Just book. Dont think.. just book. It is an incredible food experience you will not forget.I get why they are in the top 100 restaurants in the world!!!

A dining experience not only for ones tastebuds, but visual and tactile too! We enjoyed the 5 course tasting menu which consisted of large enough portions not to leave a hungry gap to be filled with something at a fast food joint! The presentation of the individual dishes is incredibly creative and artistic! Customer service 5*, value for money 5*, would I go again? Yes, Yes, Yes!!

Good Japanese restaurant with excellent service...we paid R985 each for the limited menu with the 12% obligatory tip. The full menu costs about R1350 both excluding any drinks...the meals were well prepared and well presented...as its fine dining the courses are extremely small... As the pics attached would show... So even eating all the courses its not the equivalent of a normal plate of food... Maybe half that... So not advised to come too hungry... Desert was average but suppose the meal is more about the main courses...Regarding value for money... Well I dont think so...we had the Fine dining experience at Utopia restaurant for R199 and found that was excellent value for money with stunning views etc...

We had an incredible meal at Fyn last night. The service was impeccable and the food faultless. We especially loved the dessert - sweet potato cake with a miso caramel, as well as the bread course

Beautiful atmosphere and world class food. Really enjoyed my time there especially because they didnt rush us with courses. Great place for a catch up or family dinner. Worth every penny too.

Ambience is more industrial chic than cozy but the food was an experience.

Wow! What an experience the waiters and staff are exceptional. The food is out of this world brilliant. They catered to our every need -and allergy at a moments notice. (The true sign of excellence) There was nothing they couldn’t or would not do to serve us. We Left feeling well fed and totally satisfied, money very well spent. This may just be the best resturant in the Cape.

An amazing fine dining experience. They manage to combine Japanese influences with local South African ingredients in a very classy way. Despite the fact that this is fine dining, it was still great value. Friendly staff and beautiful decor. I will definitely eat here again.

Great place, cozy very elegant and original decoration. The lunch menu was very good. Especially the gyoza with the amazing dipping sauce, the mushroom crème brûlée and the desert.

One of the best food experiences I have ever had in Cape Town.

Wonderful experience. The pork course blew us away. Service was extremely attentive and friendly – and knowledgeable in terms of recommending us wine.

Just great from the start till the end. Except the complicated wifi password. Culinary experience with no fancy decor or crowd.

We took advantage of the 495-rand tasting menu during Restaurant Week XXL to check out what they say is the best restaurant in town.What do we say? It’s the best restaurant in town. If you visit during RW, don’t miss the hamachi tataki plate: it’s delicious and a showstopper.

Yummy obviously. Just go and give it a bash. If youre a foodie, you wont be disappointed.

From the moment we arrived at this hidden restaurant, we felt at home. We were treated like old friends. You enter through an art gallery and the art doesnt stop here. The food is world class quality. Beautifully presented with interesting flavour combinations. We are proud to have a restaurant with this standard in our Mother City.

Excellent meals here. Fresh, innovative and exciting menu. Have had lunch and dinner and the service was impeccable. Wine selection is great. A really wonderful experience in a lovely setting.

I cried a little.

Wonderful in every sense of the word. Fantastic experience.

Extremely good experience, from beginning to an end. Food was on spot and so it was the service

This place is excellent! The food was all beautifully presented and so very tasty. The wine pairings were also delicious. The service was phenomenal and the ambiance cant be beat. Would highly recommend for a celebratory dinner out on the town.

Very delicious food in an eclectic setting. The wine pairing was delicious and there were wines on offer that you literally cannot get anywhere else. We were definitely full at the end of the meal! Unfortunately we had to remind the staff to refill our glasses (small portions of wine for R600 a head) and although the food was definitely delicious, I wouldnt mark it down as original - similar things are being done throughout the city. I also found the manager to be rather stand-offish and unwelcoming when we showed up for our reservation.

Hands down the best restaurant in Cape Town. Its fine dining and its expensive, but its worth every cent!!! Went a week ago and cant stop thinking about it. :)

Every dish is so delicious and well decorated in different stylish plates. Even I am allergic to certain seafood, they can accomodate and it turns out sooo good. The ingredients are fresh and the combination of each dish is perfect. Plus the service is great. One of the best restaurants in Cape Town.

Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing interior. 5-star experience.

Lovely dinner!We came here as a group of 12, and Fyn was very accommodating of the dietary restrictions for some of our members, myself included. I appreciated that our server took her time discussing my meal options with me before finalizing the details with the chef. I was also super stoked that they offered a vegan option for the whole menu!

