Peter Tempelhoff to open restaurant in Cape Town CBD

Chef Peter Tempelhoff is set to open his new restaurant in the Cape Town CBD. Fyn, the Afrikaans word for 'fine' and what he refers to as the "better half of the word 'fynbos'", is the realisation of a 22-year dream for Tempelhoff.

If his name and reputation don’t sell you on the experience, the location certainly will – the new restaurant has splendid views of Lion’s Head and Table Mountain, and a distinctive lower Manhattan feel, which Tempelhoff absolutely loves.

He’s got two of the best operators in the business as his partners. Executive Chef Ashley Moss, who has been Tempelhoff's head chef at Greenhouse for the past four years will be in charge of the kitchen. Jennifer HugĂ©, who has been the restaurant manager at La Colombe for 14 years, will be Fyn's general manager.

It’s too soon to reveal any secrets regarding the menu and wine selection, but the cuisine draws inspiration from South Africa’s culture, lore, and society as well as Tempelhoff’s many journeys around the world.
