The Story of Food

The combination of a market and a restaurant provided an unique opportunity to tell the story of food in its full cycle, allowing us to introduce relevant ideas such as food security, urban farming and sustainable technologies into the narrative to enhance the concept.

The Restaurant Layout

As an extension of the urban farm, all the interior walls are lined with vertical aquaponic farm to supplement the restaurant with fresh produce.

The ground floor of Moyo’s V&A restaurant is divided into three zones in the open plan space, each traces the story of food - from raw food processed by the butcher, to it been prepared over open grills and served onto the tables.

The first floor is the formal dining space with a stage for live entertainment.
