What Alessandro Frittitta likes about Protege:
My best meal during my one week stay in the Western Cape. Cozy location, attentive service, curated menu fearing impeccably presented dishes bursting with flavours and complexity, all washed down with superb wine pairing choices. Thank you for a memorable night. I can’t wait to be back. View all feedback. What Michael Cooper doesn't like about Protege:
Sorry guys. We went to Pier a few days back so we have a comparison. Unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. The show and service and ambiance was there but the food was just bland. Korean chicken really is better in KFC. The King fish was jelly and tasteless. The first dishes (bread +tartar) were great and the only ones we enjoyed. Cocktails were ok. Staff was very helpful and nice, though! View all feedback.

I really loved dishes inspired by Korean dishes! An excellent service, very professional staff, a lively open kitchen and vegetarian options were wonderful.

Stunning meal, service and wine. We will back. We had the sprint tasting menu with wine paring, the best meal we had in South Africa.
