\"\"<\/a>Each year I attempt a prediction of the Eat Out <\/b>Top 10 Restaurants in South Africa<\/a>, from the restaurant guide\u2019s Top 30 nomination short list. Each year it seems to get more difficult to predict which restaurants will make the top of the grade, the new Head Judge Margot Janse pulling many surprise punches in her Top 10 List last year, and even this year in her Top 30 nominations list. On Sunday 17 November the Restaurant industry \u2018Oscars\u2019 will be presented to the Top 10 South African Restaurants at GrandWest.<\/p>\n
