We have recently had some helpful comments from our readers telling us that the reviews and photos we are posting is making them hungry. Here’s this posts disclaimer. Warning this upcoming post may cause hunger pangs, and a genuine desire for you to go to your local produce market! With that out of the way, if you’re in Adelaide or travelling there soon, head to the Adelaide Central Market and purchase some of the fresh local and internationally sourced produce available.
The Adelaide Central Market is located in Chinatown, between Grote and Gouger Streets in the city centre. There are many small Asian shops leading into the main market area with a popular Asian food court. Once in the market, take a walk around and experience the hustle and bustle of local chefs and shoppers purchasing their produce for their restaurants and families. Our recommendation is to make sure you take your time discovering what’s on offer.
The market has a large assortment of quality goods, and you don’t have to go to far for that hard to get recipe ingredient. On our discoveries we found whole fresh truffles at a mushroom vendors.
Whilst there you will notice trendy business people sitting at the many eateries around having a quick bite to eat or conversing over freshly made coffee.
The Adelaide Central Market’s range of stalls doesn’t just revolve around food. Shoppers have the opportunity to purchase wine, flowers or books as well.
The market has a little bit for everyone. Street art murals, cooking classes from some of South Australia’s best chefs and chocolates, and sweets for the children.
