RICHARD LYON, GM ONE&ONLY CAPE TOWN ~ WELCOME!

The One&Only Reaching for Young Stars is the major showcase in the Western Cape for our superb culinary academies who put forward some of their finest and most talented young students, all vying for top honours. Over the years this programme has proved to be remarkably successful drawing the royalty of our hospitality world together providing a platform for our executive chefs, cooks, pastry chefs, bakers, winemakers, wine stewards and sommeliers to come together offering a growth path and the stimulus to continue growing while encouraging and giving the students the means to prove themselves leading to career advancement and ultimately recognition.

Over the last nine years, One&Only Cape Town, has generously hosted the ‘Reaching for Young Stars’ Awards. GM Richard Lyon has been a pillar of support throughout, making it possible for the winners to have far reaching opportunities to further their careers abroad.
