The ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐โ ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ถ๐ฟรฉ๐ฒ, themed ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ท๐ช๐ค๐ฆ ๐๐ต๐ข๐บ๐ด โ ๐๐ฐ๐ด๐ฑ๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐ข๐ณ๐ด, hosted by Capital Hotel School on Tuesday, 19 May, was a roaring success.
We were truly delighted by the overwhelming turnout of our favourite restaurateurs, food and beverage managers, sommeliers, chefs, and hospitality professionals who joined us in celebrating the ๐๐๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐น๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ฒ๐ฒ. It was made even more special as the ๐ง๐๐ต๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ง๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐บ ๐๐๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป also celebrates its 25th anniversary this year - making it a wonderful double celebration for the hospitality and tourism industry.
We extend our sincere thanks to the owners and representatives of the following restaurants who joined us. Your presence, support, and passion for hospitality made the afternoon truly unforgettable: BAH Parilla, Blue Crane Restaurant, Brasserie de Paris, Buffelsfontein Beesboerdery, Capital Craft Beer Academy, Capito, Caraffa Restaurant, CSIR, Forti Too Grill & Bar, Klein Kaap Boutique Hotel, Lesi Restaurant, Lucky Bread Company, Moonshot Cafรฉ, Pasta Barra, PLTFRM Wolwespruit, Priva Gastronomic Lounge, Prosopa, Sprig Catering Company, Tashaโs Menlyn Main, The Tasting Room, Upper East Side, Vee & Forti Wine Bar & Liquor Emporium, and Villa San Giovanni.
The afternoon featured inspiring guest speakers, engaging and thought-provoking discussions, exciting (and exclusive) new hospitality offerings, meaningful networking opportunities with fellow restaurateurs, and a delectable menu perfectly paired with superior wines from the ๐๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ท ๐ฅ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ collection. Most importantly, it offered hospitality professionals the rare opportunity to step away from the daily rush of service and simply enjoy being celebrated themselves.
A room filled with passionate โHospitilitariansโ - a fitting new term for those devoted to the art of Unreasonable Hospitality - created an atmosphere of warmth, camaraderie, exceptional food, and fine wine that will be remembered long after the final toast was made. Hereโs to service that stays, hospitality that soars, and an industry that continues to inspire and delight the senses.
