With its launch in May 2016, the first JHP Gourmet Guide received applause from chefs, the industry and diners for being South Africa’s complete impartial restaurant rating, subscribing to international standards.
There are no restaurant nor hotel advertisements – it is neutral and unbiased, with restaurants initially judged anonymously.
Only 21 restaurants and their chefs are awarded plates.
The plating rating
• One plate is awarded for excellent cuisine
• Two plates are awarded for exceptional dining that demands a detour
• Three plates are awarded for world-class destination dining worthy of a flight
The Swiss Culinary Innovation Award 2018, presented by Swiss International Air Lines, was won by female chef Chantel Dartnall – this was an assurance that the JHP Gourmet Guide team knows what it takes to evaluate the intricacies of culinary expertise. With the guide being a conduit, this year will see South African chefs from plated restaurants competing in Taittinger’s le Culinaire Prix, the world’s oldest and most prestigious chef competition.
"I am incredibly proud of this award and the JHP Gourmet Guide team, our partners and our chefs in South Africa. The guide showcases their talents," says Jenny Handley, curator and author.
