Adelaide Central Market Authority Reviews

Best place for cheap local fresh fruit and vegetables. Lots of variety. Go towards the end of the day and super cheap specials.

If you are in Adelaide it is a must place to visit. A free tram ride is available from the central train station. It is a different world, unlike Randall Mall. You go back in time when you go there. So many fresh produce (fruits and vegetables, cheeses, pickles etc.) outlets. Different prices different qualities, different varieties all in one place. You can taste what you are buying before you buy.
There is a food court and a Coles also adjacent to it.
If I visit Adelaide I will certainly go there.

Always great to go to the market, fresh food, well priced, great atmosphere.

A wonderful array of gourmet and fresh food at great prices. I could visit again and again.

Great variety of shops. Massive choice of produce and products. Even though it can get very busy it's a pleasant experience. Plus has a great food hall with eat there or take out options.

Always great place for produce and a fabulous place for brunch, an Adelaide icon!

Interesting.. went there 3 times when I was in Adelaide

So much to see, do and buy, plus lunch at Cumbia was delicious

A haven for vegetarians, foodies and bargain shoppers looking for fresh fruit and vegetables. Lunch or a cafe stop is no problem, the variety is as plentiful as the produce. If it's bread, meat or seafood that you are after, there are also vendors to meet those needs.

So diverse and you'll always get what you need and some things you don't there is so much to look at and purchase

Very nice market, almost everything of the daily needs is available there

South Australian produce available in one area at reasonable prices in a fun market environment. I catch the tram here and bring a large chiller bag which fills quite rapidly. I seek Organic food where possible and there is good selection available from various sites. You need to take your time if you don't visit regularly so plan ahead to rest with fresh juice or great coffee at one of cafes to pace yourself. Notice boards alert visitors to new events and there is an information booth for personalised service. The toilets are cleaned regularly. Bench Seating is available at some busy intersections to sit and take in the lovely market ambience. ATM's are close by and all stalls have Eftpos.

Always a delight. Cheeses, hams, fruit and vegies galore.

Always a great experience. Can be busy, but if you're not in a rush you can take your time and soak it all in. From italian small foods to fresh produce, to south american, spanish and marrocan... Even polish and japanese. If you can eat it and think of it, you can probably find it here!

Love the market, the smells, the variety. Great places to eat and great food to buy

Wow, so much yummy fresh & prepared foods to choose from. One of the better markets I've been to

All vegetables that you want can be found in this place, always fresh and at good prices.

Great atmosphere, so much food, so many choices. Some good produce at great prices.

Such fresh and affordable produce. Easy to navigate. Had Asian food from a fringe shop... was fantastic.

What an amazing place...
You can buy nearly everything fresh you need for your cooking, or you just get fed here

We found raclette and county cheese for really cheap so I put live 5 stars without hesitation. Yum yum

It's great to browse around the central markets. There's always something of interest and great quality food.

I hate the city but love the central markets. Kids love the adventure when we do go. Lots of fantastic fresh meat, veg and much more. Paid parking close by for easy access. I'd highly recommend for people looking for good quality at comparative prices.

If you need food ok..but more then a local food place it is not

Adelaide Icon. As is Lucia's Pizza & Spaghetti Bar, where there is something for everyone

Great Experience, Plenty of New Things to See and To Do,

Fantastic food market. Fruit and vegetables, deli's, bakeries etc. Lots of great places to eat.

Awesome selection of cafes, fruits, bread shops. I always get stunned at the wide range of pastries available. The mushroom shop is awesome

Great quality and range of locally grown and produced products. I love having an early morning breakfast at the markets and shopping for my weekly groceries including a few luxury items after. Vendors are more than happy for market goers to taste test.

Love the atmosphere, food vendors and easy parking.

Just a great selection of shops selling all kinds of food. Wish we had something like this in Newcastle.

I like coming here for the variety, even if it's just to stroll around until we find something or someplace to eat. I usually buy mushrooms and chicken frames from this market.

This is the best market in the country. The freshness and locality of the food is the best I've seen anywhere, where else can you see at least 5 varieties of grapes. There are long established cafe's such as Lucia's, which is an institution to newcomers like Jamface cafe which is the child of tv chef Poh. Where else can you see a Chinese instrument shop? Lunch from a Latvian cafe? This place has everything.

Small prices, various fruits, veggies, meats and cheeses. True aussie. Bannanas are almost half price compared to supermarkets.

Love this place fresh fruit, veg, great selection of deli meats, baked goods etc well worth a visit

Adelaide's grandest display of food and treats. The whole organic chicken from Vegas Chicken is the freshest to cook Tuesdays and Fridays when they get deliveries. Wish there was more organic produce there. Just one stall but not that affordable and sometimes not that fresh. We love the 40 cent old rides for kids too as makes the trip more fun.

This traditional market sells lots of fresh fruits, vegies, yummy foods and the price is great! The location is good, easy to get a car park or to go there by public transport, e.g. bus, tram.

Love the Markets! Everything I need and want under one roof.

Fresh fruits and vegetables and first hour free Carpark

A lot of business. There is everything to choose from: greengrocers, greengrocers, butchers, spices, bars to sit and eat, etc. It is a business maze. Around 1:30 p.m., fruits and vegetables begin to be auctioned, it is a great opportunity to take advantage of the offers.

Relaxed friendly and easy going.....

....and for KHMER food and the BEST iced coffee that I've ever come across in over countries visited, go to SHOP 56 - LITTLE KHMER KITCHEN.
Run and owned by a delightful young Cambodian lady from SW Cambodia, also features great street food. And it is authentic, I've been to Cambodia 5x.

One thing I really like about these markets, when compared to most others I've been to around the world, and certainly in Australia, is the great mix of quality food outlets and coffee/quality food places. Very nice feeling with these markets, must be on yr itinerary.

Really nice markets with everything you need, cheap

Interesting market with an array of different shops with good quality produce.

Doesn't look that great but useful and convenient, I liked it

Characteristic, quiet and clean. Lot of fresh and cooked food, very nicely maintained and showed.

Great place to visit. Unfortunately due to being on a tour there was no time to stop and take it all in. Would have been better if we were shown fewer places and given more time to enjoy the market.

Great market. Loved all the produce and other shops

Best produce, so much variety, car parking is plenty and free on weekends i believe. The asian food court smelt wonderful, lots of options. Great value and friendly service. I miss being able to come here daily.

Havent been there for 3 years. What a wonderful place fresh vegies etc cheap and everyone is friendlywill go back to buy everything what a bargain

It was good place for shopping! I could get fresh fruits and vegetables!

10/10 got everything I needed.... We are very lucky to live in such a beautiful State

Gentrified to within an inch of its life, but that suits me I guess.

What a great place to shop or visit
You can sit and watch the whole world walk past
How very multicultural we are
Very friendly place

Great vibrant market with a great range of produce and places to eat

Good produce, excellent restaurants, a lil run down but still chilled as

Great food. My only gripe is there not enough seating.

This fresh food market is one of the best in Australia.

You need to go there even if you are not buying anything!

One of THE BEST attributes of Adelaide - simply divine, brilliant in every way. The place is bursting with colour, beautiful aromas, people galore, simple AND exotic food. LOVE THIS PLACE. Captivating!

A wide variety, all kinds of seafood, vegetables, fruits, etc. are complete

I work 10 mins walk from the market so regularly shop there for dinner. Feast is our favourite butchers their salt bush lamb shanks are amazing as are their rump steaks. The markets has a huge range of produce and dishes from stunning local foods to amazing pastas and Asian dishes. Recommended 100% if you are in Adelaide.
