Carstens’ cooking offers a playful twist on favourite South African dishes while focusing on seasonal ingredients and tantalising textures. Carstens said it’s encouraging to receive such recognition from the media and peers.
Carstens joined Tokara as head chef in October 2010 and during the four years he has been there he has ensured that the restaurant remains both popular and credible. Carstens, a one-time
Eat Out Chef of The Year, is no stranger to
Eat Out accolades and is regarded as a chef who is constantly evolving and consistently innovative. His food is exciting and, as always, totally in keeping with what the best in the world are offering diners from their kitchens.
