Taste International Culinary Festival

Taste, the International Culinary Festival, best described by many as an unforgettable experience of foodie and restaurant heaven, has announced their first Port Elizabeth based event, Taste of PE, to take place at the Boardwalk Entertainment Complex from 6 - 8 of March 2015.

Port Elizabeth will join a global list of spectacular Taste Festival cities that stretch from Sydney to Mumbai, a phenomenon of unique events at which the host city's most acclaimed restaurants and chefs gather in a stunning venue to present their signature dishes to thousands of 'foodie' visitors.

The experience, cuisine and atmosphere of each festival is totally unique to the city in which it is held. Taste of London launched first in 2004 with other major cities across the world following suit including Joburg in 2007, with Durban and Cape Town in quick succession. The festivals have set a new benchmark for food and drinks worldwide with 25 Taste Festivals now hosted around the world.

Eight of PE's top restaurants and a selection of hand-picked gourmet food producer's will create a host of dishes to tickle visitor's taste buds. With a wide range of exhibitors, craft brewers, artisan producers, premium drink brands and award-winning wineries will provide a bounty of the country's finest food and drink on offer, ensuring that one can sample and shop for a range of produce in the laid back atmosphere of a boutique food market.
