Dixie American BBQ

I have been to the Market on the Wharf a few times now and every time there are new stalls or the older ones have changed position which keeps the market interesting and keeps you walking around. We started with a huge cup of Origin Coffee which was perfectly made with friendly service, another happy moment is that the bar upstairs now has their Liquor license which allows you to purchase beers to take home and you are now allowed to drink outside on the benches in the sun.

A great accompaniment to the array of beers is Dixie's Pulled BBQ Pork bun, it's a new stall specializing in smoked meats American style, Buffalo wings and Chili Dogs all accompanied by Chili Cheese fries.

We went for the Pulled Pork, a true American Classic and it was delicious, BBQ sauce, smokey pork, tangy coleslaw and spicy jalapenos, so good we went back twice.

Dixie sells bulk order smoked meats pre-ordered to go by the kilo, bottled sauces which may be couriered and a great alternative to the spit braai, just call them and they will smoke a whole Pig on site with their mobile smokers.

Go to the beer bar for great suggestions and plenty of different varieties of beer, they also do beer and food pairings and you may also hire them to set up bars at your events.

Great relaxed vibe with great food, V and A Market on the Wharf

V&A Market on the Warf

This great market opened in December in the Waterfront and is situated where the old Musica Mega Store used to be near the Aquarium.

I had the pleasure of eating what has been labelled the best burger in town which you can find at the Bite Me stand on the second floor of the market and boy when you see it you really do want to Bite into it!

I was drawn to this stand after drinking a few Weiss Beers at the bar, firstly for it's eye catching appeal and secondly the aroma of the Burgers, Panini's and Prego's grilling while sipping on my beer. I went out in search of the grill and found the stall responsible for my growling stomach and i'm so glad I did.

For between R50 - R60 you bite into this juicy, tangy garlicky burger in a ciabatta roll topped with lettuce, tomato, tzatziki and an addictive basting sauce. There are a few different options including, cheese, feta spreads, caramelized onions, fried eggs and bacon. For a manly hunger go for the Morning Glory which pretty much has all the above mentioned on it.

My other new favorite thing is the Bubble Tea, a new franchise to hit Cape Town which is a choice of different combinations of powdered tea's with floating caviar type balls , served in a special sealed cup which allows for a flavour bursting sip of cold tea.

 I chose Hazelnut Oolong with Blueberry Bubbles and also went home with a huge tub of chilli marinated olives from the olives and tapenade stall.

Visit the bar for great Local beer's both on tap and by the bottle and grab the chance to hang out with all the vendor's creating a friendly family vibe.

Some of the other stalls are an Oyster bar, coffee bar, interesting funnel cakes which i'm going to buy next time I have a sweet tooth, the creamery Ice Cream, gourmet sandwiches, Indian curries, a deli, a biscuit bar where you can pimp your own biscuit, fresh fish, sushi and a vegetarian Asian stand, all of which I could remember. Pretty much anything your heart desires.

I would choose to eat here over any other place in the waterfront, all home -made with care and attention to detail as well as very affordable as a take home dinner/lunch instead of cooking.