Just around the corner where we stayed on Parliament Street 5th floor of Speaker’s Corner building. Wonderful design restaurant with amazing Japanese-African fusion cuisine. Open for nearly a year now but already in the top high-rated places. So we were lucky we could reserve for lunch in one day time.

Fyn restaurant is a Japanese and African fusion restaurant with a set menu. It is well worth going to, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. I can highly recommend the Perske Boom cocktail that has a rooibos tea base. The wine pairing is worth doing as it takes the guess work out of which wine to have.

Great restaurant with an interesting Japanese fusion tasting menu. However, a few things could have been a little better. There were some really long waits between some of the courses that dragged out the whole evening. Given the additional R700 for including wine pairing I would have expected a better experience there. The wagyu was tougher than I would have liked and in hindsight I should have gone for the standard beef rather than the wagyu supplement. And the restaurant was incredibly cold! Come prepared with warm clothing :)

Amazing dining experience. The food & wine pairing were supurb. We also had wonderful service. I enjoyed the space at lunchtime when you had a great view of downtown CapeTown. Also had a great experience sitting at the bar & watching all of the prep taking place.

Located On the fiifth flour, beautiful view to table Mountain and Lions Head, depending, where you are seated. All courses were excellent. Nice ideas with the melting butter. The sorbet was also nicely presented and delicious. The sommelier was stunning, fantastic knowledge about the wines and their taste. Service was very good and well organised. The restaurant is not to big, so its not that noisy than in others. Just let us finish the champagne, before starting with dinner and the wine flight... 😉

Great food a tad pricey on the wine list but all the fine dining places seem to be doing this

Food was amazing!

This is an AMAZING new restaurant - in the middle of Cape Town. It just opened on 12 Dec 2018 and we were so lucky to be able to enjoy this great experience on their day one by chance! Let the pictures speak for themselves: Best views onto Table Mountain and such an interesting & lekker set dinner and really friendly staff! Well done thnak you for a wonderful evening dinner - we will definitely come back with friends as well!!

Incredible experience! Pricey but worth it. Only 1 dish needed salt. And the one desert with the big pastry - although tasty didnt quite fit with the whole fine dining theme! The Japanese beer was a total rip off at R130 per can. Overall an amazing experience! Impeccable service! Highly highly recommend!

Beautiful venue, fantastic staff and every bite is amazing. Great overall experience

A great experience and the food experience is so special. An extensive wine list and lots af artwork to enjoy.

Fyn is DIVINE. What an incredible experience. You really just have to soak it all in, try everything, go with people you love, and enjoy the epic ambiance.

Top class Japanese inspired tasting menuThis morning when I woke up I had no idea what I was having for dinner tonight, with my wife’s cooking I rarely do. When I got to the office though, I remembered that my daughter was sleeping at her school tonight, outside on cardboard boxes (seriously). Safe in the knowledge that she was set to learn valuable lessons about the less fortunate, I decided that without the burden of the third wheel, my wife and I could have a decent peaceful dinner.Oh glory, what a pleasure walking in and instantly knowing you are in safe warm hands. I don’t have to tell you that the food and service is great, you just know you’re not at McDonald’s. The kitchen is completely open and we chose to sit at the kitchen counter to have an up close and personal view of the ‘wekes’. You can imagine my disappointment when instead of seeing slaves whipped and screaming and sweating into the food, I witnessed boring calm organization! You just can’t find good kitchen drama like you see on one of Gordon Ramsey’s shows.The food is described as Japanese, but with a twist. There are some obvious SA flavors incorporated which provide some much needed love for our country (yay... go Proteas!)And like paying tax, the bill arrives and you know that tomorrow is another day at the office where the big wheel turns, but at least you will have the blissful memory that your own sweat and screams are all for the purpose of a joyous night out on the town. — eating dinner with Haley Conolly van Aswegen at FYN Restaurant.

Unbelievable awesome

Watchout Test Kitchen and La Colombe. Fyn restaurant is absolutely brilliant.

Incredible food experience. All time top 5. Service was patchy at times and we felt we were forgotten sometimes. Wines for wine package poured too early before food arrived, leaving you with an empty glass by the time the food got to you. Food was 5 star!

A good dining experience and a must do if you wanting a Cape Town CBD culinary extravaganza..

Just outstanding hospitality, service, food, atmosphere.....

Excellent service and food

Cant wait to come back again and again!!!Really great fine dining experience!!! Strongly recommended.

My wife and I had the most fantastic experience at FYN. The service was world class and the food out of this world!

Decent food and service was really good.

Breathtaking space with an amazing adventurous menu! A must for all those who enjoy fine dining and wide and impressive wine list.

Wonderful ambiance. Awesome service.Delicious food 👌

Amazing dining experience. Up there with my favourites in fine dining.

