He’s been to some of the most world-renowned restaurants helmed by innovative chefs, BUT the rich mix of flavours from Cape Town’s most popular spots has easily captured this international foodie’s heart!
Cape Town, South Africa (19 May 2025) – A seasoned traveller who has seen and experienced countless views, hotels, cultures and cuisine in some of the world’s BEST countries and cities has revealed that one of the places that touched their souls and palates was our very own Mother City!
Many are familiar with Cape Town’s diverse cultural history and how its stunning coastal location has shaped a vibrant and flavourful food scene that boasts a mix of delicious traditional meals, fresh seafood, and fine dining.
During a sit-down interview on the Travel Stories with Moush UAE podcast, Chris Nader, a self-confessed hotel trotter and lover of outdoor hospitality, revealed that in all the places he had been, Cape Town had by far the best food he’d ever tasted.
“Cape Town is the best destination for food, hands down,” in Chris’ own words.
“I had a lot of great experiences in San Sebastian, in the Basque countryside of Spain, where it’s the highest concentration of Michelin restaurants per capita. Cape Town, without the whole Michelin ha-h,a is able to, everywhere you go, you have amazing cuisine. Presented in a beautiful way, with amazing people.”

Of all the places he has been, one of his best foodie trips will go down as the one he experienced in Cape Town. This included a stop at one of the city’s most well-loved and awarded restaurants, La Colombe, which offers contemporary cuisine with a French flair. He also visited Delaire Graff in Stellenbosch, known for its creative bistro favourites with a South African twist, as well as fine dining at various estates in Franschhoek.
From the Bo-Kaap with its strong Cape Malay culinary heritage to the coastal areas offering fresh seafood, Cape Town truly is the place for foodies; it certainly won over this globe-trotter’s heart!
