Adelaide central Market is the heart of Adelaide city. Located right next to Chinatown it is surrounded by many diverse restaurants and cafes. The market itself is a feast of produce of all types - fruit, vegetables, cheeses, coffee, chocolate, breads and pastries, meat, fish and flowers. There are frequent cooking demonstrations and often buskers to accompany your wanderings. One... More

we have been to many markets and really enjoyed this one. We felt the inner aisles had more variety and higher quality food produce so glad we kept walking to find places like Say Cheese.

This is an amazing place to visit and just look at the diversity of food that are available to eat. You can get any type of food here to take home and cook and eat there. We even saw a demo on the making of soft cheeses which was great.

Great markets, lots of choice and atmosphere. Grab some food and head to one of the many parks for a picnic.

Such a great thing to do even as visitors to the city. We stocked up on food for a delicious dinner to cook in our apartment. The produce is sensational and the vibe is great. Its bustling but not too busy and frantic and there are some top quality producers selling some amazing food. Wish we could go every weekend!

The market is easy to get to, almost in the centre of the city and plenty of parking. Not just in the car park above the market but also in the surrounding streets. Although on a hot day it is a bit stifling, it is a good place to spend a couple of hours. Because we were travelling we could... More

This market is the reason why we always stay in apartments with cooking facilities whenever we visit Adelaide. Don't miss it. Ticks all the boxes in terms of freshness, variety and sustainability. Delish!

Good choices from avocados to strawberries and the opportunity to buy breads, croissants and potato/feta/veggie pancakes too. A nice stroll enjoying the action of vendors and an auction on a Saturday about 2:30 to hasten food off the shelves, worth a trip.

If you are a foodie you must go to the central Market in Adelaide. It is just amazing and dare I say in some respects better than Vic Market but I think they cater for a different type of person. Cakes, coffee, fruit, veggies, seafood, nuts, cheese oh the cheeses, bakers... I just about squeal when I got to the... More
