CARNE SA
FOR PIONEERING THE FINE-DINING STEAKHOUSE IN SA
Award-winning chef-proprietor Giorgio Nava’s name is synonymous with the
celebration of premium-quality meat cooked to perfection. For the past nine years,
Capetonians have enjoyed the very best beef, lamb and venison at his flagship
fine-dining steakhouse in Keerom Street, just a stone’s throw from the Cape Town
High Court. With signature dishes such as the 1.2 kg La Florentina T-bone (definitely
intended to share – as long as you agree on how you like your meat done!), and the
likes of bresaola with lemon juice and olive oil, and Karoo lamb with sautéed spinach,
carnivores are truly spoilt for choice. Here, and at the newer branch on Kloof Street,
patrons can rely on staff to be well-informed about everything from where the animal
was raised, to ageing techniques and the flavour of the meat. This attention to detail
saw Carne SA winning the Eat Out DStv Food Network Restaurant Award for Best
Steakhouse in SA in 2014. (Giorgio’s Italian fine-dining restaurant,
95 Keerom, took the award for Best Italian Restaurant in 2013). So when
you come to Keerom Street, come hungry! carne-sa.com

WILLOUGHBY AND CO.
FOR MAKING AUTHENTIC
SUSHI ACCESSIBLE
Queuing in a mall? For sushi? Well
yes, for 21 years Capetonians (who,
let’s face it, are spoilt for choice when
it comes to restaurants with views),
have willingly been doing exactly
that for sushi chef Sammy's famous
creations. Since opening in the
Victoria Wharf at the V&A Waterfront
in 1996, Willoughby’s (as it’s fondly
known to devotees) has consistently
created new mouthwatering seafood
platters and fusion-style Japanese
cuisine, but it’s the sushi that has
locals and tourists standing in line
(there’s a no-reservations policy – but
you are welcome to sip a glass of
wine while you wait). You won’t regret
the chance to build up an appetite for
the chilli-seared tuna sashimi and
Rainbow Reloaded rolls dressed with
soya sauce, seven spice and sesame
oil. willoughbyandco.co.za
