Salsify at The Roundhouse — Modern South African / Fine Dining, Camps Bay
Salsify at The Roundhouse is the most celebrated restaurant in Camps Bay and one of the most recognised in the world: Eat Out Restaurant of the Year at the 2025 Eat Out Woolworths Awards and ranked #88 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list for 2025. The ten-course tasting experience celebrates local ingredients — from foraged herbs to line-caught fish — presented with precision and quiet confidence in the historic Roundhouse building above Camps Bay.
The cooking at Salsify reflects the extraordinary ingredient landscape of the Cape: the cold Atlantic seafood of the Cape coastline, the organic farms of the Western Cape interior, the foraged herbs and plants of the fynbos biome, and the wines of the surrounding valleys all appear in dishes that demonstrate what South African fine dining looks like when it is operating at the highest international level.
The wine programme draws on the Cape’s most accomplished producers with the knowledge of a kitchen that has spent years building relationships with the people who grow the best ingredients and make the best wine in the country.
Salsify is the restaurant that makes Camps Bay a serious gastronomic destination rather than simply the Cape’s most beautiful beach suburb. The World’s 50 Best ranking places it in the company of the finest restaurants on earth; the ten-course tasting experience justifies the comparison.
