In my quest to savor an hour a day and use it to the fullest, today I decided to try another lunch spot within close proximity to my office. 2.4 km seemed slightly far to walk but in hindsight I'll just walk really fast next time... (Parking is expensive)
I visited the Food Market on the Wharf. Let me just say that the Earth Fair Food Market that I visited yesterday beats this market hands down (I think I'm going to have trouble trying to beat that market) but the V&A market is still definitely worth a visit- especially for a midweek work lunch.
I already had the left over Zucchini pasta for lunch so it was more of just a walk around but there are plenty of delicious looking dishes to choose from. The two that caught my eye were the Pad Thai (for only R35) and the Pizza looking flat bread (Which looked well worth the R50).
The market is indoors, with half the stores in a double volume warehouse setting that is pretty cool. Upstairs you will find a few more food stalls, a very cool area to sit on cushions on the floor and a great little pub. There is also a TV at the pub screening sport so I'm sure this will be very popular for lunch time viewings of the soccer world cup in the upcoming months.
There is also a very cute, very European looking Crepes and Pancakes store- I just couldn't face the post pancake guilt so I decide to lie to myself and have a 'healthy' frozen yoghurt. I asked the lady, "Whats the difference between frozen yoghurt and Ice-cream?" She Said "It's a family secret"- Ok? Whatever that means- But it was pretty damn good. (R35)
What's also nice about visiting the Food market is that 50m away is the craft market. If you have had a really heavy day you can have a reflexology treatment or a 30 min massage for R200- I think ill try this after pay day.
The Market is open from 9 to 5 and there is free wifi and ample seating :)
