Old Biscuit Mill

The suburb of Woodstock was a drive-by zone for years but it’s been transformed into a groovy neighborhood in recent years, thanks mostly to the Old Biscuit Mill. That project, spearheaded by two gallery owners, started as a modest green market but quickly transformed the area into a city hot spot, with great food, art and shopping. It is now home to the well-known Goodman and Michael Stevenson galleries, both pioneers in showcasing South African artists. Acclaimed chef Luke Dale-Robertson’s Test Kitchen and Pot Luck Club & Gallery cemented the area’s status as new “it” place. If your itinerary allows, visit on a Saturday to browse the Neighbourhood Goods Market, a gathering of farmers, merchants, bakers and artisans, and to experience contemporary Cape Town life at its most vibrant.
