Adelaide Central Market is well worth exploring. It's mainly a farmers and produce market. A large part of it is made up of fresh meat and fruit and vegetable stalls but there are also a lot of places to eat. For tourists staying in the CBD, its a good place to pick up an affordable breakfast and a coffee. We tried both Atlas and Lucia’s which were both good. Skala Bakery was great for sweet pastries. The custard filled almond croissant was so good, we went back a second day. We were tempted by the Mettwurst Shop with its range of chorizo, traditional garlic mettwurst, cabanas, and salamis. The beef jerky caught our eye but so did the spicy German sausages with names like ‘Fire Starter’ and ‘Bum Burner’. Although it's not a huge market, there is quite a lot of variety. I spent some time browsing at the second hand book stall. It’s a large one with plenty of titles if you’re looking for something to read right now but it also has specialty sections and some collectible books. I spotted a set of PG Wodehouse’s Jeeves books and there were a lot of Biggles. I didn’t pick up anything as they were all fairly pricey. My favourite stall was ‘The Turkish Delight’. Selling only hand-made Turkish Delight, the stall is a rainbow of colours with so many flavours it takes a while to choose. There were the traditional flavours of course but then there were all the others - apple pie, pomegranate, passionfruit, mango… We tasted some small sample pieces before settling on three - traditional rose, white rose and peach (3 for $25). If you’re buying for a gift, they have boxed sets.

Adelaide Central Market is a place that brings together South Australian shoppers, who want everything from bakeries to fruit and vegetables, with lots of other things. The Central Market is always busy, it's near the Adelaide CBD. Public transport is good, it's always easy to access. Construction is going on near the Central Market, there's always something happening in the area.

The Adelaide Central Market is a time piece to be cherished, as are the family genes that seem to keep pumping through them. Generations of venerated blood still flowing through some stalls, and it shows. Passion, pride, excellence. Purpose. As a whole, the Adelaide Central Markets is a medley of history and taste, family and choice. For me it is a "Wow!" Not everything is a gold star here, but most things are. With trepidation and excitement, explore with my blessing. I have also reviewed individual stalls here too.

A visit to the Central Market in Adelaide is almost a must. The market is big, busy and sells mostly fresh fruit and veges. There is also a few seafood stands as well as other different items that you might find in markets such as nuts, dried fruit, bakery products as well as non-food items. If you want to taste South Australian oysters, they are probably cheapest here. Other seafood however seem to be quite expensive. Oysters and baked cheesecake for dinner. Yum !!

the first stop in the morning for anyone in adelaide should be here, and then the next block over (chinatown). you are bound to find something good to eat between these two places the market is not as expansive as south melbourne market, but good enough. for this weekend (25 and 26 october 2024), there is even a special pop up shop of chili crab noodle, 25 AUD, a famous south east asian dish, at adelaide central market. it appears to be part of the seafood festival that seems to happen all over the place this weekend from adelaide to glenelg.

Great market right int he centre of Adelaide. So much variety of produce. Could easily see doing the weekly shop here as the prices are not at all what you'd expect from a city market. Found all the stallholders a delight to deal with, and got a great cuppa as well!

This is a small but clean, vibrant and colourful market. Lots of great stalls and places to grab something to eat and a coffee. Its a wonderful market to just stroll though and take in the sounds and colours. Its only only a few minutes walk from Victoria Square and less than 10 minutes walk from Rundall Mall A great way to spend a morning. But a note: its open on Saturdays but not Sundays!

The markets are great! All undercover, parking on the upper levels (about $5 hour approx), fresh produce and some really tasty food. We had some terrific salads and a panini for lunch, from Lucia’s in 5th Avenue from memory. Really nice baklava too, but I can’t remember the vendor. We got some yummy fresh fruit for our apartment and were on our way in about 90 minutes. You could easily spend more, or less, time here though.

I am from Sydney and my goodness I wish we had markets like this in Sydney!!! The Adelaide Central Markets has over 80 vendors, selling fresh produce and amazing food. The fruit and veggies looked so beautiful and fresh!!!! I really wished I could have taken some back to Sydney with me. We walked up and down every aisle, I had a snickers pop at Jamu which was delicious. The food looked amazing so the next day I returned for lunch and had two slices of pizza from Atlas.

I’ve been to Adelaide before but have never been to the markets because generally I head to the wineries. But this time I visited during a trip on the Indian Pacific from Perth to Sydney . and this was one of our stops. I don’t know why I haven’t visited before. It’s not huge but it has everything that you need. Beautiful fruit and vegetables and lots of produce of other kinds as well but also different types of goods to buy. , great for presents. Too many chocolate and sweet stores for my liking because I bought them all and now I’ve put on weight..😂. But seriously, it’s a lovely place and we had a lovely breakfast there as well.. so next time you’re in town try it out
