<\/a>The Test Kitchen<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t
Two South African restaurants have cracked the list of the top 100 restaurants in the world, with one placing in the top 25.<\/p>\n
The Test Kitchen in Cape Town has been named the best restaurant in Africa, and the 22nd top restaurant in the world, in the S.Pellegrino Best Restaurants Awards for 2016.<\/p>\n
The list is created from the votes of The Diners Club World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants Academy, an influential group of almost 1,000 international leaders in the restaurant community.<\/p>\n
The Test Kitchen ranked 28th in the 2015 list (and 48th in 2014), but climbed the rankings thanks to Chef Luke Dale-Roberts’ “rock star” flair in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
“Combining culinary braggadocio and classical technique, his food would stand out in any of the world\u2019s gastronomic capitals, but in the South African city it\u2019s pretty much unique,” the group said.<\/p>\n
Dale-Roberts is a British-born chef who trained in Switzerland and England before heading to Asia for a five year stint, launching several restaurants in Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and the Philippines.<\/p>\n
