South African city ranked second in the world for food
South Africans just know how to make great food -and it shows…
When visiting a different country, travellers especially look to experience culture, significant sightings, and, of course, food.
They say money makes the world go round, but really, it's food.
That's why global media organisation Time Out asked thousands of city-dwellers to help them select the 20 best cities in the world for food right now.

Locals were asked about their city’s must-visit restaurants, must-eat dishes, and best-value bites.
They also had to rate their city’s food scene on both its quality and affordability.
Based on these answers, Time Out narrowed down the selection by excluding cities with lower overall scores and including only the highest-scoring city for each country.
After this, the outlet also asked their global network of Time Out editors and writers to recommend their favourite places in their city to eat right now.
"This list is a celebration of culinary culture the world over. Whether for high-end fine dining or affordable street eats, these are the very best cities for eating and drinking right now," wrote the outlet.
