The iconic Market has been decked out in huge beautiful wreaths, twinkling fairy lights and a show stopping, beautifully decorated tree that hangs from the ceiling.
His & Hers have sampled the fare, which is really fine, and very much enjoyed lunch at Pilgrim’s on the mezzanine level.
The Market, is open from Tuesday-Sunday during the festive period, and is home to six different food vendors. Vendors include: Asian-inspired Ginger; red meat specialist Bone and Block; Cinder, open fire; plant-based Indigo Greens, Cuban-inspired Finca and Cucina Di Vincenzo.
