Markets

There are two markets in the V&A Waterfront: the V&A Food Market, known for its street food stands, craft beer and live music, and the Oranjezicht City Farm Market which is held every Saturday in Granger Bay. Independent local farmers and artisanal food producers offer a wide variety of healthy produce.

The Old Power Station brought power to the Cape Town dockyard, blazing a trail for trade in Cape Town and the African continent. Today, this powerhouse of innovation is still generating bright ideas through the V&A Food Market.

We showcase over 40 tenants with the finest local products and offer a platform for small business to launch trend concept food stores and bars alike. You can sit indoors when windy or quayside for sundowners. It’s the place to be for those seeking an eating experience with a vibrant atmosphere and plenty of variety at affordable prices.
