CARNE launch at Cape Town’s Time Out Market

Chef Giorgio Nava, owner of four popular eateries in Cape Town, will expand his portfolio and open the much-loved CARNE at Time Out Market Cape Town. With the opening of the first – CARNE on Keerom in 2008 – Giorgio pioneered a new approach to enjoying diverse prime cuts, allowing the meat to do the talking in the true Italian minimalist tradition.

Giorgio is one of South Africa’s most successful chefs and restaurateurs. 2023 marks 20 years that he has shared his Italian culinary passion with Capetonians…

CARNE on Keerom was a natural extension of his passion for Romagnola beef, Dorper lamb and venison sourced from the Karoo. Nava is highly respected for his uncompromising quality and Milanese flair presented at his restaurants in Cape Town. His unflinching faithfulness to traditional North Italian cuisine using South African field-to-table provenance, is legendary amongst the city’s restaurant-going fraternity.

Well known for his work ethic and unerring commitment to quality ingredients – to which the string of awards for best Italian restaurant garnered over the past two decades can attest – Giorgio is one of South Africa’s most successful chefs and restaurateurs. 2023 marks 20 years that he has shared his Italian culinary passion with Capetonians and the many visitors to the city over the years.

NØSH CAFÉ serves up the ultimate coffee experience

Conceptualised by the team behind beloved South African high-end speciality coffee brand, Origin, NØSH CAFÉ will offer an extraordinary coffee experience, pouring three of the country’s finest at the Market – Origin, Truth, and Tribe.

The journey started back in 2006, with a vision to create a world-class coffee culture in South Africa, and the belief that coffee – originally from Africa – should never be anything less than extraordinary. A mission that led to Origin De Waterkant winning Coffee Magazine’s award for ‘South African Café of the Year’ in 2022.

The team behind it – spearheaded by Origin founder, Joel Singer – will serve at Time Out Market the finest locally roasted coffee, poured with deep passion and experience, along with all-day breakfasts and an eclectic menu of light meals and baked goods inspired by global travel. All with a local, down-to-earth, neighbourhood feel.

Time Out Market Cape Town – committed to supporting locals

Through a larger partnership between the V&A Waterfront and Harambee – that aims to unlock employment opportunities within the V&A Waterfront neighbourhood – 20 entry-level positions at the Market were sourced through Harambee’s SA Youth platform.

Once sourced through the platform, Time Out Market Cape Town saw an opportunity for the same 20 young people to go through an intensive ‘work readiness’ program, enabled by Solve@Waterfront, Harambee and Passion4Performance. The aim of the programme is to equip young people with the essential soft skills needed for success in the hospitality industry.

Market vendors (like Peter Tempelhoff of the FYN team) who already work with outreach programmes like Infinity Culinary Training to upskill students and provide practical training, will continue to do so – with further opportunities to tap into Time Out Market stakeholders for increased involvement in shaping the young lives of those involved, improving lives through cooking.

The Market will also be utilising the services of trusted transport provider, LULALoop – a local business that connects corporate commuters to safe, affordable and sustainable shuttles across South Africa. Market staff will be safely transported home, and all vendors in the Market will be recommended to use this service for their teams.

“We can’t wait to bring the incredible experiences we’ve announced over the last few months to life when we open the doors of Time Out Market Cape Town on 17 November,” says Russ Meyer, General Manager of Time Out Market Cape Town. “The Market will be home to outstanding local chefs and restaurateurs who are all raring to go and welcome our guests. Together, we will proudly present Cape Town as a leading culinary and cultural hub, and are committed to supporting and showcasing local talent to a local and global audience.”
