We had a lovely and tasty lunch at the Testkitchen Fledgling. The menu was quite delicious with the snoek pate, pork belly and the bouillabaisse being the highlights. We didn’t love the taco starter which was not exciting from a flavor perspective and the soft corn tortilla had gone hard which was strange and uncomfortable to eat. But overall a fantastic experience! Thank you
My wife and I attended with our 6 month old. Service was amazing and they even had a high chair for baby. Super welcoming and the food was so good! Highly recommend
Lovely experience and creative menu. Plating was a little fussy and ambiance a little loud but very good flavours.
The food was impeccable. Beautifully balanced flavors, attentive service! I would definitely return 👍🏻

We’re a place where dreams come true.
We’re TTK Fledgelings.
In the elegant space once home to award-winning restaurant The Test Kitchen, TTK Fledgelings was founded with a simple goal: to offer those with no access to formal chef’s or guest service training – but boundless passion and determination – the opportunity to carve out a career in the hospitality.
With a focus on in-service training, under the mentorship of restaurateur Luke Dale Roberts and Head Chef Nathan Clarke, our ‘Fledgelings’ learn the trade while working. Similarly, the front-of-house staff are coached to host guests by mentors who work alongside them. Each Fledgeling is employed full-time while receiving invaluable on-the-job training.
Our hope is for the Fledgelings to hone their skills at the coalface of a professional restaurant, whether it’s behind the pass or out on the floor. It’s a long process – a slow simmer, not a rapid boil – but by the end, we are proud to produce seasoned chefs and talented service staff.
So come and join us at TTK Fledgelings, where dreams are cooked up alongside some of the best food Cape Town has to offer. Look forward to a delicious adventure of elevated yet approachable cuisine, made with love and plated with passion.
