PARIS 19 Feb (ANA) - A small beach-side South African restaurant specialising in local seafood has won the top prize at the inaugural World Restaurant Awards in Paris.

 

The Wolfgat, whose six staff have no formal training, opened two years ago in a cottage and cave on the remote beach at Paternoster, in West Cape province.

 

Head Chef Kobus van der Merwe forages daily for ingredients on the seashore.

 

He has promised not to hike prices after winning the prize, with the tasting menu currently costing $60 (£46). (ANA)
