We are great fans of the Taste of Cape Town. It is classy, fun, exciting, innovative, and there aren’t 10,000 drunk teenagers knocking over your drink. The lovely humans from Taste of Cape Town 2013 have given us some (read: a lot) of tickets to give away, and it all starts tomorrow. SO WATCH THIS SPACE. We will also be giving you the low-down on the pop-up restaurants and other fancy little facts you need to know. SO WATCH THIS SPACE A LOT.

And with that little ramble, press release:

Let’s get our eat on at Taste of Cape Town 2013.

Hard core gourmands, trend hunters, enthused food lovers and dining enthusiasts will tick off indulgent experiences on their culinary bucket list when Pick n Pay Taste of Cape Town in association with Orbit Sugarfree Chewing Gum, comes to town for four days of food nirvana from 11 to 14 April 2013 at the Green Point Cricket Club.

Cape Town’s hottest restaurants and chefs set up shop under one roof boasting the dishes that make them stand out as well as show–off their food passion. The festival also features the Taste Pop-Up Restaurant with The Pot Luck Club, La Colombe, Makaron Restaurant and The Boathouse on a rotation throughout the festival.

 Pick n Pay Chef’s Theatre will feature live demos by top chefs. For the hands-on visitors, the Pick n Pay Wine and Canapé Experience will reveal the secrets to creative pairings of canapés and wine in an interactive area. Thai chefs will also demonstrate popular dishes at the Royal Thai Embassy over the four days. The Taste Craft Beer Project will pair a selection of 18 brews with festival dishes, and the Cape Town Angels Benefit Stage brings an impressive line-up of local performers to the festival.

The eleven restaurants participating: Azure Restaurant, Beefcakes Burger Bar, The Brasserie, Dash Restaurant & Bar, De Grendel Restaurant, Fyndraai restaurant, Il Leone Mastrantonio, Jewel of India, 96 Winery Road, Savour Restaurant and Signal Restaurant.
