Food Explorer Delight

Neil took us on a culinary excursion into markets, more like food kiosks, with variety that was unexpected. Additionally, Neil explained the history of South Africa that led to the variety of cuisine. He also made recommendations for restaurant and activities to do while in Cape Town. The first stop was a weekend-only open market that offers coffee, tea pastries, sandwiches, mushroom skewers (MUST try), to fresh vegetables and fruits, beer and wines, and many more to mention. Next stop was a local market, then attempted lunch at Snookie which is an out of the way fish restaurant but it was packed. We settled for late lunch at Mojo Market and that was a delight. There were pizza, burgers, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Mexican, and many other kiosks. Now suffering from food coma. Best advice: do it and pace yourself.
Amazing Day!!!

We were blown away with the beauty of the Winelands! The scenery and places we visited were amazing! At Rickety Bridge we had our own personal chef prepare a special meal for us which was delicious! I will definitely be going back! The wine is fantastic! And my lunch was paired with different tea’s as a non-drinkers option, which was worked so well! Amazing experience. Neil is a great host. He allows you time to explore and will tailor the day to meet your needs. Highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed.
