Gaag says, \u201cWe\u2019re speechless. It\u2019s such an incredible honour for our team\u2019s consistent work and dedication to be recognised at this level. To not only represent the La Colombe team, but also our home city of Cape Town on this stage is an immense privilege.

Tamsin Snyman, The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy Chair for South and East Africa, says \u201cTeam La Colombe have worked incredibly hard to be on this hugely important list. I am not surprised at their ranking; it is long overdue, and they now shine a spotlight not only on their genius talent, but also on our far-flung region. This will encourage more people to visit South Africa, so we can showcase our culinary talents across the board and reassure everyone that we are a world-class dining destination\u201d<\/p>\n

These awards reflect and celebrate the richness and diversity of the world’s culinary landscape, and, mark the latest in La Colombe\u2019s continued pursuit of international culinary excellence and collaboration. Gaag recently completed his month-long residency as the featured chef at Restaurant Ikarus at Red Bull\u2019s Hangar 7 in Austria, as well as spearheading a series of ‘Four Hands Collaboration Dinners’ with British Michelin-starred chef, Adam Handling MBE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chef Proprietor, Scot Kirton, comments: \u201cIt\u2019s a great honour to have La Colombe recognised among the world\u2019s best restaurants. Year after year this team makes me so incredibly proud \u2013 congratulations to James, Aaron and the entire team that keeps driving the restaurant to new heights. These awards mean so much to everyone involved, and it\u2019s great to see all the hard work over the years being recognised on a global scale .\u201d<\/p>\n
