Salsify and FYN both claim spots on prestigious list
So here's a bit of a brainteaser which may require you to reach for a Panado or two... Salsify at the Roundhouse has just been named in 88th spot and FYN in 82nd place on The World's 50 Best Restaurants Top 100 list. The question you may be pondering now is, how do you make the 82nd and 88th spots on a top 50 list? Well, you see, this particular list highlights the 50 best restaurants globally as their flagship list, but then they also have a secondary extended list of the next best in the world - it's kind of a preview to the restaurants who are likely to have a go at cracking the top 50 one day. I told you that Panado would come in handy. The news broke on Thursday and to say that Salsify head chef Nina du Toit is happy would be an understatement. 'I am so proud of what we have accomplished, it has been a dream to be on the list, and it has been many years of consistent growth and hard work,' says Nina. Since opening its doors in 2018, Salsify has become known and celebrated for its insistence on the preservation of heritage; paying tribute to history, stories and ingredients while creating outstanding light, delicate dishes. FYN's Peter Tempelhoff shares the delight felt by du Toit, saying: 'To be recognised by the World's 50 Best for the fifth time is an extraordinary honour. This is a celebration of the whole team - from our kitchen and service brigades to our foragers, farmers, fishermen and ceramicists. FYN is the product of a deeply collaborative ecosystem, and this recognition is for everyone who plays apart in creating the FYN experience. We are very grateful.' Fun fact about FYN FYN is the only African establishment to be awarded the top-tier three-star rating from the Food Made Good Standard in 2025 - the global benchmark for ethical hospitality. Fun fact about Salsify Last year, Salsify erected an immersive ceiling installation of thousands of meticulously folded flowers made from old Salsify menus – dating back to the restaurant's opening in 2018 – symbolising both the evolution of the restaurant and its commitment to sustainability. Each flower tells a story of culinary creativity and the team's dedication to reducing waste and preserving the essence of what Salsify stands for.

Dundee motorcycle crash leaves father fighting for recovery
The biking community is rallying to support local rider Jono Pienaar, who suffered a life-altering motorcycle accident on Saturday, May 31. Riding home from a charity Poker Run to pick up his daughter, Jono was struck head-on by a car that pulled out in front of him near the Engen Garage on Karel Landman Street. Initially released from the hospital with only Panado syrup, Jono's condition worsened overnight. After a house call by a local doctor, it was confirmed he had sustained severe trauma to his groin and pelvic area, leaving him unable to walk. An update on June 3 from friend Esme Steenkamkp revealed a pelvic dislocation fracture requiring a brace for four to eight weeks. The brace alone costs between R3,000 and R4,000. With Jono bedridden and his wife, Paige, forced to take leave to provide round-the-clock care, the family is struggling to keep food on the table. 'Friends, neighbours and fellow riders are asking anyone who can to contribute whatever they can to help Jono's family weather this crisis. Any donation—no matter how small—will go directly toward groceries, medical needs and basic living expenses until he can return to work. 'To support Jono and his family, please go to the Back a Buddy page to help Jono. Your generosity will make a real difference as he begins the long road to recovery,' said friend and fundraising organiser, Jackie Vermuelen.
