Luke Dale-Roberts was appointed as executive chef of La Colombe in November 2006 and has since made his mark at this award-winning restaurant by adding exciting new Asian influences to the mix of classic and contemporary French Cuisine. Luke has elevated the dining experience, winning the 2008 Prudential Eat Out Chef of the Year and Restaurant of the Year award, being voted one of the top 50 restaurants in the world by the San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards 2009 and, most recently, achieving the highest three star rating in the 2009 issue of the acclaimed Rossouw’s Restaurants guide

Luke’s culinary creations are for the discerning diner in search of imagination and superb technique. He starts with the thought that "A dish has to be understandable and have bold flavours. From that I build it and add textures and presentation. I’m always tweaking and refining to find a dish’s full potential. My mantra is ‘taste, taste, taste!' A meal at La Colombe is one of Cape Town’s greatest pleasures." With impeccable Service and an Award Winning Wine List, La Colombe is a truly unforgettable experience!
