February is the month of love and the I heart Market will celebrate with its traditional bi-annual “sale” market on Saturday 3 February from 9am to 2pm at Northlands Primary School, in Durban North.
Following two busy and packed festive season markets in its new home at Northlands Primary School, which was well received by customers, February’s I heart Market will offer a range of discounted products.
“We were over the moon with the turn for our first markets at Northlands Primary, with a steady stream of customers, and great sales for our traders who are all small business entrepreneurs,” enthuses Manager of the Market, Tanith Molliere. “Our February market is kind of the “January Sales” market with great offers to help those budgets that may have been stretched during the holidays.”
February’s Market promises a magical shopping experience with wares created with love and care by local artisans and small businesses, reflecting a deep commitment to their artistry and craft. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner – there will also be a gorgeous array of “romantically-inspired” products available.
As always, the market is filled with handmade treasures ranging from fine leather goods, unusual ceramics, exquisite jewellery and accessories, innovative visual art, home decor, plants, clothing, condiments and pickles, cured meats, a delightful selection of delicious baked goods. Of course, the usual mouth-watering array of food truck eats, catering to every palate including vegan and vegetarian.
There is also a secure play area for children between the ages of 1 and 6, with qualified Teacher’s Assistants in attendance available for the morning for those parents who want to take a break to shop or enjoy some delicious food. There is a fee of R100 for the morning or part thereof. A “pram park” is also available for people to leave their prams whilst shopping to help avoid congestion in the hall.
The market is housed in the school hall and surrounding gardens from 9am to 2pm, and takes place rain or shine as most of the traders are under cover. Parking is available in designated school areas, with security guards to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Sevruga is by far my favourite. Attention to detail, friendly staff AND management and a great vibe sway my vote to this spot!

I love Sevruga because of the elegant and classy look and feel. It is such an intimate, fine dining restaurant and I love that it is away from all the hustle & bustle. The food is impeccable and the menu is so diverse accommodating for all different palettes!
Please pick me 🙂

Sasha
14 November 2013 at 12:45 pm
Definitely Sevruga!! The attention to detail and the immaculate settings as well as the homely nature of the staff makes the experience memorable. You enter feeling embraced and with their high level of customer care, like you’re the only customers. The food is simply divine and enthrals the taste buds. An amazing and worthwhile experience.

Beluga is because it does the best sushi that I have even put my mouth too. So fresh, so tasty, so amazing. The best sushi experience is always at Beluga 🙂

Beluga is my favourite of the two, great friendly service, best peppercrusted/salted steak in Durban, awesome calamari with peanut sauce and those honey & duck pot stickers are legendary. Wish i could work there, lots of inspiration and creativity. Why beluga and not sevruga? Only because beluga is a bigger venue, more space, feels less crowded and i like space 🙂

They say you should eat to live but not live to eat. Having said that, when you do sucuumb to the need to eat, make sure you eat the best that money can buy. Well hello, Beluga! The name sure sounds exotic but trust me the cuisine will blow your mind away. Think fresh seafood, innovative sushi & an extensive wine cellar!I have had the honour of dining at Beluga when I visited Cape Town & I was mesmerised by the fusion cuisine which was beautifully presented. Well, imagine my delight when I saw that Beluga is right here in sunny Durbs! I had to pay them a visit so I could tuck into the delicious cuisine. I adore the decor, the brave culinary combinations,the heavenly desserts,stunning hostesses & most importantly the vibe! It’s about time that Durbs got an injection of international cuisine. Weekends will never be the same now that Beluga & Sevruga are in town. Did I mention that the best Creme brûlée is served there! Ok then, I am putting Beluga on speeddial!!

Definitely SEVRUGA… Was trying to think where my husband and I could take my parents for an early Christmas treat before the silly season kicks off into full force.. The voucher would definitely help! 😉
Beverley Dias
14 November 2013 at 1:22 pm
I absolutely can never get enough of Beluga since I am a dim sum addict of note. It is the place which always springs to micd first when I need to take clients for lunch or an afternoon with friends. Of course the ambience, the efficient staff, good parking and the phenomenal wine list are all positives which ensure that I keep coming back for more.

I have been to Sevruga twice and loved it… but I’m keen to try Beluga’s white chocolate Beignets… I hear they are incredible!
Carmen
14 November 2013 at 1:25 pm
Beluga sushi is by far my favorite!! You can’t go wrong with an awesome night out with friends, enjoying some delicious sushi and sipping on some yummy cocktails 🙂

SEVRUGA <3 transports me into an atmosphere of comfortable elegance whilst taking my taste buds on a tantalizing voyage of aromatc herbs and spices coupled with the finest meats and vegetables. Definitely a must for any Durbanite who knows a thing or two about good food !

Sitting on the verandah at Sevruga, Gateway sipping on a gin mojito, as recommended by the manager, whilst nibbling on fresh sushi is a great Sunday afternoon treat!
Tracy Tomlinson
14 November 2013 at 1:44 pm
Sevruga for sure! I’m a wine lover and their wine wall is awesome!!!
pas
14 November 2013 at 1:49 pm
Both restaurants are amazing, and both bring awesome memories to mind – wine and sushi at Beluga with my mum and sister while we catch up and people watch and then cocktails and dim sum at Sevruga with my man, sitting ‘outside’ enjoying the laughter of kids on the slides and the clink of champagne glasses as the man at the table beside us proposed to his now fiance.
If I had to pick though, I’d go for Sevruga upstairs as it gets the last on the afternoon sun…

14 November 2013 at 2:55 pm
I absolutely adore Sevruga! It has an amazing romantic ambience and I have their springbok dish EVERY time I go!!
It is the best fine dining restaurant in durban with outstanding service.

14 November 2013 at 2:56 pm
Sevruga – because it’s a bit quieter (hidden gem below the virgin active gym) – also they offer the hand rolls with either cucumber or sea-weed, whilst Beluga only offers them with seaweed.
Ivana Beesham
14 November 2013 at 3:00 pm
tough choice – I’ve eaten at both and love the food and the experience. But if I had to choose it would be Beluga . . . .to start off its a closer walk from my flat :), the food is awesome, the waiters are friendly and deliver excellent service, the food arrives timeously and the restaurant itself is gorgeous!!
VAL OPPERMAN
14 November 2013 at 3:17 pm
The restaurant BELUGA appeals to me. The name reminds me of the Italian Fashion House Bugari; famous for opulence, quality, expensive & from the looks of it the Beluga restaurant doesn’t mind patrons dancing on the bar counter drinking Moet & Chandon Champagne; I would fit in well!
Nicola Meyer
14 November 2013 at 3:18 pm
Sevruga is my choice as I am not a sushi eater.
Harsha

Haven’t been to either…… So would love to dine at either and share my experiences after……

I Like both for different reasons . How do I choose ? Guess I’m not winning anything then 🙁

I am biased because my first experience of Caviar was Beluga in Cape Town & it became our weekly sushi date to satisfy our cravings so every visit to the Durban one immediately reminds me of the good times at the CT branch – it’s like travelling to another city for a meal :). I love the decor! Reminds me of a New York Sushi Bar & creates a cosy & warm environment to get tucked into amazing main meals or divine fresh sushi. I love Sevruga, but Beluga’s got me wrapped around it’s fingers! 🙂
Paula Macnab
15 November 2013 at 5:45 am
Definitely Sevruga, the atmosphere is just WOW with the low lighting! I also love the food especially the sushi and dium sums( that’s definitely not the spelling). The waiters are also extremely friendly! It’s a world-class experience!
