FYN Restaurant

FYN celebrates South Africa's wild landscapes through the precision of Japanese technique - seasonal, restrained, and focused on celebrating each ingredient. Founded by Peter Tempelhoff, Ashley Moss, and Jennifer Hugé, the restaurant has earned local and international acclaim since opening in 2018, most recently as Eat Out Restaurant of the Year 2026 - South Africa's highest dining honour. FYN sits above Cape Town CBD, on the top floor of Speakers' Corner. The restaurant, designed by award-winning interior architect Tristan du Plessis, blurs the lines between open kitchen and dining room. The space features natural materials, rich textures and art installations, with sound and light used to further enhance the sensory environment. The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Bea Hesse, whose menus traverse South African terrains through sustainably-sourced local ingredients, the likes of foraged coastal kelp, edible plants, and responsibly-farmed abalone. FYN Group’s Sommelier, Service and Beverage Director Jennifer Hugé oversees the front-of-house and a boundary-pushing wine, sake, and beverage programme. Hugé is winner of the Eat Out Guide's inaugural Mixology Award and the recipient of Relais & Châteaux and Pommery 2026 Woman of the Year Trophy. In addition to its Eat Out Guide's accolades, FYN features on the World's 50 Best List of Restaurants, holds both a Gold and three plate rating from JHP Gourmet Guide, was the first standalone restaurant in Africa to become a member of Relais & Châteaux, and in 2025 was the first African restaurant to receive 3 knives at The Best Chef Awards The FYN Experience menu runs eight courses long with a reduced menu available for lunch. The experience menu is available for lunch guests who are seated before 13:00. Solo diners and parties of more than six are required to contact the reservations team to reserve a table.
