Adelaide Central Market

One of the largest undercover fresh produce markets in the southern hemisphere, and the reason a lot of Adelaide locals never bother with supermarkets. More than 70 stalls and eateries fill two full city blocks between Grote and Gouger Streets, from South Australian seafood and cheese to dumplings, curry laksa and Afghan bread, most of it eaten standing up.

It gets loud and crowded on Friday nights and Saturday mornings, which is exactly when to go if you want the atmosphere, or exactly when to avoid if you want to actually get through it. Either way, it is an easy walk from the hotel and worth building a morning around.

What To Experience

Bakeries & Cheese

Small producers selling South Australian cheese, bread and pastry by the piece.

Guided Tastings

Small-group food tours run most mornings if you want a local to lead the way.

Getting There

8 minutes on foot, straight down King William Street then right onto Gouger Street.

Food Court with No Bad Options

Dumplings, curry laksa, curry puffs and more cuisines than you could work through in a week, most of it eaten standing at a bench.
