Gourmet Guide Description

In the iconic Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock, you’ll be welcomed by a sea of smiling faces. Behind the scenes, an ensemble of passionate chefs, led by the meticulous eye of head chef Nathan Clarke, orchestrate a symphony of gastronomic brilliance. The former fine-dining luxury of The Test Kitchen has been softened, with cutlery housed in pewter tankards on tables still covered in white linen. Humbling service elevates the dining experience. Passion and purpose resonate throughout, with each team member exuding enthusiasm and dedication. Here, the kitchen isn’t just a place of heat and pressure; it’s a vibrant stage where every beat is felt, creating an edible future.

Clarke’s journey from kitchen sculler to cooking maestro embodies the essence of this mentorship programme. Aspiring students learn under the tutelage of culinary luminary Luke Dale Roberts and his seasoned management team, being mentored and compensated for their dedication to mastering the craft.

From Cape Malay to Asian delights on two enticing menu options: indulge in the casual offerings of the à la carte menu featuring Wagyu burgers and comforting classics, or opt for the curated ‘Fully Fledged’ set menu. From the tantalising Korean-fried chicken with ponzu emulsion to the exquisite lobster bao accompanied by the city’s finest chips, every plate tells a story of craftsmanship and global inspiration. Savour the vivacious flavours of prawn dumplings immersed in fragrant broth, or the artistry of duck ravioli presented with understated elegance.

    Fantastic venue for dinner! We particularly enjoyed the duck salad and beef fillet! Service was impeachable and the ambience was perfect for our romantic dinner.

    This is more than a restaurant. This is an experience that you have to go to believe and see for yourself from the moment you walk in to the last moment you walk out this is a unique gastronomical treat with service to match and I doubt it can be beaten anywhere in southern Africa let alone Cape Town.

    Really enjoyed my visit to the Test Kitchen! The food was super tasty and fresh—everything we ordered hit the spot. Portion sizes were just right, and the prices were totally reasonable, which is always a plus. The vibe of the restaurant was great too—nice atmosphere, comfortable seating, and a place you can actually have a conversation without shouting. Perfect for a chill night out or even a casual date. Definitely planning to come back soon!
