Last night, we had the honour of attending the Restaurant Association of South Africa’s glittering awards ceremony at The Venue in Fourways, where the country’s Top 100 Restaurants were unveiled. We are beyond proud to announce that NEKED Food has been recognised for the second year in a row!
This isn’t just a win for us—it’s a triumph for plant-based dining in South Africa. With over 30,000 registered restaurants in the country, the competition is nothing short of fierce. What makes this recognition even more special is that there wasn’t a separate vegan, vegetarian, or plant-based category—we were up against the “big boys,” the giants of the culinary world. And once again, we proved that plant-based food can stand shoulder to shoulder with the very best!
Why This Matters
This award highlights something we’ve always believed: food doesn’t need to fit into a box to be exceptional. At NEKED Food, we’ve always focused on creating dishes that surprise and delight, proving that plant-based dining is not just an alternative—it’s a revolution. Being named among South Africa’s best is a testament to the fact that great food transcends labels.
