Wet markets scattered throughout Melbourne, Australia

For those who love eating and cooking, the vegetable market is like a playground. You stand there confused and excited, everything is familiar, but everything is new. Every household has its goods lined up or piled into a hill. When strolling around, we even secretly speculated: Look at the neatly arranged and colorful boss of this house, he may have obsessive-compulsive disorder; the owner of that house with his casual and bold appearance may be a carefree owner. These colorful scenes of life make people sigh: There is nothing more beautiful than a vegetable market in this world. The markets scattered throughout Melbourne are like the hospitable aunties next door, offering daily fresh food, telling stories about home-cooked food, and sharing the most local and friendly delicacies. Below 86 I have compiled an introduction to the vegetable markets, which are located in the southeast, northwest and northwest regions of Melbourne. With it in hand, you will not have to worry about buying vegetables.

undefined The Queen Victoria Market

As the most famous market in Melbourne, there are more than 1,000 shops settled here. Many shops work directly with farms to ensure the freshness and quality of ingredients. This also attracts many chefs to purchase it in person. Carnivores are also at home here: Hagens Meat specializes in organic meat; Seafood & Oyster Spot's Coffin Bay oysters are only one-third of the restaurant price; you can also buy fresh crayfish and scallops. The most distinctive Art Deco-era Dairy Hall is simply a deli heaven: the aroma of sausages spreads out unstoppably, various cheeses are piled up like a white castle, pickled olives and vegetables are shining brightly at you, and you can also buy them. Get a kangaroo as a souvenir.

South Melbourne Market

Every time I come here, I want to eat a dozen of them first. For oysters, here is the oldest oyster shop, Aptus Seafood, as well as all kinds of crystal clear and shiny fish that stare at you angrily; the piles of clams and shellfish are like marine soldiers landing in groups. In addition, organic products, specialty coffees, groceries, and even fortune-telling shops can be found here. Remember to go to Breads Etcetera to buy bread made with South Australian organic flour; try Polish Delicatessen’s homemade European sausages. If it's in season, Evening Star will have freshly grilled crayfish. As a "green market", South Melbourne Market is also committed to environmental protection, energy conservation, and recycling rainwater for cleaning.

Preston Market

Cheap and noisy, rough and complete, it is a painting A scene from Preston Market. The sounds of hawking came and went, and the fruits and vegetables, as bright as oil paintings, were placed carelessly on the stalls.

Take a break with a bowl of pho, a donut or a burrito, and enjoy a street performance.
