Cape Town restaurant ranked amongst world’s best

Every year, the Traveller’s Choice Awards lists the top restaurants and attractions in specific categories, based on reviews on the TripAdvisor website.

The awards are based on the number of positive online reviews received from patrons and customers. The ranking is calculated from the ratings received by online reviewers over a 12-month period.

WORLD-CLASS DINING AT LA COLOMBE

It is not the first time that La Colombe has been mentioned in The Traveller’s Choice Awards.

La Colombe is the only restaurant on the African continent that has made it onto the list again this year. This is proof that Cape Town is able to compete on a global stage.

“Being the only restaurant mentioned on the African continent, it proves that Cape Town can compete with the best fine-dining restaurants in the world,” Cape Town’s mayor Dan Plato said.

NOMINATION BY LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL RESTAURANT PATRONS

La Colombe was listed as the thirteenth best fine dining restaurant in the world, chosen by TripAdvisor’s reviews from local and foreign patrons. The restaurant is highly regarded for the quality and taste of its meals.

What is remarkable is that this award is earned from customers and patrons themselves, not from a panel of judges. This is testament to the fact that La Colombe has earned this global recognition.   

“We would like to congratulate La Colombe Executive Head Chef James Gaag and his talented team for doing our city proud,” Cape Town’s mayor said.

THE PERFECT RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE AT LA COLOMBE

La Colombe is situated along the Constantia wine route. Wine connoisseurs will also be able to enjoy some of the finest wines produced in the Cape.

Patrons are assured a world-class dining experience, in a magnificent setting. The menu also caters for vegetarian diners.

La Colombe has sister restaurant called La Petite Colombe, which is a smaller establishment offering the same exceptional quality and service.

La Petite Colombe is currently located at Le Quartier Hotel in Franschhoek. On 6 November 2020, La Petite Colombe will be moving to new premises at Leeu Estates and will be set amid beautiful gardens. With spectacular mountain views and a glorious riverside setting, diners are assured of an exceptional dining experience at La Petite Colombe.
