And if you’ve been living under a rock and are thus far unaware of the excellentness that is the general Madame Zingara vibe, then you can get up to speed, below.
The legacy of Madame Zingara dates back to 2001, when she first opened her doors and won over the hearts of the Mother City as a whimsical restaurant in Loop Street. This enchanting bohemian eatery became an immediate success with its warm and welcoming dining experience, decadently fused with the wild spirit of the gypsy.
Sadly, late in 2006, tragedy stuck and the entre restaurant was lost to a fire, leaving little more than a shell and a devastated crew.
Unable to rebuild what was lost, the Zingara family fought back and so the Theatre of Dreams was born- a mesmerizing traveling dinner theatre extravaganza housed in one of the last remaining antique mirrors tents in the world. Built in Belgium in 1928 and originally used as a traveling dance hall, this grand dame of burlesque style has toured the world for more than 80 years.
With the kind assistance of the Klessesns family, Victoria was delivered to Africa in 2007 and toured to full houses in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban for almost two years
At the end of 2008 Madame Zingara left South African shores and headed to London to share her magic. However, unfortunately the global economic crash of that year affected the Madame as severely as it did so many other companies, and the group faced liquidation.
The irrepressible Zingara soon bounced back and so the Bombay Bicycle Club was born. Before long the Theatre of Dreams was back in SA, enthralling audiences nationwide.
Being a Cape Town based company, it seemed only right to put down roots and lovingly restore and resurrect landmark city restaurants, and the stable now also includes Café Paradiso, The Sidewalk Café, Café Mozart and the newest addition Don Pedro.
