          Good to Gather, a tiny farm-to-table restaurant on Rozendal Farm in Stellenbosch, is the number one restaurant on our Top 100 list for 2023<\/a>. After taking second place in 2022<\/a>, the eatery not only ascended to become the country’s overall number-one choice this year, but also took top honours for their ratings for \u201cfood\u201d and \u201cambience\u201d.<\/p>\n

          \n

          Words cannot express how honoured we are to receive such a wonderful accolade! Our focus has always been on food that is seasonal, our love for gathering the best produce we can find (and, in some cases, grow ourselves), and the joy we have in sharing it with our guests. \u2013 Jess and Luke Grant, Good to Gather<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
