HOWZAT! In a survey conducted by The Inside Guide, 38 of the best chefs in South Africa were asked where they like to eat in Cape Town and surrounds when taking a break from their own restaurants. Voted ‘favourite winelands experience’ experience was Overture at Hidden Valley on the slopes of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch, with the nod for ‘best restaurant overall’ going to Chefs Warehouse at Beau Constantia – both among the Top 10 in the country at the 2017 Eat Out Awards.
