Only one African restaurant made the prestigious list.

Elite Traveler's top 100 restaurants across the world for 2019 features a fine establishment from Africa.

Ranked in the 45th position is 'The Test Kitchen' which is housed in an old biscuit mill in Cape Town, South Africa.

More accolades

This is not the first time the restaurant has received such high praise.

Earlier this year, it was voted the 44th Best Restaurant in the world and the best in Africa for the second year in a row. It had already made the list twice before 2018.

This made Dale-Roberts the only chef in Africa whose restaurant has been featured four times.

“Since its inception in 2010, I’ve always wanted to feature on the list. It really has become an excellent reflection of who is making waves in the international food arena," he said.

The Test Kitchen is currently regarded as one of the most popular restaurants in Cape Town which explains why it takes a while (there is a three-month waiting list) to get a reservation.
