Any tourists dream. This experience is a must for anyone that is interested in an authentic Cape Town food experience. The host, Rupesh, is extremely knowledgeable and great fun. Be sure to book this!

This was a superb food tour! Rupesh guided us through a fascinating day, full of laughter, delicious small bites from restaurants and food vendors, all the while sneaking in a comprehensive introduction to Cape Town and it’s history. I consider Cape Town my second home, and simply can’t believe I had never sampled the delights of a Koesister, a sweet and aromatic doughnut type confection, related, but far more exotic than the better-known koeksister. We visited a building which I have seen many times, but had no idea was built as a mansion by a wealthy slave trader, nor that housed within its courtyard is the oldest grape vine on the continent, which continues to flourish. We ate an ‘off the menu’ Malay curry out of bone china teacups at the smallest coffee shop in Cape Town and learned from the chef how locals use our native fynbos herbs as aromatics and flavour enhancers, another thing I’ve never done. We followed Rupesh through the picturesque little streets of the Bo Kaap, where he made sure we got the best photo ops, into a visually stunning contemporary art gallery where we ate some more. Later he took us onto a rooftop somewhere near Bree Street with the best view of the city and made a stop at the celebrated Jason Bakery for pastéis de nata, something I had never ordered there, but have already returned for. I will take this tour again, it’s a wonderful way to get a feel for the city. Rupesh is an extremely engaging guide, from the moment you meet him you feel looked after, and ready to follow and learn, and of course to eat very, very well.

Highly recommended and definitely a highlight of our trip back home. We were a mixture of young and old, locals and old Capetonians and it was a great experience for all. Loved it!
