Bo-Kaap
Cape Culinary Delight
Taste the city's history, one dish at a time.
Bobotie and koeksisters in Bo-Kaap, umngqusho and chakalaka, braaied meat — a walking food tour through the cultures that shaped Cape Town's kitchen.
Meet a local guide in the centre of Cape Town and walk the historic streets, tasting as you go. In the Bo-Kaap, sample Cape Malay dishes such as bobotie, samosas and koeksisters and hear where they come from. Then move on to the food of indigenous African cultures — umngqusho, chakalaka and braaied meats — and the part these dishes play in everyday and ceremonial life.
The mountain never leaves the picture.
