Cape Town has just been voted Best Food City in the world according to the Condé Nast Traveller’s Reader’s Choice Awards, pipping destinations such as Dubai, New York and London to the post, and this shows the extent to which visitors associate travel with food. It’s not an afterthought, food and tourism go hand in hand.
