The inaugural Restaurant of the Year Awards, held in Paris on 18 February 2019, saw Wolfgat, a restaurant in the Western Cape’s seaside village of Paternoster, taking the coveted “Restaurant of the Year” award for 2019.

The judges proudly remarked that this restaurant would make you want to book a flight to Cape Town immediately and drive along the coast to experience this gastronomic sensation. Wolfgat draws its culinary inspiration from the surrounding landscape and its dramatic seasonal transformation. Kobus Van Der Merwe, Head Chef extraordinaire, creates a signature seven-course tasting menu that has attracted global attention.

The ingredients are made up of sustainable seafood, local lamb and venison, and seasonal veldkos (field food), all enhanced by wild herbs, seaweed from local rock pools and pickings straight from the garden. The white-washed fisherman’s cottage is simple in design, yet boasts a charming setting, right on the beach with ocean views that captivate.
