About Food Tour Cape Town

A guide for hungry days in Cape Town

Food Tour Cape Town is an independent guide for everyone who travels to Cape Town to eat. Here you will find how the food tours compare, what the Bo-Kaap and a Cape Malay cooking class offer, which restaurants the 2026 Eat Out awards picked, what to order, where the markets and the African kitchens are, and how a food and wine day in the Winelands works.

The site is available in English and five additional languages. It is written first in English.

How we research

Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: Iziko Museums, the City of Cape Town, South African Tourism, Wesgro, Wines of South Africa, the Eat Out restaurant awards and the markets' own pages, with temperatures and rain days from NOAA's monthly records for Cape Town International. Information on tours and classes, that is duration, group size, inclusions, dietary notes and starting prices, is taken from the offers on Viator and GetYourGuide. If a source does not say something, we do not say it either.

Tastes differ, and a tasting stop can change from one week to the next. That is why we tell you plainly what a listing promises, what it leaves open, and which tours and classes cannot cater for a diet.

How we make money

Food Tour Cape Town is funded through the GetYourGuide and Viator affiliate programs. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.
