Hout Bay Market

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.
