EAT OUT MAGAZINE!
Who won the Woolworths TASTE Eat Out Bursary Award?
So glad to see Mosaic is back in the TOP 10 again!! Chantel is a creative genius.
It would be most useful if you said where the winners restaurants are.
Barbara, each listed restaurant has a link built in to its name. Just click on it and you will be diverted to the restaurant’s page on the Eat Out Website. Easy peasy.
In my opinion the No1 spot should have gone to Rust & Vrede. On Saturday eve the team impressed me and my friends and have scored massive points. We will wherever we go, recommend and invite our friends and contacts to this wonderful restaurant, managed by a great team. Thanks.
Chantel Dartnall is the best !!! Well done !!! Am blessed to have experienced your food …. all be it only once I’ll never forget it !!!
Sorry but this seems like an exclusive Western Cape competition by the looks of the winners
So well done my ultimate heroes berths basso and Martin us ferries you guys are awesome
[…] Click here to see all the other winners – congratulations to you all! […]
It seems like an exclusive Western Cape competition by the looks of the winners year after year I cannot believe more KZN or Gauteng restaurants feature in the top 10
I wonder where all the judges are based
MM i think i agree with you Louis
Terroir nr. 10 ???? should not be on the list,price quality ratio is very poor.
Disappointing. Looks like a list of the best CT has to offer but sad however that the judges do not seem to have crossed the border often enough and experienced real gourmet foods of KZN, Gauteng and the rest of SA.
DW-11-13 still my number 1
That may be so but have you tried “500”? that is one amazing experience!!!
Pricey but unbelievable!!
Congratulations !!!
Congratulations Chantel.We are very proud of you. And to the rest of the team at Restaurant Mosaic, well done.
