This is a factory outlet for the public and its quality cheeses are the best value for money you’ll find. The premises were recently revamped and enlarged but its offerings remain the same. Best is the low-fat cottage cheese and feta sold in one to five litre tubs. The texture of the cottage cheese is fantastic and it’s half the price of anything you would find in supermarkets. Ditto the feta. You’ll have to visit to find your own favourites. | Western Cape

Several supermarkets and
delicatessens stock the
charcuterie of this German
butchery, but it’s worth travelling
to the outskirts of the city as the
prices are much lower here and
you can sample the frikadellen
and caraway-crusted smoked
pork belly. Tradition is respected
and is evident in the pâtés, which
range from a textured country
to a smooth duck pâté. The
smoked duck breast and smoked
boerewors can’t be found at any
other outlets. | Western Cape
Super Meat Market
Shop 2, Probhako House, 274 Main Road, Kenilworth
021 797 5595
One of the star Southern Suburbs
butcheries, this is the place to
come for dry-aged beef, organic
Karoo lamb, superb boerewors
and the kind of old-fashioned
sausages that supermarkets
don’t stock. There’s also a range
of meat spices. |

This is the mother of all flower
markets; in fact it’s the largest in
Africa. Don’t be intimidated by
those bidding for flowers as they
are mostly pros with retail shops;
there are more than enough
regular florist shops in the Flower Mall. With sales of more than three million stems a year, the allure
is of affordable flowers for any
occasion. Here you can still buy a
decent bunch of flowers for R100. |
