The menu caters for all tastes but inspired by the Afro-Porto fusion of Mozambique. Eating and drinking, whether in a home or on the street, is a way of life in Mozambique – this essence of this is captured in, what we call, our Barraca’s. No frills … Some spills … Plenty of laughs and an appreciation for the wisdom of simplicity. Passionate about friends and family coming together over exceptional food and a welcoming experience! This is exactly what we have created, a “sink your toes into the sand and sip on cocktails and R&R’s while the sun goes down” experience.

Immerse yourself in the most beautiful outdoor market in Johannesburg. Having recently re-located to the beautiful Modderfontein Reserve, the second largest privately owned reserve in Gauteng, Fourways Farmers Market has re-established its reputation as the prettiest market in Joburg. The 265-hectare private reserve is the second-largest private park in Gauteng and includes portions of the Modderfontein Spruit, a number of dams, grassland and hills. The market is located on an estate within the reserve and is a mere 10 minutes from Sandton. Newly built roads and access from Marlborough Drive and the N3 ensure the market is easily accessible. There is also ample parking. Once you’ve entered the traditional farm-style corrugated entrance you’ll find yourself presented with an exquisite refuge from the city. Walk down the flower and olive tree lined path and through to our hay bale picnic lawn.
