South Africa: A restaurant in Paternoster earns a spot in World’s 50 Best!

A small restaurant with only 20 diners per sitting located on South Africa's West Coast has just been included in the prestigious list of "The World's 50 Best Restaurants". Wolfgat, which has secured the 50th spot in the 2021 list, is situated in a charming revamped 130 years old fisherman’s cottage in Paternoster in the Western Cape. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience showcasing a selection of indigenous ingredients specific to its coastal location. Wolfgat is owned by chef Kobus van der Merwe, who has been compared to Copenhagen chef René Redzepi for his love of foraging and championing local produce. Kudos Kobus and congratulations to your team!

NB.: Wolfgat is not only the 50th best restaurant in the world, it has also been named "Best Restaurant in Africa"! In September 2021, "The World's 50 Best Restaurants" announced the runners-up list of restaurants in positions 51 to 100. Two South African restaurants made the list: La Colombe in Constantia at 81, and FYN in Cape Town's City Centre at 92. Congratulations!
