| Fresh Produce for sale |
The Hout Bay Market is not to be missed if you are a market
fundi. This one has everything you would find affordable at the Biscuit Mill,
only the trendiest clothing and handmade goods, and food enough to satiate your
tastebuds. Set in an abandoned warehouse repurposed in the old harbour of Hout
Bay, it is charming and bustling at the same time. I suggest you go early as it
is extremely popular with the locals and the not so locals around lunch time!
Gourmet sandwiches, pastries, sushi, pizza, and other cooked
meals line the food hall section to tempt you away from the stalls. The
entrance features many of the handmade African instruments and ornaments, as
well as rustic frames of every colour, scuff pattern, and dimension. Fresh
produce can also be found bursting with colour near the open corrugated doors.
Clothing and an assortment of other garments and accessories are also sold
here. Remember to bring Fido, dogs are allowed.
The décor is fresh and tongue in cheek, from uprooted… well,
roots suspended from the ceiling with thick chains, to fluffy pink lavatory
doors and gaudy transparent high heel door knobs.
The Hout Bay Market is open every Saturday and Sunday, as it
is under cover, from 09:30 until 5pm. Some week nights this venue holds comedy
nights – check the Hout Bay Market website for more info.
