Epice Restaurant, Le Quartier Francais, Franschhoek
Embarking on a culinary journey through Africa and South America offers a tantalizing array of flavors and experiences that delight the senses.
What we love: Taking it slow and exploring endless vineyards in the cape winelands region. - J.H.
Savory meats, exotic fruits, and flavorful grains intertwine to tell stories of centuries-old traditions. Pair these meals with African wines, increasingly renowned for their complexity and character, especially from South Africa’s wine regions like Stellenbosch. In South America, food and drink become an integral part of the cultural tapestry, with vibrant cuisine shaped by indigenous ingredients and European influence. Enjoy the savory street foods of Peru, the grilled meats of Argentina, and the Amazonian fruits of Brazil. South American wines, particularly from Argentina’s Mendoza Valley and Chile’s Central Valley, offer full-bodied reds and crisp whites that perfectly complement the diverse flavors.
