Don’t get me wrong… I absolutely love my job; I work in a
great office, with great people, for an awesome brand, in the best industry
(travel)- but sometimes you just need a break- and an hour lunch break does the
trick!
I am a firm believer in taking a lunch break away from your
desk and if you mission you can make an hour go a long way. I love to get those
admin heavy chores out of the way; buy birthday presents, collect stuff from
the dry cleaners, go to the bank - so that your weekends are admin free.
That hour can however also help you to clear your head, and put
a happy ‘spike’ into your day, not to mention scout Cape Town for some awesome
food. I’ve made it my mission; at least twice a week I’m going to find a
delicious, (affordable) awesome place to go for lunch- today, was first time, very lucky.
I missioned 1.1 km from Cape Quarter to Green Market Square
(a 10 minute walk), where every Thursday the square is host to the Earth Fair
Food Market. This market takes Cape Town back to its roots; in the old days,
the farmers would pick fruit from the company gardens and sell it to the
sailors that dock in the harbour- ok so I’m no sailor but I sure did enjoy the
large helping of vegetable curry and rice for only R45.
It took me about 20 minutes to decide what to order.
Everything looked so delicious and most things are very well priced. You can
get a delicious brie and bacon roll for R25, a gluten free quiche for R15, or
Paella for R60. I decided to opt for a healthy, hearty Vegetable curry and I was
super impressed; you could taste it was fresh and made with love.
There is an awesome vibe around the square, lots of people
(Great for people watching), live music, lovely food and really a great way to
clear your head- all well within a 1 hour lunch break.
