Yesterday's outing to the Market was a first time for me. We hosted a bridal brunch. The venue is beautiful, different and unique... I really liked it! Definitely a must to host a party 🥳 The food was great but the service needs a bit of attention. It's not bad but it's not great! It would be amazing if the waiters were trained just little bit more to give it that extra special something... and then it would be wonderful. I'm not nit picking, I'm just being honest. I'd definitely go for another visit though.

I've enjoyed coming to this gem of a place for years now. I love how it seems to look and feel better with each visit. A big plus is that it is located in Morningside, and so easily accessible, yet away from the hustle and bustle of Florida Road. It also means parking (on the street) is easier to come by than on Florida Road! The fact that it has an open air section and a covered section means that it will suit your mood on the day (as well as the weather!) The menu is varied, the food tastefully prepared (I always enjoy the pasta) and the staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. I gave the place a four star rating because there's always room to improve, although I can't think of anything specific that needs improvement at this time. I highly recommend this venue.

This place has great atmosphere. It is set in a perfect location which is easy to locate. The staff is friendly and professional while providing great customer service. The food is great, however it takes time to get to the table and the portions are a bit small. I enjoyed lamb chops and vegetables they were really good and juicy. I'll definitely go back there again and will recommend the place to others.

Food menu was excellent but the food did not match the expectations and the hype of the menu. The cappuccino bean was burnt and you could taste the bitterness in it. We were disappointed with the stale ciabatta bread. Overall the service was average and was disappointed that the chef only apologized to one table about the stale bread but neglected to come to our table to apologize. The setting was beautiful and very rustic.

Hadn't been in a few years, and I am glad I went. Albeit my meal was initialyy wrong, the manager was gracious enough to take care of it himself. Food was delicious; set up chilled, and atmosphere just a chilled vibe.

Very nice, relaxed atmosphere, My friend and I spent nearly the whole day catching up, and boy this was the right environment for that, enjoyed the breakfast, the platter we had was not that good, we did not finish it. Friendly staff and amazing space for those Instergram pictures.

This is one of my favorite place, to eat. The choice of food offered is wonderful, the setting, and the service is 5 star. It's definetly value for money. The prentation and the rustic ambiance is second to none

My sister and I visited the famous Market Cafe for lunch. The restaurant is beautiful with stripped wooden flooring, matte charcoal black walls and tasteful yellow seating. The aesthetics of the restaurant aside, the food was appalling and I was shocked that such a celebrated restaurant could serve up such terrible offerings. I've looked at pictures posted by other reviewers and some of what we ordered did not even look the same, such as the baked camembert with thyme and honey starter. The "baked" camembert was runny and looked like the cheese had separated, with a spoonful of raspberry compote in the centre. It was not appetizing. The arrabiata pasta with prawn and chorizo tasted bitter, as if the tomato sauce was not cooked long enough to get rid of the harsh, acidic tomato flavour. For R130, don't expect more than 4 tiny prawns and a few slices of chorizo. The sage roasted butternut and bacon pasta was atleast palatable, except that the butternut tasted steamed, not roasted with none of the caramelization or sweetness expected from roasted butternut. The bacon was not rendered at all and had an unappetizing layer of cold fat that killed the flavour of the cream sauce. We declined dessert. Response to the owner After having the chef come and explain the flavour of the baked Camembert and raspberry, an appetizer that I have eaten and enjoyed many times, I was put off. I do not need the flavours of food explained to me. There was obviously something wrong with the dish and it was an insult to my intelligence for the chef to assume that I needed an explanation. There is a problem with consistency in your restaurant. I have attached pictures from another reviewer who ordered the same starter. Please compare for yourself and answer if those would have tasted the same. Our R89 starter was discounted to R44. After such an off putting experience with your chef and the starter, we just wanted to pay the bill and leave, regardless of the subpar standard of the rest of our meal.
