Wonderful. If you have any doubts, just do it. They kindly accomodated my pescetarian diet. Apart from the food, the ambience is excellent, plenty of sunlight if you go for lunch. Service was also top notch, all staff members are polite and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

I celebrated my birthday lunch at FYN on 6 April, and it was immediately clear why they’re consistently ranked the top restaurant in South Africa. The entire experience was seamless service flowed effortlessly, with different wait staff stepping in and out without a single gap or break in rhythm. It felt choreographed without ever feeling stiff. Would 100% recommend without a doubt! We were seated facing Table Mountain on a clear, sunny Cape Town afternoon, which added a quiet sense of luxury to the whole experience. FYN’s space already feels architecturally intentional, but that view elevated it even further. The lunch menu was beautifully structured around local landscapes and ingredients. Highlights for me Land Plants: kuri squash, tulbaghia and autumn greens, a dish that felt like a study in texture. Cape Farms: Outeniqua springbok with garlic buchu and cepes, rich without being heavy. Fruit‑n‑Nut — pecan, pineapple and blueberry, a bright finish. If you’re going for lunch, I’d strongly recommend pairing it with their Lunch Cellar & Rarities Pairing. The selection includes bottles and vintages that aren’t always available to the public. It’s one of the most unique pairings I’ve seen in South Africa, and it genuinely deepens the menu. Overall, FYN delivered a world‑class experience without a single misstep. Exceptional food, rare wines, flawless service, and a view that quietly reminds you why Cape Town is unmatched. Would absolutely recommend.

I have been to FYN four or five times over the years, but today’s lunch surpassed all the previous excellent experiences. I don’t think anywhere else in Cape Town comes close to what one experiences here. Additionally, Jennifer’s presence ensured a calm and orderly atmosphere which was somewhat missing on my last visit. Today the food was exceptional both in terms of presentation, an understanding of the ingredients, flavour and texture. Successfully innovative combinations of quality produce perfectly matched with some outstanding wines. Yes it is expensive by local standards but for me worth every penny and at a fraction of the cost of a comparable meal in Europe. How lucky are we! My words cannot express the excellence of every course I enjoyed so I let the pictures speak for themselves.

FYN has been a culinary destination for quite some time. The restaurant has received many awards and I am happy to say that the concept of combining Asian and South African flavors is still very convincing. The ambiance is unique and at first you will notice that there are no tablecloth's. It creates a "naked" feel and directs your attention to the individual dishes. This makes most sense if you choose the full dining experience were several dishes shine through their presentation. The menu changes with what is available during the season allowing you to enjoy a variety of presentations each time you visit.
