert service and superb wine programme.

The Haute Grandeur Global Restaurant Awards recognise remarkable achievements in delivering consistent, exceptional experiences in the global luxury hospitality industry.

“To win an Haute Grandeur Global Restaurant Award for overall “excellence” a restaurant must excel on all levels.
