About Us

Protégé is an exciting new casual fine dining eatery under the guidance of previous Eat Out Chef of the Year, La Colombe’s Scot Kirton

Scot is proud to be part of the process of recognising young talented chefs and giving them the opportunity to put themselves on the map. In keeping with this, the restaurant was aptly named Protégé.

Zane Soutar will head the kitchen team. Zane has been working closely with Scot and James Gaag for many years and was most recently the sous chef at Epice.

The idea with Protégé is to keep it casual and comfortable. Zane is working with local suppliers to keep the menu as fresh and as seasonal as possible. “I could not be prouder of having Zane lead the team. He has given me so much over the years and now it’s time for me to help him achieve his dreams.” says Kirton.
