The Wolfgat restaurant in Paternoster, South Africa, was named as The Restaurant of The Year at the new World Restaurant Awards in Paris.
Run by chef Kobus van der Merwe, the remote restaurant is inside a small beachside cottage with a focus on cooking the local ingredients from the coast, land and surrounding water.
Kobus van der Merwe focuses on lots of oceanic ingredients alongside the powerful tasting and very colorful succulents found just in front of the restaurant.
Serving just 20 people every sitting, the restaurant offers a series of tasting dishes that are presented over seven-courses. These are peppered with unique ingredients, local lamb and venison, indigenous edible plants called veldkos, wild herbs, seaweeds and homemade pickles.
