Overview

Embark on a culinary adventure at Bo Kaap Deli, where you'll start with a refreshing local drink and meet your knowledgeable guide and fellow food lovers. Stroll through Bo Kaap's vibrant, colourful houses, soaking in the lively atmosphere.

Next, step back in time to Heritage Square, established in 1771. Here, prepare your taste buds for a delightful experience at the charming Zannes Fare, famous for serving the best Bobotie and Bubbles in town.

Our journey continues to Marcos African Cafe, where you'll savour an African platter featuring traditional meats and vegetables, paired with a ceremonial African drink.

We'll then head to Fireman’s Arms, one of South Africa’s oldest bars. Here, you'll sample a tasting-size Bunny Chow and Malva pudding, perfectly complemented by your choice of a local craft gin or beer, rounding off your flavourful journey.
