American Express has released the winners of its Platinum Fine Dining awards, listing the top restaurants in Cape Town and Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

The awards have been running for over 18 years, and aim to showcase 100 exceptional restaurants from across South Africa.<\/p>\n

“The awards now reflect the growth and diversity of new restaurants in our country, along with a tangible elevation of our culinary talent,” Amex said.<\/p>\n

“South Africa is truly owning its place as a foodie nation, and this is manifested by the arrival of a wide variety of new avant-garde and contemporary establishments which have emerged in the past few years.”<\/p>\n

“More importantly, our best restaurants are reflecting the dynamic and multicultural nature of our country, encompassing a wide spectrum of styles, ethnicities and ambiences,” it said.<\/p>\n

Along with the top 10 for both Cape Town and Johannesburg, one restaurant scored the top honour and most prestigious award for having won an award 10 years in a row – Restaurant at Mosaic in Gauteng.<\/p>\n
