The Foodbarn Deli.
Noordhoek is one of my favourite suburbs in Cape Town.
There’s the fantastic beach where you can walk for miles. It’s usually almost deserted, which I find amazing, as it’s so close to Cape Town.
Close by you’ll find the Noordhoek Farm Village, which is a huddle of little retail and food outlets built around a grassy square. You can dine in Franck Dangereux’s Foodbarn if you are in the mood for something special, or in the deli across the square if you are in more a casual frame of mind.
After a long walk on the beach, accompanied usually by a few energy filled teenagers and a sand covered dog, the deli usually hits the spot for me. They have a wonderful deli to browse through, delicious free range roast chicken with all the trimmings to take away, a great selection of wines, second hand books to browse and big long bench tables to spread out and read the papers.
They are now doing tapas. Done well, tapas are a great way of keeping the hunger pangs at bay while having a few drinks
