The authoritative Bon Appetit magazine, which is an important source of food information for its American readers, recently brought a delegation of readers to the Cape in conjunction with the USA offices of S A Tourism and AuthentEscapes, and was hosted by Cape Town Routes Unlimited.
Heading the Bon Appetit group was Victoria von Biel, the publication’s executive editor. A welcoming reception was hosted for her party at the Grande Roche Hotel in Paarl.
In March the publication featured Cape Town, with a pic of Camps Bay beach and the Twelve Apostles as its main photograph. It recommended the restaurants Biesmiellah, Bizerca Bistro, The Foodbarn, Bukhara, Anatoli, Caveau, and the Olympia Cafe and Deli as its “picks”. One hopes that the magazine’s restaurant recommendations will improve after the latest visit.
