DISCOVER THE BEST FOODIE DESTINATIONS

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, or a fun-filled family celebration, The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa offers a choice of unique dining experiences that cannot be beaten. You can enjoy a panoramic picnic in the gardens, with stunning views of the ocean and Table Mountain. Or, if afternoon tea is more your thing, you’ll love the hotel’s take on this age-old tradition. Served in the Leopard Bar, it features dainty finger sandwiches, chocolate brownies, cream puffs, macarons and madeleines – and some of the best sunset views in Cape Town. Why not indulge in the Moët & Chandon High Tea, served with a glass of Brut Imperial champagne?

It doesn’t stop there! For the ultimate luxury dining experience, book the ‘Two Flights Lunch’. You’ll take a private heli-tour over Cape Town, taking in the incredible views of the sandy beaches, Robben Island and the Atlantic Ocean. When you land back on the hotel’s private helipad, you’ll enjoy a tasting menu at award-winning Azure Restaurant, accompanied by a flight of wines, specially chosen to complement the food.

An evening dining experience beneath the starry Outback sky is definitely one for the memory books. In the Australian Tourism Hall of Fame, the Sounds of Silence Dinner offers the best of the Red Centre in four magical hours.

As the sun sets over Kata Tjuta and magnificent Uluru, you’ll enjoy canapés and sparkling wine on a dune overlooking the National Park. As darkness falls, you can listen to the sound of a didgeridoo, then tuck into a meal of Australian delicacies, which incorporates native bush ingredients. While dessert is served, a local storyteller will map the stars of the southern night sky. You’ll be able to spot the Southern Cross, the signs of the zodiac, and the Milky Way, as well as planets and galaxies that are visible due to the exceptional clarity of the atmosphere.

This country is every foodie’s dream. Every city and region in Japan offers something tasty and unique, so get ready to sample some mouth-watering delights. If sushi is your number one go-to bite, then look no further than the capital city of Tokyo. To the people of Tokyo, sushi is like pizza for the New Yorkers – an everyday staple that you can't resist. From casual corner spots to high-end restaurants, there’s sushi everywhere. Once you start, you won’t be able to stop! Elsewhere, Osaka is known as the food capital of Japan. Everyone has heard of tempura but, when you're in this city, make sure you try Kushikatsu. This Osakan speciality is made by frying meat, fish and vegetables, and then covering them in golden breadcrumbs to give them that delicious tempura crunch.

If you’re a meat-lovers, you’ll undoubtedly want to try some of Japan’s world-famous Wagyu beef. This mouth-watering delicacy can come with an eye-watering price tag, though, so Kobe beef makes a great alternative. We’d recommend making a reservation for Steak Aoyama – a family-owned restaurant in Kobe, renowned for excellent beef for the last 50 years.
