African Food and Storytelling Tour Cape Town City Centre
African Food and Storytelling Tour Cape Town City Centre
ทัวร์ชิมอาหารและเล่านิทานแอฟริกันใจกลางเมืองเคปทาวน์

Highlights
We connect Cape Town’s food culture with its history, spaces, and the lived experiences of local entrepreneurs, paired with shared meals and snacks at hidden community kitchens, hole in the wall restaurants, and African owned food businesses each with a unique story to tell.
IMPORTANT: This is more than just a food tour. While food is central, the experience also explores the connections between public spaces, history, entrepreneurship, and food, and how gentrification shapes city life. The tour features eight stops, with 3 food experiences: 2 warm shared meals and 1 snack tasting with warm and cold beverages. Come hungry!
Along the way, you’ll meet small business owners who reflect our love for food, stories, books, and fabrics. Cape Town’s small business scene is always evolving, and so is this tour. It is immersive, responsible, and offers an authentic glimpse into the heart and soul of the city’s inner core.
Vegan, vegetarian & pescatarian friendly; GF guests get Xhosa cuisine.
