Cape Town Tourism has released a new short film. "eKasi to Constantia – a culinary journey from township to terroir" tells the story of a small restaurant from a township and its partnership with the oldest wine producing estate in South Africa.
Owned by South African chef and restaurateur Abigail Mbalo-Mokoena and founded in 2014, 4Roomed eKasi Culture in Khayelitsha is a restaurant specialized in modern interpretations of traditional South African dishes. Founded 329 years earlier, Groot Constantia Wine Estate in the suburb of Constantia in Cape Town is South Africa's oldest wine producing estate. The historical wine estate not only produces wine - it is also a heritage site that has a museum, two restaurants on site - the Jonkershuis Restaurant and Simon’s Restaurant - and offers wine cellar tours and wine tastings.
During a tour on the Red Bus, Abigail and Lila Jutzen, the Sales and Maketing Manager of Groot Constantia, met and immediately made plans to pair eKasis' contemporary South African dishes with the wines of South Africa's oldest wine producing estate to create a culinary experience that can only be found in Cape Town.
"It's this new age versus this tradition that brings this complete culture of Cape Town to life." (Lila Jutzen, Sales & Marketing Manager, Groot Constantia Trust)
