Discoveries are made when boundaries are crossed. At FYN, South Africa's wild freedom is tempered by the rigours of contemporary cuisine to create a restaurant at the edge. Check your assumptions with your coats and join us on a journey of flavour discovery.
FYN's design challenges the separation of kitchen and dining room, so each become part of the other. We believe in comfort over formality, collaboration over individual feats, and its depth, complexity and deliciousness lead the way.
Peter Tempelhoff, Ashley Moss and Jennifer Hugé are FYN's lead explorers. Peter is the visionary, turning this dream into reality with 27 years of experience; Ash brings tattoos and grunt; and Jennifer marshals the troops to deliver service the way the French intended. Fearless, inquisitive and demanding, they promise to take you somewhere new.
Solo diners are required to contact us via email or telephonically to reserve a table.
Tables bigger than 6 should please contact FYN.
We welcome children from age 13 at lunch and dinner. Should a child under 13 join, despite being aware of FYN's T's&C's, we will enforce our Rights Admission Policy, cancelling the reservation and the deposit will be forfeited.
We do not offer corkage.

Gourmet Guide Description
After securing your reservation for a gastronomic exploration at FYN you then book your flight. From the first breathless moment of anticipation to the lingering sense of awe that remains, you’ll be impressed. The well exposed culinary traveller understands and appreciates the nuances of what goes into creating and replicating the finesse of Japanese cuisine using local ingredients. It’s fitting that it’s found its rightful place on the global culinary stage, winning the Sustainable Restaurant Award 2023 by the World’s 50 Best Restaurants…and the inaugural WWF-SASSI Green Philosophy Plate in this year’s Haute Performance awards.
Quickly watch as the clouds drape themselves over Table Mountain from the enviable vantage point, five floors up in Speakers Corner. Glance fleeting at the décor, from the ceiling artfully covered in strings of wooden discs, to the eye-catching mural (that matches chef Ashley’s tattoo) on the wall. Now it’s all about the cuisine…
Tastemakers Peter Tempelhof and Ashley Moss and their teams instinctively create perfection in the open kitchen, while drinks maestro Jennifer Hugé impresses with every sip and the delivery thereof. Start with a cocktail, or perhaps a Japanese chestnut-infused whisky with chocolate drops and mushroom spray? The carefully curated local wine or non-alcoholic pairings, with a touch of Japanese sake makes the beverage journey a joy to behold.
The look of simplicity belies the complexity and consideration that goes into conceptualising and perfecting each part of the gastronomic feat. Enormous care is taken to source premium produce, from ingredients to tableware, locally. Every note of this symphony will stop your heart, or make it beat faster.
