DATE:

FABER continues to make waves in the culinary world with a series of prestigious awards and nominations, recognising its unwavering commitment to excellence.

We are thrilled to announce that FABER has been selected as a winner in the Culinary Experiences category of the Best Of Wine Tourism Awards by Wesgro. This honour further cements FABER’s standing as one of South Africa’s premier culinary destinations. Head Chef Dale Stevens, and Kat Stevens, attended the esteemed awards ceremony on 16 October at Hoseki Restaurant in Stellenbosch.

Adding to this momentum, FABER proudly ranked No. 17 in the Dineplan Reviewers’ Choice Awards 2024, an outstanding accomplishment that highlights the restaurant’s dedication to providing memorable dining experiences. This accolade, based on diner feedback, reflects FABER’s focus on quality, creativity, and its farm-to-fork philosophy. Commenting on the recognition, Chef Dale Stevens said, “What makes this so special is that it’s you, our valued guests, who have acknowledged our efforts, making it all the more meaningful, personal, and motivational. Thank you.”

FABER’s excellence continues to attract attention from the world of fine dining, with an invitation to the JHP Gourmet Guide Awards on Monday, 28 October 2024, further showcasing its influence on the South African gourmet scene.

With these awards and recognitions, FABER continues to shine as a culinary destination, embodying the vision of seasonal, sustainable, and sophisticated cuisine in the heart of the Cape Winelands. Front of House Manager Kat expressed her excitement, commenting, “This is a testament to the team’s hard work over the years, elevating our service to this level in such a stunning setting. We can’t wait to welcome you soon!”
