Shopping Escapes in the Cape
The Neighbourgoods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock is considered to be Cape Town’s original gourmet market and takes place between 09h00 and 14h00 every Saturday. Baked goods, organic produce, fresh seafood, premium roasted coffee and gourmet goodies draw Cape crowds to this bustling market.
Housed in an old fish factory at the water’s edge, the Bay Harbour Market (www.bayharbour.co.za) in Hout Bay is another well-loved market which offers visitors an eclectic South African celebration of culture and creativity, as well as a uniquely social shopping experience in a vibrant and authentic environment. It offers home-made crafts, great food, flowing drinks, and live music over weekends. A massive indoor fireplace adds to the allure of this lively location in the cooler winter months.
Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront complex features the V&A Market on the Wharf (www.marketonthewharf.co.za), which opens its doors from Monday to Sunday every week and is the Mother City’s first permanent bazaar. With over 50 traders, this gourmet fair treats food lovers to lush harbour views and food styles from around the world.
If traditional African dishes make your mouth water, pay a visit to the Khayelitsha Craft Market, which is held every weekday in the vibrant township of Khayelitsha. This market also aims to alleviate poverty, and all goods sold are made by members of the community, making it well worth a visit if soaking in African culture and giving back to those less privileged appeals to you.