Good experience but overall Its rather over priced.

We had a fantastic experience visiting Fyn while in Cape Town. Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and most importantly, delicious food! We savoured every bite and looked forward to the next one. I will definitely be back!

We were lucky to have stumbled on FYN while surfing the web. The website’s layout had us excited for a refined dining experience. However, it was not until we met the hostess located within a contemporary South African art gallery that we were pleasantly surprised and transported while simultaneously grounding us in reality. We were finally in the Cape Town that we flew more than 10,000 km to experience. The authentic yet exhilarating feeling you get when you step off the elevator at the fifth floor, you are immediately cognizant that you are not at just another fancy restaurant. The tasting menu only exponentially compounded this exhilarating authentic vibe the atmosphere was giving. The eclectic South Africo–Japanese fusion is seamlessly refined and was absolutely sublime. The wine pairing couldn’t have been more flawless and harmonious. It goes without saying that the wine we were served was all South African. (I took pictures to pick up a few bottles and take back home). It is appropriate to conclude this with FYN’s human element. The staff – manager and servers – were not only charming, but well-informed, witty, au courant and on-point throughout the evening. One could say they are well trained, experienced or well-managed, however, there are things that cannot be taught. While they worked as a well-oiled machine, one could sense this team–camaraderie element geared towards giving the best customer experience to ensure the restaurant’s continued success during these COVID economically difficult times. More impressively, the genuine individual personalities came across as they easily engaged with their guests throughout the evening. In short, we will be back very shortly.

Attention to detail is what makes this so worth it!!

Not every dish nailed it, but I had an ostrich egg custard with mushroom and a squid ramen dish that were probably the two most delicious dishes I have had in my entire life. Amazing setting and great service too.

What an amazing experience. The food was devine would be 10/10 some of the finest food we have ever eaten at a restaurant. This is one of the top restaurants in SA in my eyes. Wanda very good service. Highly recommended.

@fynrestaurant@vilafonte@Reciprocal Wine CompanyHad an amazing experience with Vilafonte & Reciprocal Wines at my new favorite restaurant Fyn

Unique but superb afro-japanese cuisine with excellent service and a great venue

Fine dining at its best!

Had the 9 course tasting menu. I still dream about the tofu bowel and the duck. They paired every meal with fantastic regional wines and we even got one to home. Undoubtedly the best culinary experience of my life 😨

It is a perfect experience. Food, wine paring, location, view and staff are fantastic.

I really enjoyed the food had a very Japanese feel and taste to it but that was because I had the lunch box meal, next time I intent to return for the full tasting menu. Unfortunately I wasnt able to try the wine pairing or cocktails due to the restriction but next time hopefully things are different.

A very personal thank you to Edmor , and a special thanks to Audria (and the rest of the Fyn Restaurant team). Your courteous nature,patience and precision along with a unique South African African style really enabled me to enjoy my lunch experience. If you uphold the standards that youve shared with me, I am certain well meet again. Thanks again!

One of my favorite experiences of 2020. These guys hit it out of the park with the food, atmosphere and service. A must in the CBD for a foodie.

We ordered the FYN home experience and thoroughly enjoyed it! The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. The at home heating instructions were very simple. The menu and preparation were very well thought-out and made for a real fine dining experience at home. We look forward to dining-in in the future!

Great attentive service, head chef came personally to talk with tables. Loved the care put into the sushi great ingredients, especially the Koshihikari rice!

Absolutely stunning experience and so much kudos for ensuring an incredibly happy vegan supper. Cannot wait to visit again

Fantastic food - an experience with amazing service. Met Peter - absolute dedication to create the best evening for us.Warm, friendly professional service.

Out of this world experience. The food was absolutely delicious and each course was carefully explained as it was served. Service was top notch. A night to remember.

Not cheap but memorable. Lovely experience.

Japanese South African fusion tasting menu done gluten free with wine pairing. Amazing meal and will definitely be back!

Unique dining experience. Great value for money lunch menu

One of my most loved restaurants, please plan carefully as you need a lot of time to eat and drink so many courses of the very best!

Food quality without a doubt is superior to any other restaurant with thee most amazing staffs and views.

Beautiful restaurant, fantastic service, delicious food.

This was an unique experience!! The food was amazing! In true Fyn style with international epicurean flair!! It took me on a journey to Japan. The humble pap was transformed into a creamy delight which is absolutely a stroke of genius!! The service was sleek and non intrusive. Our waiter was extremely knowledgable about the food and wines. The wines complimented the dishes! I enjoyed every dish!! Highly recommended! Absolutely stupendous!!

