What happened

In central Cape Town, far from the idyll that is Boschendal, home to Arum, the newest restaurant in the FYN Group, the group’s head honcho Peter Tempelhoff is moving his original Ramenhead to a much busier location.

Why it matters

Ramenhead, the collective’s authentic Japanese ramen bar, is currently situated in Parliament Street, at street level below the premises where FYN sits with its Table Mountain view.

Common ground

But the foot traffic in Parliament Street is not what it could be.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
