Adelaide Central Market Authority Reviews

Always worth a visit. Both eclectics and basics catered for

Fresh and good quality fresh produce, amazing bakery and coffee.

Visited the Central Market on a Saturday. Took breakfast at Zuma Cafe, which has a good coffee and breakfast, comprising eggs, mushrooms, and bacon. A lot of fresh market produce, with a number of fruits stores and coffee stalls.

Best food market in town. Love coming here to shop, eat and drink whenever I'm passing by. Handy spot next to Chinatown too

Unique place, no other Australian city has market located in the very centre of the City. Good selection of stalls, local produce and plenty of places to eat. Any future alterations or developments should be carefully planned as they may destroy the uniqueness of this place.

We went there just after it had opened on Saturday in November. It is a really lovely market with lots of produce to choose from. We got fantastic breads, cheeses, fruits and cooked meat for our lunch.
Also plenty cafes to sit down.
It is located in the city really easy to find.

My favourite place to shop even though it is a lot more up market these days. Not cheap anymore but still great fresh food and lots of variety.

Wide ranging fruits and fresh produce. It says open at 7 but less than half of the he stalls were opened at 9am. Not sure if this is because it's on a Monday. Only ground floor has stores, upper levels are just carparks, no need to go up. Cafes and coffees are Available too adjunct to a small mall.

Great source of fresh food. There s heaps of veg and fruit stalls, including organic and a stall that has lots of spray free produce. Also lots of local eggs, cheese and meets etc. There s also some health food stores that sell a great selection of alternative foods.

One of the classic South Australian experiences. The coffee we had from 2 different cafes were great. Love the fresh produce stalls. Awesome way to spend a day!

Fresh food and plenty to eat. Very good place to take the family or just cruise around and look. Great place for shopping for food though.

Amazing market, all the gourmet goodies you could possibly want. Just wish we had something similar in Brisbane

Lively place for shopping and hanging out! You can find anything from fresh fruit to bakery, cheese and meat. There are a lot of places inside the market or nearby to eat or grab a snack including two food courts!

Great place to shop for veggies and bread. Also good for eating out.

Just great. Fresher than you can get anywhere else and cheaper than ALDI. Supporting local SA employees and businesses too. Win!

Open early on sat morning so you can nip in on the 1hr free spaces and be out before it gets super busy. I should have started doing this ages ago.

Wow this place is great! So many food stalls including fruit, veggies, fish, meat, bakery. They also have a food court area that includes overseas cuisine from Asia. Definitely worth to visit

Was not impressed with, what seemed to be, a change in the food hall.
Nor the failure of my parking ticket and trying to get assistance. Very poor.

Good place to buy vegetables and fruits such as mangoes

Love this place! The best markets I have been to yet!

Its good and cheap but acckrding to me quality in coles is better

Amazing collection of fantastic stalls, shops and restaurants

Unbelievable array of fresh produce. Recommend taking the tour to explore more thoroughly.

Small but nice place, lots shops and good veggies, fruits and meats,
would have been great if opened on Sunday as well.

LOVE this place! Literally has everything: Stalls with fresh cheese, produce, chocolates etc. has a bakery, butchers and a fish mongers, Coles, asian supermarkets, food court and if you walk through Central Markets from Coles side to the other side the street is just LINED with restaurants of every kind available - Asian food, steak houses, sushi restaurants, desert and ice creams, pretty much everything! Central Market also has stalls which are constantly promoting their wares via free taste - testing etc. for you to sample and try on passing. Always a fun day out just to go exploring either by yourself or with other/s to get actual shopping and to tantalize your taste buds with whatever is on offer!

The Adelaide Central Markets is a cultural icon in Adelaide and a must-visit for any tourist or local within the area. The space can be very crowded during peak times, but it's always a vibrant community of people offering local goods.

If you're shopping for produce - go on a Saturday, where all produce is cheap to account for the Sun-Mon closure.

If you're looking for something to eat - go on a weekday when the market is significantly less crowded and you can find a space to eat.

Great markets. Lots of choice. Excellent prices. Shop around first if you have the time.

Charlies Restaurant - great food, great prices, great atmosphere.
Never been disappointed... Recommend the door stops and calzone.

Fascinating! Full of colors, scents from every country!

Always fresh fruit and veg but definitely pays to walk around first checking prices to get the best bargains before buying.

Fantastic market. A wonderful variety of speciality food shops, a beautiful flower stall, great cafes & tea shops all under one roof.

Compare the food quality and prices at the market with some European deli, the market is become tooooo expensive.
It feels a lot more like a fashion
Place to shop, to be seen there

It's a shame all is commercialised and numbered

Still a nice place too look and carefully check on prices before you buy anything!!

That's my advise

lots of fresh food at low prices, a few fun shops here and there

An excellent city market, whilst not to the scale of it's Melbourne and Sydney equivalents, makes up for size in the quality of outlets - there are no weak traders here letting the reputation down. It's simply brilliant.

Great place to pick up fresh fruits and specialty foods

Very nice markets, seems like a lot of fruit and vegetables places, but there is certainly lots of other types of food too. is very busy on Fridays! Good atmosphere, I like this place!

I love the ambiance and the varieties of foods. I like the people too.

Great place to graze on the produce.Friendly atmoshere great food what more could you want.

Highly recommended! Coming over from Victoria and having been to pretty much all the major markets in Melbourne from QVM to SMM, I really feel like the freshness, quality and the prices are exceptional. Initially I didn't think it's worth visiting with the mentality of it being similar to the other ones but I'm glad we checked it out. There is a food court adjacent to the main hall that had lots of Asian food outlets which also looked VERY good. Didn't try anything but it was absolutely packed. Overall I would say ACM is a must visit even if you frequent other markets in your own town/city. Check out some of the pics... BTW if you are looking for GREAT coffee check out Lucias, I had a large coffee at almost every outlet in the market and that was the best!

Pizza hut flashbacks with excellent food and a bangin' wine selection

Some thing I had on the one day list..

So made it happen

Place has a buzz

Good day..

Great place if you live near the city and have time to do your grocery shopping. Fresh produce.

Busy, buzzing, with awesome stalls and fresh produce.

Kinda underwhelmed. Everything was expensive. Wasn't a lot there either. First hour free parking was the best bit.

fabulous market! joined to China Town it has everything. very buzzy especially in the morning. Anything you want is here!. Loved it.

The place was sooper busy people every where, that is a good signe that it is a good place to get what you are looking for.

Great energetic vibe. Prices are pretty good too if you shop around. Also can snag some bargains if you wait to the end of the day when vendors are trying to get rid of fresh produce. A couple cafes located in the markets to grab a bite to eat. Large variety of stalls: butchers, fish mongers, green grocers, coffee bean stall, old style lolly stall, baked goods, delicatessen etc. Also located next to China Town so you can walk from the markets to China Town if interested in exploring that part of Adelaide.

Cons best Polish sausage ever. If you like hot try the X rated Bum Burners or Chilli Jerky.

So much fresh fruit and vegetables to pick from! Support local and get yourself a bargain at the Central Market. Wide variety of dine in and takeaway food, as well as unique flavours from across the globe.

No matter where you've come from its absolutely a must to visit.

Good market with lot of fresh produce at reasonable prices

Absolute centre of Adelaide food culture. Gotta go.

Very good market , Vegitables, fruits and many more!!

Almost an exclusively good place but I've seen their security hassling peaceful activists so that left a sour taste in my mouth.

The market is full of vitality with loads of fresh food,cafes and variety of shops has a paid car park also

Great place to go for food shopping but we were only there on holidays so there was nothing we needed.
