South African cuisine has revolutionized the culinary world and there’s no better place to experience the bold flavors and tasty treats than Cape Town. A tour through Cape Fusion Tours is the perfect way to catch a glimpse of the heart of the city while also experiencing how foods plays such a large role in the culture.
Cape Fusion currently offers three different tours but the best is easily the Cape Malay Cooking in the Bo-Kaap experience. The Bo-Kaap neighborhood is one of the most colorful and culturally rich in all of Cape Town and the perfect setting for a tasting trip.
The tour begins with a caffeine stop at Truth Coffee, a steam punk-themed micro coffee roaster popular among the locals. Here you’ll learn a brief history of Apartheid in the region and how it influenced the culture and economics of the country. Next, the group stops by the District 6 Museum for a more in-depth teaching.
Afterwards, you’ll take a leisurely stroll along the brightly painted buildings of the Bo-Kaap neighborhood before making a pit stop at Atlas Spices, the main spice shop in town. Next, you’ll pop into one of the local homes for a hands-on lesson in regional cooking. Here you’ll discover how to make rooti’s from scratch, craft delectable chili bites, cook traditional Malay curry and more.
Once the food is finished you’ll enjoy a scrumptious dinner with your hosts and some local friends to learn all about life in Cape Town. If you haven’t had your fill at this point, Cape Fusion also offers an extended, full-day tour that delves further into the city for groups.
