Time Out Market Cape Town

Time Out Market Cape Town has a great atmosphere with a vibrant, lively vibe and a variety of unique food options. Each dish was flavourful and well-prepared, though the portions were quite small and the prices felt a bit high for what you get. Still, it’s a fun place to explore different cuisines in one spot.

I’ve been to a few Time Out Markets in different cities around the world, and I have to say this one is the best I’ve been to so far! While yes, like other reviews mention, Time Out Market tends to be a bit pricier, what I like is that you can try loads of different cuisines and dishes all in one place. It’s also more affordable than other Time Out Markets I’ve been to in other countries. The main reason I really like this one though is because of the atmosphere! Even if you just come for a drink, there’s such a buzz and it’s right at the V&A Waterfront with stunning views right outside and beautiful spots for photos. Inside there’s usually music or something going on and there’s more than one bar to choose from. Overall I can highly recommend stopping in, even if just for a drink or a small bite!

I was there early! I enjoyed it! There are different places to eat. I got a dish that is like our American grits; however, they serve it without butter and salt. Great experience!

Delicious ramen with authentic Japanese flavor. The broth was rich, the noodles perfectly cooked, and the toppings generous. The place is inside a market, so the atmosphere is loud and a bit chaotic — not ideal for a quiet meal, but it adds to the casual vibe. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. Worth a visit if you’re craving good ramen without breaking the bank.

This lovely market has been tainted for me as the prices on all the bars have been covered up, we ordered a Cherry ale from the bar, its a half pint and cost R120! I was not told this by the bartender when it was ordered and when he saw I was absolutely disgusted at the price he agreed with me and shook his head acknowledging this absurd pricing. I think the other beers are more inline with standard pricing in Cape Town, however the overall pricing is generally more than you would pay anywhere else in the city with food and drinks of the same quality. I actually double checked with a restaurant in the waterfront what they charge for the same drink we ordered and it was R75. Another “interesting”price was for a flat white coffee at R50, that is also way above the market prices, I felt completely ripped off especially at the bar since the prices were not displayed, they used to be but since my last visit in June they have been covered up with tape. If i would like to pay European prices then i might as well go to Europe…. So, If you do find yourself at this market the food is good and vibe is nice, just double check on any prices before ordering as you might be in for a big surprise.

So in love with this concept. Delicious cocktails , I had some wings that were really small. The restroom was my absolute favorite. Please consider adding nachos to the menu.

Beautifully designed and awesome place for hangout. They have many selection of foods from different region. However, portion is small and very pricey eg R120 for 1 cup of beer with half cup of ice. All in all, this place is suitable for 1 time visit.

This is a review of Barakat, a Cape Malay cuisine eatery located in Time Out Market. I really wanted to like this spot, and so visited two separate times to try different dishes. The butter chicken was quite nice for the first few bites, but both dishes I tried were far too salty. The dishes were well-spiced otherwise (and the option to choose a hotter 🌶️ curry would have been great).
