Last year I attended the very first Taste of Joburg event. It was, without a doubt, one of the best events of the year for me. I loved it. The food is incredible, the beverages are available and equally fantastic and the vibe is just great.
This year they moved the venue from Wanderers to Monte Casino. I was apprehensive about this and was really interested to see if this years event would hold up to my expectations from last years event.
I was not disappointed.
One of the highlights of the night was Watershed playing live at the event. They were, as always, professional and crisp. They played some of their new music from their new album which is great.
There were 16 top class restaurants that were showcased at this years Taste event. That is a big step up from last year which is great to see. The event is clearly growing from strength to strength. More people attended this year, more food and wine on display and still a fantastic vibe throughout the night.
Do yourself a favour and pencil in next years Taste of Joburg. I penciled this ones in last year and have already sworn to be at next years. There aren’t many events that I plan a year in advance. This is one of them.

Oops, sorry Craig spelling mistake. That spiced cured salmon and shrimp remoulade (in the pic) from the Saxon was sooo delicious – I planned my lunch and dinner menu meticulously evey day and got to taste most things – lucky me – don’t miss the next one………….
