‘It’s an incredible honour to be recognised among some of the best newly discovered restaurants in the world.’ said Salsify’s chef, Ryan Cole. ‘It’s a credit to the entire Salsify team who put so much effort – every day – to make our guests’ experience so memorable.’

Salsify opened its doors in 2018 and is located at the historic national monument, The Roundhouse. Offering visitors sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the majestic Lion’s Head as a backdrop, Salsify serves modern cooking inspired by nature and driven by the seasons.

The restaurant recently underwent a stunning refurbishment to embrace the constant exchange of inspiration between the 300-year-old building and its young, dynamic inhabitants. It’s a setting that both complements and contrasts the chef’s seasonally driven, locally conscious fine dining and his team’s expert service and outstanding wine programme.

50 Best Discovery is an exciting database of dining establishments that forms part of the annual 50 Best rankings of restaurants and bars. The venues featured on 50 Best Discovery have all received votes from the experts who create the rankings of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, The World’s 50 Best Bars, as well as Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, Asia’s 50 Best Bars, Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants, the Middle East and North Africa’s 50 Best Restaurants and North America’s 50 Best Bars.

The digital collection is compiled from the results of these annual “50 Best” rankings but extends far beyond the elite establishments celebrated in each list. The result is a broader range of carefully selected restaurants and bars worldwide, offering everything from emerging talent and local favourites to fine dining and fine-drinking establishments.

‘We hope we can continue contributing to the best of the South African dining scene,’ Ryan added.
