Salsify @ the Roundhouse

With sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Lion’s Head as a backdrop, Salsify sits at the pinnacle of Cape Town’s fine dining scene. Shaped by its setting, the restaurant is dedicated to preserving heritage and paying homage to the history, stories and ingredients that define its sense of place. Executive chef and co-owner Ryan Cole, head chef Nina du Toit and their team have created a menu built around seasonally available produce, locally sourced proteins, foraged herbs, ancient grains and preserved elements from previous seasons. Inspired by the mountain and sea that surround Salsify, the menu is precise, restrained and expressive. It is supported by sweeping views, considered interiors, premium wines and attentive service, creating a dining experience that feels elegant without excess. The interiors unfold through a series of rooms that continue Salsify’s dialogue between preservation, place and contemporary craft. Salsify is currently ranked 88 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants extended list.
