Cape Town: 3-Hour Food and Drink Tour

About this experience

Cape Town Food and Drink Tour This three-hour culinary walking tour takes you through Cape Town's distinctive food scene, from street cafes serving crispy fish and chips to local spots dishing up traditional game meat. Your local guide leads you to carefully selected venues that showcase authentic South African flavours, whether you're starting with breakfast or exploring lunch and dinner options. You'll taste iconic dishes like the massive Gatsby sandwich loaded with meats, chips and sauces, plus Bunny Chow - a hollowed-out bread loaf filled with aromatic curry that reflects the city's Indian influences. The tour also includes Bobotie, a classic minced beef dish topped with egg custard that perfectly balances sweet and savoury elements. Beyond the main dishes, you'll sample traditional snacks including air-dried biltong and droewors, plus braai specialties like boerewors sausage straight from the grill. The experience concludes with koeksisters, those syrupy deep-fried treats that locals can't resist. Your guide shares stories behind each dish, giving you proper context for Cape Town's diverse culinary heritage.
