Adelaide Central Market, Adelaide

a great place out for the family to spend a day ad shop and try out all the produce from adelaides region. got to mntion the seafood and fruit and veg by far the freshest you can get anywhere in adelaide

For all your fresh produce needs in one location, you cannot go past the Central Market. There is always a good range of fresh fruit and veg, and I especially love the unique range of seafood on offer. I love going there on a Friday night with the family, buying our fresh produce needs for the week and getting some unique speciality items from the wide range of Asian grocers, who definitely offer some competitive prices compared to the big chain supermarkets.

A busy place 24/7, but because it's in the middle of Adelaide and has pretty much everything you need to buy (grocery wise that is). A note for internationals though: you could get lost like my friend LOL

The Adelaide Central Markets are the best markets in Australia. I've been to Markets in Darwin, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney, and although there are some gorgeous night markets and the Melbourne markets have some great produce, nothing beats the sensational atmosphere and value of the ACM!

There are so many great cafes and eateries, with two food halls coming off the china town mall attached, and there are two asian grocers as well.

Lucia's fine food is very expensive but has traditional home made pasta sauces and speciality products that you won't find anywhere else.

Barossa Fine Foods is utterly incredible too. If you don't buy your meat there, you're missing out! They are the same price as Coles and Woolworths (sometimes a bit more expensive than some of the other Butchers in the market) but the quality is more than double! I've never had a dinner party where I didn't serve some barossa fine foods meat. Organic chops, juicy t-bone, home made sausages and great economy cuts too.

You can walk around for an hour and come back with a bag full of veggies for one quarter of the price it would cost at Supermarket, or peruse the gifts, get a fantastic coffee, buy some gourmet cookies or cake, (or chocolates that make a great present) buy shoes, incense or booze, or just listen to the great musicians playing at two different locations in the Market on a Saturday.

The surrounding area has some great stores too, and I rarely leave on a Saturday without eating some Nana's bakery buns or Breadtop.

The Adelaide Central Markets are an experience not to be missed when visiting the state......and is a staple for residents of Adelaide.

There really is something to suit everyone and the quality is exceptional.

From fresh produce, coffee, lunch, dinner, chocolate, nuts, ice-cream, shoes, gifts, organic and health foods etc etc etc

I could go on and on it really has it all.

The atmosphere is amazing! Quite busy Friday nights and Saturday mornings but that adds to it for me (and my family). The rest of the week is quieter and easier to get around.

It is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Open late Friday nights.

Parking is easy, plentiful and cheap.

WOW! Shopping at the Adelaide Markets is always a treat. So much to choose from and some really good bargains. Fresh, local produce and a more authentic multi-cultural variety to choose from as compared to generic supermarkets and great selection of well priced organics. Atmosphere is great, especially when the place is busy and buzzing. You can't hate doing the shopping when you go here.

Whether I pop in for a quick lunch or take the whole family on a Saturday morning this place is a feast for the senses. Check out the chocolate fountain at the bakery in the first row...

Great place to walk around and buy different things that supermarkets don't have. Parking easy above the complex. Does get a bit crowded but this adds to the atmosphere

Great range of fruits, vegetables and other fresh produce. Easy parking on top of the market at a reasonable price. Love going to the market on the weekends but it does get a bit crowded but worth it. Great specials at the end of the day saturdays when everything its on special.

Very proud to have our central markets in Adelaide. Fantastic produce, great atmosphere, excellent food & dining experiences but can be too busy to move around.
