Having tantalised tastebuds in Cape Town for the past two years, the Taste of Cape Town festival is back from the 24 to 28 March at Rhodes High School, Mowbray (follow signs from Liesbeek Parkway into Durban Road).

This stylish event will once again bring together the city's most acclaimed restaurants and carefully selected exhibitors to attract Cape Town?s most dedicated and sophisticated foodies.

Celebrated chefs from 19 of the Cape?s most renowned and awarded restaurants will join together to serve their fabulous, trend-setting signature dishes to an audience with a taste for unbelievable food.

Taste of Cape Town is a fantastic opportunity to try new destinations, explore different cuisines and plan a whole year of dining out!

Justine Drake, Taste Festival Director, comments: ?Taste of Cape Town is a much awaited highlight on the city?s social calendar. It?s a one-stop shop for the best food, wine and gourmet goodies the Cape has to offer.?

With nine new restaurants, top chefs and exciting features, the reputation of Taste of Cape Town has grown into the most celebrated food festival the Mother City has ever experienced.

?Each Taste festival is better than the last and this year will be no exception,? she says.
