The fish and chips downstairs is amazing. Its always busy but well worth the wait. We had calamari (massive portion) and fish and chips. Amazing. You can watch the seals from that view

Had a good experience there, just wish we would have more locals from houtbay from near the market able to sell their wares at this market, wish it was a proper market, where you can find great goods at great bargains and not just expensive stuff out of reach of the ordinary person who lives in the surrounds. Such a pity and opportunity missed.

Lovely place. Always visit here with kids. Food is great. Good variety and options with different cultures combining. Coffee shops are on par with the best. The various goods stalls offer a lot of options and interrestest. Though small there is a lot to do.

Rough day at work or just had a long week? Come to Houtbay Market Friday night for some great food and a show. Sit down for dinner with live music and a drink ranging from non alcohol drinks to healthy shakes and cofee to soft drinks. Draw some money. Some vendors only use Snapscan, Zapper or cash. A handful has card facilities. Wonderful way to spend a night or afternoon.Fridays open at 5 and close at 9.

Lovely sunday market to visit, with artisan created meals. There is a variety of beautiful hand made craft stalls too. From jewelry, painted, artwork, linen clothing, honey, kids puzzles to fabric and leather handbags. Nicely spaced out, so its not cramped up. Clean ablution facilities and lovely chilled areas both inside and out to enjoy your meals. Meals range from sushi,, soup, smoothies, to burgers, persian traditional and of course fish and chips. I thought this was a well hidden gem and enjoyed my time there 🙂

Great little market, sadly lacking in tourists right now. Clothing, jewellery, books and handmade leather shoes are for sale, as well as artisanal coffee and lots of different foods. Well worth a visit.

The Bay Harbour Market is a very busy and colourful market. Extraordinary art work exhibition outside and inside. There are so many interesting things to buy. I simply cannot do justice to trying to describe the vibrancy and products available at the market stalls, its a must see and experience place. There are also a great variety of food and drinks available as well as a delightful seating area overlooking the gun emplacements.

Indoor space with lots of good food and interesting stalls. Combines the convenience of being indoors with the local cultural crafts and produce experience of a typical local market. Great option for a cold and rainy Cape Town winters day.

Great market selling a large variety of crafts, clothing, jewellery, art, etc. A section of the market is dedicated solely to food and has tables and benches where you can enjoy a light meal, coffee or sweet treats. Dont forget to browse through the numerous galleries adjacent to the market hall. Something for everyone here. Well worth a visit.

✓ Tons of shops with plenty of interesting things to buy✓ Reasonable prices for the shops✓ Decent live band playing at a reasonable volume (we may have just lucked out)✓ Great food available here✓ Great local craft beer available✓ Able to walk around the market with a delicious craft beer✓ Right next to the beach so you could go for a swing✓ No reasons to not visit this place.This place definitely raises the bar on what to expect from a market going forward. Kudos to whoever helped create this place as it is amazing. It is not so big you are walking around forever and it is not too small that you see everything in ten minutes.

Always an awesome time at Bay Harbour Market. They could however do a bit more to accommodate kids though. But the food, stalls, arts, vibe and music is always great! Its wheelchair friendly, theres an outside smoking/eating area. The staff are friendly and efficient and the eating areas are always well kept.

Great spot for some great food. Lots of people selling really good quality farm produce and clothes.I advise you go there with a good budget for this and head in early when the food is still fresh or just before it closes - They cut their prices down to try push all their stock.

One of the reasons for me going going back to Houtbay. This is one of the nicest, friendliest little markets we have visited. The large array of food and curios, the colorful and decorative displays, the convenient eating quarters are setup to entice your senses and is just so inviting. The food caters for every need. The the live music to entertain you while you enjoy your meal is awesome. You could spend the afternoon just getting lost in it all.

Wonderful atmosphere with a variety of traders from food to clothing and jewelry. Live music and a buzzing Friday nite vibe 2nd to none. The market employs local community members in all divisions of the market and you can see them all over from managing the market to cleaning and helping in every food store in the market. This market creates employment for this community, I love it. Variety of different independently owned stalls makes it a true market, home industry allowed to trade and earn an income rather than corporate business allowed to trade in the market.

What a stunning market! The food is so good here, you will find the best food in CT here.My favorite spot is The Mac Factory, the “le med babe” is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.The only downside to this market is there is not that many smoothie joints. The only juice stand does blended fruits and veg.

Cant give Bay Harbour proper rating as they were closed only went there to do a job, but the set up looks good lots of mini restaurants, I believe theres live entertainment on a Friday and yes I will b going there, the prices of food and drink seems reasonable, they also have a market place in front of restaurants, dont believe me, then check it out yourself

Review №85

This market is very beautiful and is in a great location. A few minutes drive away from the clay cafe and the best Fish and Chips place in Cape Town. The prices for some things are reasonable, but most things are rather on the expensive side as they are geared towards tourists.The food all ale reasonable prices, is very delicious and freshky prepared. You dont have to have cash on you as most places have card machines, but if you prefer cash,there is an ATM on site.Definitely worth a visit in Cape Town, nest times to go in the morning just as they open before they get crowded with people. A good 2 hours is more than enough to see all the stalls, grab some food and buy a few items.

Bay Harbour market is really fun, great place to see a huge variety of food and craft stalls. There is even a spa where you can get a facial or massage!Highlights:- There is delicious food and they cater to all types of people (vegetarian, banting, vegan, sugar free etc).- The prices are fairly competitive, not cheap, but it is not overpriced- They often have amazing live music- perfect for a Saturday afternoon chillNegatives:- No designated kids area- Very little change in stalls, so if youve been there once, you wouldnt need to go again- Outside area is very small so it gets a bit stuffy inside.

A really bustling place on a Sunday, stunning views of Houtbay and Chapmans peak drive. Seals are often seen along the harbor shoreline, both swimming and sun bathing. There are restaurants to sit down and eat which serve great tasting fish. On a good day one can see the slangkop lighthouse just on the outskirts of Kommetjie in the distance.
