Hold up, you're behind the times over here! Time Out Market Cape Town opened on November 17. Head on over to our dedicated Time Out Market Cape Town page for the low-down on the most delicious new destination in the Mother city!
Foodies, haul out your calendars and your permanent markers: the opening date for Time Out Market Cape Town has been revealed.
Friday November 17 – at 11am, to be precise – is the day that the doors will be thrown open to Cape Town’s most exciting new food and cultural destination.
Set on the quayside of the V&A Waterfront harbour precinct, Time Out Market Cape Town is the first Time Out Market in Africa, drawing on the successful formula that has seen markets launch in cities including Lisbon, New York, Chicago and Montreal.
Stretched across two levels and nearly 2,800 square metres of floor space, Time Out Market Cape Town will give both locals and visitors a curated snapshot of Cape Town’s vibrant food scene under a single roof, with 13 homegrown culinary concepts on offer.
While the concept is global, the foods, flavours and chefs are proudly local, providing the Cape’s up-and-coming cooks an opportunity to showcase their plates alongside some of its most lauded celebrity chefs. And the opening line-up of chefs and vendors has just been expanded with the announcement of two more outlets for the market.
Stepping up from his current V&A location at the Makers Landing incubator hub is chef Hitesh Panchal. His kitchen Kapoochka will dish up a contemporary take on Indian street food with a creative focus on moreish pani puri, including savoury and sweet versions of the popular snack.
And, not content with bringing his popular noodle bar Ramenhead to the Market, chef Peter Tempelhoff has announced he will also open Sushiya: an upscale ‘sushi shop’ dedicated to sustainable sourcing, craftsmanship and tradition. Adding an extra slice of street cred is the fact that Sushiya is a collaboration with Japanese chef Shin Takagi, who also owns two-star Michelin restaurant Zeniya in Kanazawa, Japan. Stand by for a shake-up of the city’s sushi scene!
From Friday November 17 2023, Time Out Market Cape Town will be open daily from 11am, closing at 10pm Sunday to Wednesday and 11pm Thursday to Saturday. We’ll see you there!
