The number one restaurant in the country: The Test Kitchen

The Test Kitchen was named Restaurant of the Year at the 2015 Eat Out Mercedes-Benz Restaurant Awards for the fourth time running. The Woodstock restaurant is currently also number 28 in the world, according to The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, South Africa’s highest entry – the other being The Tasting Room at number 88. Headed up by mastermind Luke Dale-Roberts and head chef Ivor Jones, the restaurant is known for innovation coupled with utter deliciousness. Watch Luke receive the news of his restaurant’s win at the awards ceremony.

In addition to the chance to call his restaurant number one in the country, Luke Dale-Roberts wins the use of a Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 for one year, courtesy of Mercedes-Benz.
