TTK Fledgelings isn’t about fine dining. Instead, we’re a space for inspiring plates, bold flavours and delicious dishes.

An upliftment program. Empowering people to LEARN to cook. Serving delicious food. Creating opportunities. TEACHING hospitality skills. Done with LOVE.

Gourmet Guide Description

In the iconic Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock, you’ll be welcomed by a sea of smiling faces. Behind the scenes, an ensemble of passionate chefs, led by the meticulous eye of head chef Nathan Clarke, orchestrate a symphony of gastronomic brilliance. The former fine-dining luxury of The Test Kitchen has been softened, with cutlery housed in pewter tankards on tables still covered in white linen. Humbling service elevates the dining experience. Passion and purpose resonate throughout, with each team member exuding enthusiasm and dedication. Here, the kitchen isn’t just a place of heat and pressure; it’s a vibrant stage where every beat is felt, creating an edible future.

Clarke’s journey from kitchen sculler to cooking maestro embodies the essence of this mentorship programme. Aspiring students learn under the tutelage of culinary luminary Luke Dale Roberts and his seasoned management team, being mentored and compensated for their dedication to mastering the craft.

From Cape Malay to Asian delights on two enticing menu options: indulge in the casual offerings of the à la carte 2 or 3 course menu featuring Wagyu burgers and comforting classics, or opt for the curated ‘Fully Fledged’ set menu. From the tantalising Korean-fried chicken with ponzu emulsion to the exquisite lobster bao accompanied by the city’s finest chips, every plate tells a story of craftsmanship and global inspiration. Savour the vivacious flavours of prawn dumplings immersed in fragrant broth, or the artistry of duck ravioli presented with understated elegance.

    We had such a memorable experience at The Test Kitchen in celebration of our anniversary. Everyone was so kind and attentive and each meal was perfectly delicious while making a statement with the presentation. It’s definitely something you want to do when visiting Cape Town and it’ll have you longing to come back to try their other seasonal menus.

    Test Kitchen under Luke Dale Roberts was a pure Marketing Scam. TTK Fledgelings has a much better Balance between Marketing, actual Performance and appriciation. The food is meanwhile ranging amongst other top level restaurants in Cape Town. The Venue was always a great spot, kept blocked for visits far too long. The Service still needs further development, the same team under the leadership of Jennifer Hugé would double its performance within a week. Realy a spot to keep an eye on for it´s further steps, not yet where i could be.
