Dating back over 150 years, Adelaide Central Market is a vibrant, thriving hub of the city’s food culture and one of the largest undercover fresh produce markets in the Southern Hemisphere.
ADELAIDE CENTRAL MARKET IN FOCUS
With over 70 stalls offering fresh, seasonal produce, local delicacies, and international food options, it provides a lively and authentic experience for both budding foodies and experienced gourmands.
The air is always abuzz with activity as more than 80 traders from over 40 nationalities come together Tuesday through Sunday each week to serve their delicious offerings under one roof.
Visitors can eat their way through this culinary haven, with deep dishes of steaming paella, fragrant laksas and curries, fresh cheeses and cold cuts, and plentiful plant-based and vegetarian options to suit any palate.
Discover restaurants serving organic local produce, wine bars where the finest regional grapes can be sampled, and food stalls proudly combining ingredients that have shaped South Australia’s gastronomic history.
There are also plenty of sweet treats on offer – from cakes and pastries to chocolates and biscuits – alongside local classics such as lamingtons, vanilla slices, and pavlovas, a nod to Australia’s much-loved bakery and café culture.
Today, the area is undergoing a period of significant redevelopment through the Market Square and Market Expansion Project which, at a combined value of AUD$400 million, will evolve the precinct into a world-class attraction and Australia’s first location for the globally recognised lifestyle brand, Treehouse Hotels, securing the future of the market district.
Enlargement of the iconic marketplace on the ground floor will offer visitors even more of what they know and love, with more than 50 new tenancies anticipated to be made available.
