Mojo Food Market

With the sun shining and an extra day off from work meant I needed to get out of Franschhoek to explore some food spots and there is no better place than Seapoint. The perfect spot to go when I don't know what people like is the mojo food market. A cozy setup indoors with many different food stalls and four bars all offering a different selection of cuisines. I felt like a kid in a candy store. My absolute favorite stall is Al Fresco and they specialize in flat breads. Their flat breads are flaky and topped with a mountain of fresh ingredients. I got the pulled beef with rocket and avocado and it was a mouth watering with just the first bite, with an added crunch to complete the experience. The bulled beef on top of the flatbread had made this meal a hearty warm meal.

Next we had a had a pizza from Earthfire pizza and although their menu had so many classics , we decided to try something different, maybe something that would make the Italians a little angry. We decided to get a brie and fig pizza. When you collect your pizza, they layout fresh toppings for you to choose from to finish off your pizza before they box it up. We decided to steer away from that option due to the flatbread already having so much greens on. When taking a bite of the pizza, you can taste the matured cheese, leaving a delicate umami flavour and then balanced out with a sweet jammy flavour coming through from the fig. The sweetness was deep and enriching because of the fact that the food stalls uses small pizza ovens to slowly bake the pizza. Slow and steady always wins the race.

There is seating upstairs and downstairs and we obviously chose to sit upstairs to get the view of the ocean while we enjoy our meal. There is a stage for live performances and all the tables have a clear view so if your favorite band or comedian is performing at the market you don't have to worry about missing out on all the fun.

This food market is great for a quick bite to eat, or for anyone looking for a fun foodie activity and even a great place to start exploring different cuisines. A group of friends can enjoy this energetic food market any day of the week.
