From food trucks and trailers, to designer-themed dinners in warehouses and science labs, to innovative dishes showcased at traditional markets; chefs and foodies have found a new platform to share their culinary concepts.

Cape Town’s most popular food truck Limoncello is a pale blue and yellow caravan that produces mouthwatering authentic Italian dishes like baby squid spaghetti vera, and ricotta and mozzarella pizza pies. Limoncello has been traveling the hills of the Twelve Apostles and festivals like Rocking the Daisies for the past three years.

“PopUps have provided an alternative for food lovers passionate about the splendors of food, (but not wanting) to be bound by a lease and a routine lifestyle that strips the creative of the freedom and flare that a food truck can provide,” comments Luca Castiglion, founder of Cape Town Food Trucks and whose mission is to get the Mother City to embrace the food truck concept.
