Fyn
No.82 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef

Veronica's Take
Fyn, perched on the fifth floor of a 19th-century silk factory in Cape Town, is a culinary pilgrimage that just snagged the No.82 spot on the World's 50 Best 2025 list. Chef Ashley Moss and Peter Tempelhoff are the masterminds behind this daring fusion of African storytelling and Japanese precision, where dishes like hazelnut-crusted springbok with salt-baked celeriac, black figs, and mountain sage redefine the tasting menu experience. General manager Jennifer Hugé ensures the dining room runs with impeccable grace, while the team also fuels a ramen bar called Ramenhead downstairs, making Fyn a dual destination for both the refined and the casual epicurean.
