Have you heard of snoek? Injeera? Koesusters? Daaltjies? Ulusu? Umngqusho?
These are just some of the food we have in Cape Town.
Discover the city through our food!
With the incredible diversity of people in the city, you can imagine the kind of diversity of foods we have. So the Cuisine Route was designed to give guests the chance to explore the city through food. It's a great lense.
On these Full Day and Half Day experiences you will sample the flavours and stories behind several of the different cultural foods of the city, including Cape Malay, isiXhosa, Afrikaans and pan-African foods. You will get into local kitchens and hard to find eateries.Â
Half Day Cuisine Route:
a short Spice Tour in the BoKaap or Salt River, following the routes of the people that arrived here from the East
we follow those spices into some of the Cape Malay foods, such as samoosas, daaltjies and the wonderfully sweet and spicy koesusters. We'll also sample a little bit of curry.
we then go to Langa or Guguletu to experience the diversity of township cuisine, including steam bread, chakalaka, umngqusho, amagwenya and nyama, and the chisa nyama or hot meat bar culture.
Full Day Cuisine Route: The Full day experience adds a Pan-African element to the half-day programme, and expands the township cuisine element into a full-blown cooking workshop. Together with the hosts, guests explore Langa or Guguletu to purchase ingredients, before learning in the host's home kitchen how to make the food. It's a deep cultural experience, about making both food and friends.
Meet musicians, artists, storytellers, poets, business women, fashion designers, spiritual leaders... Plug in to the depth and diversity of perspective that makes up urban Africa.
