Amazing experience. All of the dishes were executed perfectly. Innovative. This restaurant could be in many city in the world and succeed. Well done! Also as an American the prices here are extremely reasonable if not cheap.

Really fantastic evening. Each dish was solid although not all were spectacular, the wine pairings were excellent. The highlight was the service, relaxed and fun but slick and informative.

Nice cozy restaurant...a must the rib eye beef, the tuna with jalapeños mayo and the impala fillet...amazing food in a great environment. Love the music and the staff...don’t miss it if you’re in Cape Town!

Absolutely LOVED the experience! Inventive fine dining that pays homage to the best of the Cape's local, seasonal produce.

THE COUPLE • You know those nights where you're dying for a salad⁉️ Well it's safe to say that last night was NOT one of those nights😈 When your options are mediocrity or excellence, ALWAYS choose the latter😎 • THE COOKBOOK • DRY AGED BEEF, grilled on charcoal paired with POMMES ANNA, lemon mayo and thyme, accompanied by GARLIC BUTTER MASH with gravy😍 . HAY SMOKED TROUT with dill, buttermilk rye, roe, mustard seeds, and smoked cream cheese💥 • THE CHEF • “I wouldn’t sleep well if we didn’t cook sustainably or try to preserve what we have. It's very hard; locally sourced is WAY more expensive. But for me it's the only way. . It’s been a tough couple of months with the current drought and it’s affecting a lot of the produce as well. Sourcing locally, already limits in what’s available, so it’s a challenge getting your hands on ingredients, especially at the quality that you want. . When I opened @ash_restaurant at 26, I was extremely naive and every day was a learning curve. Thankfully, I gained experience by cutting my teeth in some of the toughest restaurants in South Africa and Europe. What can I say… I'm a sucker for punishment but my goal has always been to simply work with the best. . Over the years I spent a lot of time on the grill and loved it. Live fire cooking is so interesting and unpredictable, but the flavor from cooking over coals can't be beaten. Cooking with charcoal is such a challenge. It's all about consistency and that's hard to achieve with the grill. Honestly, it's a lot of gut feeling and on hand training. Nevertheless, my only concern is that the people at the table are happy, regardless of how hard we have to work to achieve that goal. It's all about being honest with the customer and myself and providing the caliber of cuisine that our customers deserve. . Fortunately, I have a great team and my sister Mandy can run the place with her eyes closed. Working together with my sister works bloody well! Moreover, everyone in the kitchen has been here more or less since we opened. We tend to hire people with a "go and get it" attitude and that’s what keeps our energy up!” ~ Ash @Grand_Master_Ash
