Eighteen leading restaurants from Cape Town, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch will be on show at the “Taste of Cape Town” next week, which takes place from Wednesday 24 – Sunday 28 March at the Rhodes High School in Mowbray.
Leading restaurants which will be offering up to 3 interesting mini-dishes will be Bistro 1682, Cape Colony at the Mount Nelson Hotel, Ginja, Myoga, Grande Provence, Jardine, Le Quartier Francais, Bread & Wine, Overture, The Greenhouse and Reubens. Interestingly the One&Only Cape Town restaurants Nobu and Maze will also be presenting a taste of their dishes. Odd is that restaurants that cannot be compared to the gourmet level of those mentioned already are also part of the ‘Taste of Cape Town’: Wang Thai, Societi Bistro, Gold, Signal at Cape Grace, and Il Leone Mastrantonio.
“Taste of Cape Town” is a franchised event, that will also be held in Johannesburg, London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Auckland, Sydney, Milan, Amsterdam, Melbourne, Dublin, and Dubai in 2010.
Dishes to be tasted are paid for in crowns, and each restaurant can name its price ranging between 4 – 8 crowns (or R 20 – R 40). Tickets can be bought at Computicket, either for R 80 for just the entrance, or at R 170 for entrance and crowns to the value of R 100.
Taste of Cape Town, 24 – 27 March from 18h30 – 22h30, as well as 13h00 – 17h00 on 27 March, and 12h00 – 17h00 on 28 March. www.tasteofcapetown.com
