Taste of Cape Town

Sophisticated, fun and utterly delicious, Taste of Cape Town is the city's sexiest food festival

Now in its second year, Taste is set to tantalise yet again with Cape Town’s top 18 restaurants.

If you love dining out in style and fancy sampling the fabulous fare of 18 of Cape Town’s top restaurants, get to Taste of Cape Town from 2- 5 April 2009 at the Jan Van Riebeeck Sports Field off Kloofnek Road.

The festival, building on its reputation as the most exciting food and drink event of the year, has yet again rounded up some of the city’s most talented chefs who will personally prepare and serve sample sizes of their signature dishes.

Taste Festivals are an international concept celebrating the best in food and drink a city has to offer. Imagine a selection of the Cape’s finest local produce, (available to be sampled and purchased at the show),a beautiful sun-drenched outdoor venue and the city’s most prestigious restaurants, all enjoyed against a spectacular mountain backdrop complete with live music and entertainment.

In addition, some of the world’s premium drink brands will be brought to life at Taste of Cape Town, in tailor-made areas within the festival – chill-out zones that let you escape the hustle and bustle of the show for a while.

The Taste Festival also will also feature The Pick n Pay Fresh Living Chef’s Theatre, The “Beer Academy” and “Beer Experience” as well as The Checkers Wine Route.
