Get ready to savour the city’s boldest flavours this Summer. We joined the launch of the new Summer Menu at Time Out Market Cape Town on Thursday and it certainly did not disappoint.
Some of the Mother City’s top chefs unveiled a lineup that captures everything I love about Summer in the Mother City: vibrant, full of flair and packed with delightful choices to match.
Sushiya's Ryan Reyes, brought all the tangy freshness with his summer-inspired seared yellow-fin tuna roll and rocket. Head Chef Dian Bothas at Una Más has forever changed our perspective on the underrated Brussels sprout. At the same time, Carne's Giorgio Nava sealed the chef's kiss with a classic slow-cooked chicken dish, served in a family-friendly manner.
It’s the kind of food that makes you want to linger, and with the market's upcoming summer events, it's an invitation to do so.
“Our chefs have outdone themselves this summer,” said Russ Meyer, General Manager of Time Out Market Cape Town. “From salads to sushi and flavourful curries, we’re confident our new menu additions are where the good times are at.”

Time Out Tip: This Summer, you’ll notice some development and construction works underway in and around the V&A Waterfront. However, Nobel Square and its surroundings remain open to visitors, even if the usual walkable route appears temporarily redirected. Portswood Lodge remains the best spot to park and weave your way through this historic part of the Waterfront.
