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.

    We had a fantastic Chef’s Counter experience! We loved the precision and detail with which the plates were prepared and enjoyed conversations with the chefs and staff. All dishes were utterly delicious however our standout plate was the Korean fried chicken which was so good, we had it twice! The Kriel Chenin blanc which our waiter suggested we try was delightful. This Franschoek restaurant is a must try!
