The opening of the country&#8217;s International borders, albeit only as of 1 October, appears to have had little impact on the Restaurant industry to date.<\/p>\n<p>On my latest Restaurant Closure list I have 73 Restaurants in Cape Town and the Winelands which have closed down, an increase of only 3 Restaurant Closures in the past month. Clarke\u2019s and Dahlia on Regent announced their permanent closure, but have reopened. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Restaurant Closure and Opening Lists are updated continuously throughout the month.<\/p>\n<p>The Restaurant industry is one of the hardest hit due to the Corona Virus in South Africa, having had to endure five weeks of complete closure in Level 5, then restricted to Food Deliveries in May, allowed to offer Alcohol Sales and Food Collections during June, and then allowed to offer Sit-Down Service without on-site alcohol consumption since Monday 29 June. \u00a0As an industry employing an estimated 800000 employees, the UIF and TERS problems it has had to endure in receiving (or not) staff payment has exacerbated the state of the restaurant industry, described by Chefs Warehouse Chef Liam Tomlin earlier this week as being reduced to nothing more than one of Coffee shops! A number of restaurants have decided to reopen for Sit-Down Service for the first time since the Lockdown, given that they can now offer on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages. Some ate continuing to offer the Delivery and Collection of Food.<\/p>\n<p>A shock closure announced by Chef Luke Dale Roberts during Lockdown Level 5 was that of The Shortmarket Club. \u00a0Myoga at the Vineyard Hotel, Buitenverwachting Restaurant (under the guidance of Chef Edgar Osojnik for the past 20 years), The Stack, Exhibit A of top chef Rikku O\u2019Donnch\u00fc, Terroir at Klein\u2019s Zalze, and The Kitchen of Karen Dudley have also thrown in the towel, with many other Restaurants too. \u00a0(see below)<\/p>\n<p>New restaurant openings seemed unlikely during Lockdown, but a few new restaurants have opened, four new restaurants have opened or are opening in Franschhoek in the next three months, which is excellent news. Chef Peter Tempelhoff announced the opening of a new \u2018funky\u2019 restaurant in Cape Town on Kfm a few months ago, but no further details of its name, location, or opening date are known. A good news story is the reopening of Tintswalo Kitchen, with a new name, new menu, and headed up by Executive Chef Sean Klebbe, formerly of The Shortmarket Club. Surprisingly Chef Arno Janse van Rensburg has left his own restaurant Janse &amp; Co, but his future plans have not yet been revealed, other than that his next venture will be in Cape Town. The Village n Life Group, owners of The Bay Hotel in Camps Bay, Pezula in Knysna, and The Farmhouse Hotel in Langebaan, is looking for \u2018<i>dynamic operational teams to take over incredible restaurant spaces\u2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"fkFZoYriM3\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/cape-town\/franschhoek-restaurants-during-lockdown-which-are-open-closed-and-opening-soon\/\">Franschhoek Restaurants during Lockdown: which are open, closed, and opening soon!<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Franschhoek Restaurants during Lockdown: which are open, closed, and opening soon!&#8221; &#8212; Whale Tales Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/cape-town\/franschhoek-restaurants-during-lockdown-which-are-open-closed-and-opening-soon\/embed\/#?secret=fkFZoYriM3\" data-secret=\"fkFZoYriM3\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>PLEASE NOTE: \u00a0The List of Restaurant Closures below is the property of WhaleTales Blog, and may not be copy-and-pasted.
