South African restaurant Taste of Cape Town opens in Nairobi

The restaurant, located in an upmarket neighbourhood, serves South African dishes and wines, including Cape Malay curries, wood-fired meats and seafood.

Nairobi, Kenya witnessed the grand opening of South African restaurant group Taste of Cape Town's first permanent outlet in East Africa on September 16. Situated in a prestigious neighborhood, the restaurant specializes in South African dishes and wines, such as Cape Malay curries, wood-fired meats, and seafood. The menu artfully merges Cape and KwaZulu-Natal cuisine with seasonal ingredients sourced from East Africa.

South Africa's High Commissioner to Kenya, Salome Zulu Baloi, remarked that the restaurant opening signifies the strengthening ties between Kenya and South Africa. She shared that for years, Kenyans visiting Cape Town have become an integral part of their culinary scene, bringing enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, and a deep appreciation for South African food. The restaurant's decor pays homage to Cape Town's harbor and street culture.

Taste of Cape Town revealed that the Nairobi branch was established due to the increasing demand for South African cuisine, coinciding with the rising travel between the two nations.
