Welcome To The Home Of Lekker Braai
A lekker braai is about more than what goes on the fire. It’s good food, plenty to go around, and the people you enjoy sharing it with.
Whether it’s a quick midweek braai, the whole family coming over or friends around for the rugby, Food Lover’s Market has everything you need to make it lekker, with plenty of choice, freshness and great value all in one place.
This Is What Lekker Looks Like
There’s more than one way to have a lekker braai. But good food, good people and a lekker fire is a pretty good place to start.
Meet Bobby
Our Butchery Expert
Bobby, what makes a really good braai?
It starts with quality meat and plenty of choice. Whether it’s steak, chops, wors, chicken or ribs, our Butchery has something for every braai, taste and budget.
With so much choice in the Butchery, how do you know what meat to choose?
Think about who you’re feeding and how you want to braai. Steaks and chops are great for something quick, while chicken, wors, ribs and espetadas add variety for a crowd. And if you’re unsure, ask your butcher, we’re always happy to help.
Food Lover’s has a new range of marinated meats. What’s different about them?
We’ve paired quality cuts of beef, lamb, pork and chicken with lekker marinades like Heritage Smoke, Steakado and Garlic & Herb Butter. The prep is already done, just choose your favourite and pop it straight onto the braai.
What’s one piece of advice you’d give someone who wants to braai meat better?
Don’t rush it. Get your fire right, give the meat time to develop colour and flavour, and remember that every cut cooks differently. When in doubt, ask your butcher. We’d rather help than see a good steak ruined!
Why can Food Lover’s Market call itself the Home of Lekker Braai?
Because you can shop for the whole braai in one place. From quality meat and fresh produce to spices, sauces, sides, biltong and something sweet afterwards. It’s all about great choice, quality and value.
A Cut Above The Rest
We’ve just introduced a new range that pairs quality cuts with marinades that have been carefully matched to complement the meat. The range includes flavours such as Heritage Smoke, Steakado, Spicy Mediterranean, Tuscan, Garlic & Herb Butter and Roasted Paprika & Garlic, with all the prep already done.
Everything For A Lekker Braai
We’ve got the range and value across all our departments to make it lekker.
Butchery
It starts with what goes on the fire, and our Butchery gives you plenty of choice across beef, lamb, pork and chicken.

Biltong
Whether it’s game day, braai day or any other day… South Africans love their biltong. Every bite is like a little piece of home. That’s why we take care to bring you the best value Beef Biltong and Droëwors in South Africa. So, get to your nearest Food Lover’s Market and enjoy our Beef Biltong and Droëwors. Food Lover’s Market, the Home of Biltong.
Spices
Our spice range gives you plenty of ways to make the braai your own, whether you keep things simple with salt and pepper, have a family spice mix that nobody is allowed to interfere with, or like trying something different. There are spices, rubs and seasonings for meat, chicken, fish and vegetables, so you can build the flavours you love across the whole braai.
Fresh
Our fresh produce departments are filled with all the fruit and veg that turn what’s on the fire into a proper meal. Think mielies and mushrooms for the grid, potatoes for the coals, peppers, tomatoes and onions, fresh herbs and chillies, and plenty of fresh ingredients for salads and sides.
Dessert
You can finish the braai with something freshly baked from our Bakery, like a delicious milktart or an easy dessert that can go straight onto the table. You can even use the last of the coals and put something sweet onto the braai…S’more anyone?
You
It’s about people coming together around the fire. It’s friends arriving hungry, family pulling up another chair, the rugby playing in the background, and somebody offering very confident advice about how you should be cooking the meat. It’s familiar, local and very South African.
