This post should really be dedicated to Chase Mullen and his fabulous photography skills. When I mentioned heading to Cape Town, everyone that I asked for recommendations RAVED about the Saturday market at the Old Biscuit Mill. Unfortunately, we had planned on being in Stellenbosch on our only Saturday in Cape Town. After some quick discussions, we decided it would be worth piling in the stupid little Hyundai and heading back into Cape Town just for the morning. After waking up early and heading in, we arrived at the Saturday Neighbourgoods Market. At this point, my camera went away and I just walked around with my wallet full and my stomach empty. When leaving, my hands were full of goodies and my stomach was full of delicious food. So, without Chase, this post would not exist as I took approximately two photos all day. Read More...
The Neighbourgoods market was founded in 2006 as a way to have a space in South Africa for a Public Market. It is full of local farmers and local craftspeople looking to share their product with Cape Town. You can walk around and enjoy the local organic food while chatting with people that have created handmade goods to sell such as clothing, woodworks, and even leather goods.
We started off our trip with a nice honey liqueur shot in its own chocolate shot glass. It may have been 8AM, but we were on vacation.
This was quickly followed by a sangria.
While we were shopping and eating, Chase was taking photos.
It quickly got super packed, which honestly did not surprise me. If I lived in Cape Town, I would come every weekend for lunch. I had ate a breakfast taco and it was phenomenal. I also had a lot of little desserts, because as anyone who knows me, I have a huge sweet tooth.
I picked up some organic chocolate sauce, which is AMAZING and I have been making my own dark chocolate digestives all month long :).
I even sometimes took photos while I wasn't stuffing my face with tacos, hot dogs, and various chocolate treats.
It was definitely worth driving in for but we were also very excited to head back to Stellenbosch so that we could begin our wine tasting adventures!
