Jozi Food Market

When Joburgers feel like indulging in quality food and drinks, the Jozi Food Market is a favourite place to visit. The market is in the near-north suburb of Parkhurst and was established when a group of locals realised there was a gap in the outdoor food market.

The fast pace of life in Joburg is notorious and a ready-made Saturday brunch combined with yummy pantry-fillers fits the lifestyle perfectly. The Jozi Food Market provides valued suppliers with a convenient outlet and plies consumers with home-grown and natural products.

On a Saturday morning Jozi trendsetters head to the market to sample the fabulous fare. Tables and benches are set up in the shade to enjoy the treats from the takeaway delis and food stalls. Organic vegetables, an array of meats and cheeses, and pickles and sauces are staples on the smorgasbord. Moms stock up on the family’s favourite foodie delights while the kiddies go wild on the jumping castle.

There is a bar area to relax with a cold beer, glass of wine or even a cocktail sitting out under the trees next to the open sports fields at Pirates Rugby Club.

A market favourite is ELBOWS UP DELI, the one-stop gourmet food shop that stocks the finest locally made oils and vinegars, breads and cheeses.

Opening times

The market is open every Saturday from 08h30 to 13h30
