Cape Art Collectors Get Their Tastebuds Tickled

This summer, Cape Town’s worlds of fine dining and contemporary African art come together as The Art of Food (TAOF) returns in collaboration with Amare — the award-winning Mediterranean coastal restaurant in Bantry Bay that has rapidly become one of the city’s most talked-about dining destinations. Renowned for its artful design, elegant interiors, and vibrant cuisine inspired by the sun-drenched flavours of the Mediterranean, Amare was recently named Africa’s Best New Restaurant 2025 at the prestigious World Culinary Awards — often dubbed the “Oscars of gastronomy.”
