Adelaide Central Market Authority Review

An iconic place in Adelaide, South Australia. Great atmosphere. Vibrant. Great range of stalls - fruit, veg, produce, flowers, bread, cheese and nuts, crafts... a must visit place. To buy or just browse and wander, it is worth the visit. Centrally located. Close to tram, bus stops and car parks.

Loved the wonderful flavours of Cardamon Thai Foods... the Masaman Chicken was so delicious.

Great variety of local produce. Great healthy choices for a meal. Great vegetable and vegan options too

Experience the foods of the world and a diverse range of quality local produce. You will only find the best quality produce at the central market.

Lots of people and a very busy vibe, they include many market stalls from flowers for loved ones to daily groceries! Every stall has very friendly people and would recommend shopping here (:

Very busy on Saturday when I visited. Small but great place for fresh fruits, veggies and catch-up with friends.

Be sure to check it out when you go to Adelaide. Vegetables and fruits are very fresh. There is a great coffee place, a small book stall, and I bought some fresh fruits here. There is a great Chinese restaurant near here, try the food there! Great! But their home is always busy, right next to Paparich.

Lots of variety lots of options.. get here early morning to grab fresh stuff

Favourite place in Adelaide! We do all our fresh food shopping here. The produce is amazing! Some great eateries like Comida, Jamface and Le Souk.

Great produce, love hunting for bargains. Great vibe

One of Australia's best local food markets. If you can manage it, a walk through around 7am to see the stallholders setup and gossip, whilst grabbing a coffee from Lucia's is a wonderful thing to do.

I love all of the beautiful fresh produce and the lovely aromas

Interesting to see the fruit and vegetable products on display, there is also a butcher who sells kangaroo meat including parts that are generally not found.

Very good quality fruit and veg at a good price. Can vary between stalls from must be eaten today to will last (price reflects this). Cards only if over $10 otherwise cash. Do check your change.

If you are going to cook your own food, you should look for it here.

An eclectic assortment of shops and vendors. if you need it, someone is selling it. I sought out a Chemist (Pharmacy) to refill a prescription and then went to the Coles Supermarket for Grocery items.

Went here 23 December taking advantage of the early trading hours. Arrived at 6.30 am, parked easily. Produce was fresh and reasonably price. Service at all stalls was fast. Finished shopping in under 40 mins. The crowds were starting to build up when I left.

Bustling and vibrant with activity, Central market is the place to go for some of the nicest produce in Adelaide.

Great prices, fresh produce, jaw dropping discounts on Saturday afternoons.

We were only walking around because we had not been in Adelaide in a very long time. My husband had never been to the Market so was interested in having a look. Purchased a book & fruit. Have to come back another day & have a good look around.

The markets are awesome, best in Australia, awesome food and bustling and alive

Beautiful this market I recommend you visit it you will also make excellent purchases

Love visiting Adelaide Central Market. So many stores offer fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers.
There are also Cheese specialist stores with a wide variety on offer.
Charlesworth Nuts are also there with a delicious range of roasted and raw nuts, including dried fruits.
You can sit and enjoy a coffee and snack or simply walk around looking for the best quality at a good price.

Always welcoming with great food and friendly, helpful people

Went to Lucia's on Friday 21/619. Good food but terrible service. I acknowledge that Friday night is very busy but had to wait 40 minutes for 2 steaks. Really annoyed that people around us who came after and were ordering similar food got theirs before us. No apologies and had to ask 2 different waiting staff to check on our meals. Neither bothered to get back to us. Won't be coming back and won't be recommending it to others. If you're going to pride yourself on being an iconic institution at least act like one.

Between the malls, wonderland of stalls & Chinatown, you can find anything edible & more. Great whole foods & organics, breads, gourmet, cheeses, nuts... Many ethnic & local specialties. Best of all: it's beautiful, a world of colour & pride.

Great place with different varieties of food and fruit

Fantastic place with loads of food options.. recommend a visit

Must do when in Adelaide, if not just for the people watching. Freshest food you can get, cheap prices, and a lively atmosphere!

Great range of fresh seafood, fruit & veg with Chinatown all in walking distance. Established 1890 and still going strong today. You can get the first hour free parking in the car park above.

Very vibrant and multicultural. Great place for healthy choices lunch or coffee snacks.

Great variety of food and produce stalls. Always a great buzz.

Great choice of fresh produce and good cheap meals.

I love the market. The people, the food, the variety and the atmosphere. It is fun, lots of colour with a carnival hype, that doesn't wane.

Always a huge and fresh range of produce and specialty stores

Fun place to visit, even if all you buy is lunch.
Not necessarily good value though...

Excellent produce great place to do your weekly shop

Get in early before the best stuff is sold out! Try to avoid on weekends as the tourists and sightseers will get in your way of a bargain :) Such a lively and fun place to shop.

I just love going there with heaps of variety for different shops from food to clothing to art.

Fabulous market. Always take visitors there for a great food experience and tastings

Always good produce and a great place to find some breakfast. I would shop here every week routinely if it weren t so far away from home!

The best selection of fresh produce in the state and to add a great place to have a pho or dumplings

The markets were great. I got all the fruit and veg I needed at a great price

Great selection of high quality local produce. Also a good place to take tourists or people from out of town.

Chinese food court is good for a cheap all you can eat for $5-$15

Nice place to visit and there is plenty to look at.

Been using since 1974 an incredible array of product and prices ... only suggestion look first then buy product and prices vary greatly from stall to stall and shop to shop in general good quality and better choises than most supermarkets and the cafe and coffee shops are excellent

Real gem. Best undercover food markets in Australia.

Plenty of fresh produce, good coffee outlets and cured meats.

Good markets for fresh food. Not quite my scene, but seems it would be a good place for people who like this kind of stuff

Love wandering around the stalls, you'll find the best produce here! Plus a cute little second-hand bookshop.

Worth spending time looking round, and even spending money.

There are many varieties, fresh vegetables and fruits, and convenient parking.

Great place to buy row materials for cooking. But sadly,there isn't much fish.

Nice place to explore. Unique atmosphere. Has a lot of food options.

An excellent place to shop. There are fruit and vegetable shops that are reasonably priced, especially on Saturday and Tuesday afternoon.
A beautiful place for hiking and shopping, and you can find everything

Heaps of fresh produce, hunt for a bargain as there is many stalls selling similar products. Can get very busy, especially in good weather. Heaps of food options inside and out. Has a range of different products from speciality foods to books.
