Amazing place to visit when you have the chance. They have many food stalls with communal tables, interesting local products and even vintage items to shop for!
Although it rained during my trip there, the place do have some sheltered areas for you to hide out for a bit. :)

Loved the atmosphere and variety of food on sale.
It was an actual, proper diverse crowd of locals and tourists and one of the few places I visited in CT that had a crowd that reflected the diversity of the country in a welcoming way.
A great way to spend your Sunday, fantastic music and food from all over the world at reasonable prices.
Plus independent fashion and craft stores if you’re in the mood to shop.
Would definitely add to your list of things to do during your visit to Cape Town.
After looking at the reviews, we decided to check this place out anyways. They were right, It seems most of action happens on Saturday, but since we don't prefer crowd we thought we would go during the week and then again on Saturday. During the week, we found just the restaurants and hi end shops. Yea, It wasn't all the flair, but we did get some good photos of the mountain. We went back on Saturday and there were people everywhere having a good time. There was a DJ, great food, drinks and vendors there selling all sorts of goodies.
Good place to have food..
There is a DJ that will let you dance during your lunch..
Good to visit
Some shops there is like leather, clothes and gifts
Normal hours there, 1.5 to 2
Lovely food stalls, some are hit and miss so try them all out.
I enjoyed the halal Korean food place that also does Boba. There’s a place that sells giant cupcakes, also a win for me. The oysters are so fresh and delicious, definitely yes. The falafel shawarma place at the entrance on the right is meh. The place on the right right at the end that does breakfast and curries and rice is also meh (so disappointing). There’s a place that does a veg dish and a meat dish near the oyster stall but in the first tent on the left side -their dhal was insanely good (Annie’s Cape Malay or something?) Also really enjoyed the pastries and fried food at one of the stalls on the right side, the sweetcorn fritters and mebos chutney were amazing.
The only thing that bothers me here is the music is way too loud because there’s a live DJ, but I would rather enjoy my food with a bit more quiet and the ability to have a conversation, esp at 10am.
Personnally the food made it for me! I enjoyed the Ghanaian jollof rice and plantain. Some cocktails were so gooood like amatropicana. You should definitely give it a try. The ambiance was lit! And some great spot to take cute pics. Obviously the only ick for me was finding places to seat and eat. It was kinda crowded. But overall I enjoyed it
Great food & drinks and awesome stores. Weekend vibes atmosphere
Finally went to the Old Biscuit Mill, and I can say I've been missing out. The prices, the vibe, and the experience was like no other.
It is similar to Mojo Market but with more grit and the old fashioned home bespoke vendors sharing their art be it food, clothing, farm produce etc.
I particularly enjoyed the dim sum stand (not sure of the name) they had great vegan options. The Sprung stand also had a very tasty vegan spring roll.
For the meat lovers there are quite a few lovely options too, this market is such a vibe don't sleep on it.
Having a delicious cup of coffee and watching the sun rise from my table outside...breakfast special includes this coffee. Great, friendly service! And you can purchase a range of olive oils, B-well mayonnaise, and preserves.
