What a treat! Protege did not disappoint. The food is so beautifully presented, you almost feel guilty eating it. But when you do - wow! The burst of flavours that come through with every bite is mind blowing. We enjoyed the reduced Restaurant Week menu - 4 courses of culinary delight. Our food was presented by the different chefs who were involved with the preparation and they explained what we were eating. The wine was perfectly paired with each course. We were so enthralled that I forgot to photograph the first 3 courses - sorry, not sorry…

The wagyu first course was tasty. An innovate way to experience and appreciate wagyu. We also enjoyed the lamb chops.
Friendly and experienced staff. Will come back for dinner!

About Protégé

Cuisine: Fine Dining

Protégé hits all the spots with a refined, flavour-packed approach to casual fine-dining, a concept that seems to be on the rise lately.

About Protégé

Protégé is an exciting new casual fine dining eatery under the guidance of previous Eat Out Chef of the Year, La Colombe’s Scot Kirton.

Scot is proud to be part of the process of recognising young talented chefs and giving them the opportunity to put themselves on the map. In keeping with this, the restaurant was aptly named Protégé.

Jess van Dyk will head the kitchen team. Jess has been working closely with Scot and James Gaag for many years and was most recently the head chef at La Colombe.

The idea with Protégé is to keep it casual and comfortable. Jess is working with local suppliers to keep the menu as fresh and as seasonal as possible. “I could not be prouder of having Jess lead the team. She has given me so much over the years and now it’s time for me to help her achieve her dreams.” says Kirton.
