Fodor's Expert Review The Neighbourgoods Market

Known as the Biscuit Mill, this market is partially responsible for putting ever-gentrifying Woodstock on the map with Cape Town's hip, organic types who scoot in on their Vespas looking for artisan breads, pesto, home-cured olives, and fancy cheeses. It gets frantically busy by 10 am, but if you want to rub shoulders with trendy design types and eat fabulous artisanal everything, this is the place to be. The prepared foods are wonderful, and many of Cape Town's most beloved eateries got their start here and most still maintain a presence. When you're done browsing the food market, check out the crafts section with its lovely handmade leather goods, designer clothing, and jewelry, or carry on to the great stores in the same complex. Get there before 9:30 (or after 1:30) or be crushed by the crowds. Music events are not uncommon, and craft beer and boutique wines are also for sale.
