Protege manages to combine a fine dining experience with a casual touch. You don't feel out of place even though it is quit a fancy place. The whole staff makes you feel right at home and comfortable and it doesn't feel stiff at all. The food does give the same feeling; fancy and fine, but again really casual and comfortable food. Definitely would recommend it to everyone; from friends to parents to business meetings.

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.
- Lynda Ingham-Brown, Eat Out

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.
