Page 62 - WINE DINE AND TRAVEL FALL 2020 South Africa

All the many courses aside, we’d bet no one
skips the meal-ending sweets at either
Colombe. We didn’t. Our desserts - mixes of
fresh seasonal fruit, rich cake cubes, cookie
crumble, refreshing gelatos and more - per-
fectly capped two memorable meals.
As we arranged the foodie part of our
Winelands visit, we came across several re-
views that lamented the Michelin Guide’s ab-
sence from Africa. That’s a significant loss for
the sophisticated restaurant scene in South
Africa and the growing number of travelers
coming to partake. If the venerable guide
should reconsider - and it should, for certain it
would hang stars on the two Colombes.