Great fine dining experience. Japanese cuisine with a twist

The food was on another level (newly Japanese / Nobu inspired which is always good in my mind) - kind owner and staff

The new KING has dethroned the old guard from the south....theater and experience put of this world with Peter Tempelhoffs unique take on Japanese cuisine. What an experience!!🙌

Food was average, loved the interior and the service.

The atmosphere and decor is stunning. Wine list superb and food delicious. We had the lunch menu and it was lovely. Next time we will try the full 7 course menu. Highly recommend a visit.

The food was superb and the wine pairing was excellent. While the service was top notch and staff well-trained, it was a bit difficult to get someones attention as everyone seemed extremely busy. The time in between courses was also longer than other gourmet restaurants weve been to. Be prepared for a long night for this place

Holy sh*t. That is one of the best meals I have had. Went all in with the wine pairing and didnt regret it. Service impeccable and food experience amongst the best I have had. Wine pairings were well thought out and worldly. Bravo Fyn!

A spectacular dining experience! Highly recommended!

OMG .... Fyn you are amazing!! So happy that you have got through lockdown this far... Send our best to your staff.... even though we can’t see them, they rock and have prepared Fyn quality cuisine...😁

This is truly a difficult review to write. Fyn is Fine Dining of highest standard and located at a truly great location with fantastic views. Staff was super friendly, great interior and service also great, you are not over-serviced as it is sometimes the case at other Fine Dining places in and around Cape Town.So what went wrong? The restaurant does not offer a menu choice, if you book, you get the tasting menu which is basically just short of R 1000 per person. If you chose to add the wine pairing, it will be another R 500 odd on top. The portions are very designed and in my view over the top. Flying Fish Caviar? Give me a break. I wonder who would have noticed the difference between Flying Fish and usual fish caviar.One might argue that is then simply not the place for me and that the price is reasonable for a tasting menu of that kind.I ate at a roof top restaurant of a 5* Hotel in Stone Town in Zanzibar, it was several courses and equally designed at a much more reasonable price. I just think that Fine Dining in Cape Town has gone over the top.If you are into this style, let my review not stop you from booking. The good thing is that you dont have to book 6 months in advance to be granted a table as it has been common in other Fine Dining places in Cape Town. And the setting and views are really special.

Unforgettable Fine dining experience. Food and service excellent.

Still one of the bestest in Cape Town. Spoiler alert , its worth the money.Review below:Decor: 4.5*Taste: 4.5*Value: 4* (My personal view , 100% dependent on what you place on eating as an experience)Service: 4.8*The decor and service is fantastic but I do believe it comes with the territory.The food is amazing as expected but it wont come cheap. The menu regularly updates so big ups to the chefs.

The array of cuisine served at Fyn Restaurant was simply out of this world... What a taste sensation! The friendly service was exceptional and I would definitely recommend it to everyone to try it out. Although slightly costly per head, it is in my opinion, worth every cent. The quality of the food served is simply remarkable. Note that youll need to book a table in advance since there is a waiting list, but its all worth it. 10/10 ❤️👍

Amazing mix of Japanese and South African flavors, was a fantastic dining experience all round. Wine list is very good with SA’s blockbuster wines included (as well as options from abroad), although they also have the pairing option.Might appear to be a bit on the expensive side, but considering the quality, you could easily place this in the Michelin 2 or more stars bucket...

Thanks for the beautiful table with a view. The decor is original and stunning. The food bursting with original flavour. A nod to Asian and South African. Worth every penny.

Best spot in town. Service was exceptional. Food was creative, elegant, and delicious.We had the full tasting menu with wine pairing.First the wine pairing - The staff went out of their way to explain the wine, its makers, in the context of the history of the wine region. They poured delicious wines and also some things that were older or that I hadnt tried yet (like South African dessert wine).The food - delicious! The presenation was also beautiful. Many dishes with creative use of food (ex. Squid ramen) and had sauces poured at the table.

Food and atmosphere is beyond fantastic. If you want an experience and willing to shell out some serious money I can highly recommend. Take an Uber, parking is a problem and you will want to pair the meal with wine. This is a place for special occasions.

Great Food, vibrant atmosphere. Japanese Fusion cooking at its best. Wine pairing not that great. Considering the wine available in the Western Cape, better wine pairing options should be considered. Rather order a good bottle of wine from the menu.

Wonderful culinary experience in a breath taking location.

Exquisite Japanese Food!

A fantastic place! The location is great and the staff is professional and competent. The reason for not giving five stars is due to the meat and fish being overcooked. This cannot happen on a restaurant at this level. The room is also quite noisy and is in need of some fabrics to dampen the noise level.

Really nice evening! Service was good and the food perfectly arranged. Would come back!

Great opulance.

Very amazing 👏
