CAPE ON A PLATE
Cape Town; a city that hugs the crystal-clear Atlantic, kicks back onto rolling green hills and is crammed full of sloping streets with laneways of rainbow-painted houses and high rises.
A tourist guide will have you chasing whales, climbing Table Mountain and visiting some incredible museums. All great ways to spend your time in Cape Town. But let’s not mess around. We’re here for the food, and this is a city full of delicious spots to eat and drink, making it South Africa’s top foodie destination.
South Africa’s colonial past has made for an abundantly complex and delicious cuisine layered with taste, culture and history. While Dutch, French and German influences lend European flair, at the heart of most meals are indigenous cooking methods and the spice, chillies and dried fruits of the Cape Malay people. Today’s South African cuisine is a complex melting pot, a way of cooking that respects the past by redefining and embracing a new, delicious future.
