Myoga 

Food:

Much-awarded Chef Mike Bassett reigns supreme here, creating flawless food that is delicious and inventive without being preciousness. Asian and European influences are perfectly matched in dishes like duck spring roll with hoisin sauce, spanakopita with tzatziki, and Punjabi curried potato samoosa with homemade chutney. Standout mains include caramelised sirloin with red onion marmalade and teriyaki salmon with mild wasabi pesto.

Wine:

A spectacular list of the Cape’s best, with the hefty mark-up expected in such a luxury hotel.

Service:

Impeccable and polished.

Ambience:

The historical significance of this excellent hotel, which used to be the residence of Lady Anne Barnard, has been carefully nurtured. The restaurant itself is a light and airy space. Casually elegant, it takes full advantage of the gorgeous views in the daytime.

And...:

Check for the specials, which can be generous. (GL, October 2011)

Myoga was recommended by a close friend and we went there in 2011 for the first time. We had the tasting menu and were quite impressed with the food. We went back later that year with friends for my 30th birthday and no other restuarant can beat the service or the food we received that night. Having been to several restuarants across Cape Town having their tasting menus and none even coming close to Myoga's. Some menus even making us feel ill afterwards. So off we went to Myoga again, twice this year already to celebrate our engagement and the purchase of our new home. We've decided that Myoga is and will always be our favourite because of 3 things: the fantastic food, the great service and excellent value for money! Thanks to all at Myoga!

How this place is not in the top 10 I do not know. Have you ever tasted their Gorgonzola cheese cake, it is insane. We try to go to all the top 10 and I keep going back here as to me it beats the pants off the rest. The kitchen is so calm it is unbeleiviable and you can see it even from the loo. Their 7 course menu is incredible and so well priced. Don't expect over the top finniky food but just the most sublime flavours in the universe and a great setting.

This is hands-down our favourite restaurant in Cape Town. There are very few restaurants that are as committed to excellence in quality and service as Myoga is. Each course is something special – utterly delicious, exciting and unique to Myoga. The service team is superb and goes the extra mile to make your visit a “dining experience” rather than just “dinner out”, all without being pretentious like so many other restaurants. We’ve visited Myoga many times and so look forward to many more future visits.

Ate there last night. This restaurant should be in the top 1O. Really impressive.
