Browsing shops can easily turn into a lunch outing. At Joburg Artist Market at 27 Boxes, the venue’s food directory lists options for both a coffee stop and something more substantial.

Two names to look out for are Reserved Cafe and Chopstix, both listed within the Melville precinct.

Reserved Cafe: coffee and a light lunch

Reserved Cafe’s listing includes coffee, sandwiches and lunch specials. It's a good option for a break between shops or a place to meet before exploring.

Ask about the day’s specials and prices when you arrive.

Chopstix: dim sum and fried rice

Chopstix offers dim sum and fried rice, giving visitors another lunch option within the precinct.

If you are ordering for a group, check the portion sizes before deciding what to share. Ask directly about ingredients if you have dietary requirements.
