\"\"<\/a>The poor economic conditions in our country currently is manifesting in the very few new restaurants opening for the new summer season, most such new openings usually taking place in September. Where many new restaurants are opening, they are changing the name and concept of existing ones, rather than being brand new, or adding other restaurants in a restaurant group\u2019s portfolio. <\/p>\n

Two exciting top-end restaurant openings are those of Exhibit A (owned by highly acclaimed Chef Rikku O\u2019Donnch\u00fc and Chef Warwick King, who left G\u00e5te restaurant earlier this year), opening in the city centre on 1 November; and of La Ch\u00eane at Leeu Estates in Franschhoek. Interesting is that a number of new restaurants have opened on Kloof Street, our former Cape Town Restaurant Street before Bree Street took over, <\/p>\n
