Sea Point Eats – a Cape Town food tour of a local “hood”

Sea Point Eats – a Cape Town food tour of a local “hood”

Embark on a private five-hour culinary journey through Cape Town’s vibrant Sea Point neighbourhood, where history and gastronomy intertwine to offer an unforgettable experience. Established in the 1800s, Sea Point evolved from a Victorian-era seaside resort into a melting pot of cultures, notably serving as the heart of Cape Town’s Jewish community.

During the late 1980s, political uncertainties led to a period of decline, with many properties becoming neglected. However, a collaborative effort between local businesses and the city resulted in the formation of a City Improvement District (CID), sparking a remarkable revival. Today, Sea Point stands as one of Cape Town’s most vibrant areas, boasting a dynamic food scene that reflects its rich history and diverse community.

This tour offers an immersive exploration of Sea Point’s culinary landscape, featuring a mix of artisan food offerings and traditional dishes that pay homage to the area’s cultural heritage. Participants will have the opportunity to sample local favourites, engage with passionate food artisans, and gain insights into the neighbourhoods transformation over the years.

Join us to taste the flavours that define Sea Point, learn about the influences that have shaped its cuisine, and experience firsthand the community’s resilience and creativity that continue to drive its culinary renaissance.
