Protégé is an exciting casual fine dining eatery under the guidance of previous Eat Out Chef of the Year, La Colombe’s Scot Kirton.

Scot is proud to be part of the process of recognising young talented chefs and giving them the opportunity to put themselves on the map. In keeping with this, the restaurant was aptly named Protégé.

The idea with Protégé is to keep it casual and comfortable, working with local suppliers to keep the menu as fresh and as seasonal as possible.

The restaurant space has been designed around the central show kitchen with al fresco dining planned at both ends of the restaurant.

Protégé is open for lunch from 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm and for dinner from 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm.

    One of the best lunches we’ve had in South Africa it exceeded our expectations on every level.We had the shorter menu which still offered plenty of choice.Very inspired ingredients and flavours,knowledgeable staff and great setting,we sat outdoors.The only comment we would make is the lamb dish which in itself was delightful did seem a bit out of place with the rest of the menu.A must visit.
