Local guide
8 markets in Cape Town and the Winelands
Updated · Lekker Cape Town
A market can be a food-shopping stop, a casual meal with friends or the centrepiece of a day out. These eight options cover the Waterfront, Sea Point, Woodstock, Hout Bay, Muizenberg and the Winelands, so you can choose one that fits the rest of your plans.
This updated selection replaces our older 20-market list. We checked the venues’ official information for this guide and link to it below, making it easy to find current trading days and plan your visit.
Granger Bay, V&A Waterfront
Oranjezicht City Farm Market
Local farmers and artisanal food producers are the focus here. The market is at the corner of Granger Bay Boulevard and Dock Road in the Waterfront precinct, making it a useful choice for a weekend food-shopping stop as part of a Waterfront outing.
Follow the market’s current Granger Bay map. The Oranjezicht farm on Upper Orange Street is a separate destination, and the market has moved from its former site across the road.

Neighbourgoods Market
Neighbourgoods brings food traders, artisans and designers to the Old Biscuit Mill on weekends. It is a useful choice when your group wants to combine eating with browsing local makers rather than make a dedicated produce-shopping trip.
Set your destination to the Old Biscuit Mill, 373–375 Albert Road. Leave some time to explore the wider complex’s shops and studios alongside the market.

Time Out Market Cape Town
This food hall brings a selection of Cape Town kitchens and bars together in the Old Power Station on Dock Road. The communal dining format makes it a practical option for a group that would like to choose different dishes while eating together.
Combine a meal with the Waterfront precinct. The Watershed and Two Oceans Aquarium are nearby; use the market’s official food directory to see the current kitchen selection.

Mojo Market
Mojo is a food and live-music market at 30 Regent Road. Its range of food stalls and bars suits a casual group meal, while the live-music and events programme gives you a way to build an evening around the visit.
Browse the current food directory and performance programme before choosing your evening. This is a food-and-entertainment stop rather than a farmers’ market for stocking the kitchen.

Bay Harbour Market
An old fish factory in Hout Bay’s working harbour houses this mix of food, fashion, jewellery, art and crafts. Live entertainment is part of the market programme, so it works as a combined meal-and-browse stop during a Hout Bay visit.
Use 31 Harbour Road as your destination, and check the market’s current entertainment programme if you would like music to be part of the outing.

Blue Bird Garage Food & Goods Market
Blue Bird combines food stalls, drinks and shopping in a former postal-plane hangar at 39 Albertyn Road. The evening-market format brings cooks, bakers and local designers together, offering a different kind of stop from a morning produce market.
Plan this as an evening visit rather than a daytime shopping stop. The official website lists the trading evenings and links to the market’s latest updates.

Lourensford Market
Food and drink stalls, handmade goods and artwork come together on Lourensford Wine Estate. The estate’s lawns, gardens and trees make this an option for visitors who would like the market to be part of a wider Somerset West outing.
The market operates a summer season. Check the official season notice and events calendar when choosing your date, then plan the rest of your estate visit around it.

Blaauwklippen Family Market
Blaauwklippen’s weekend market combines food, handmade goods and music on the wine estate. Seating beneath the trees and space on the lawns make it an option for a relaxed meal and browse during a Stellenbosch day out.
Choose this for an estate-based market visit. Check Blaauwklippen’s current market and events information when planning how to combine it with the estate’s other experiences.

- Start with the kind of outing you want: fresh produce at Oranjezicht, a choice of kitchens at Time Out or Mojo, food and makers at Neighbourgoods, or an estate setting at Lourensford or Blaauwklippen.
- Group your plans by area. The Waterfront and Sea Point options fit a city day; Somerset West and Stellenbosch give you a reason to plan a separate Winelands outing.
- Use each official link for the trading dates, seasonal notices and events closest to your visit. Menus and individual traders can change, so the venue’s current directory is the best place to choose what to eat.
