Cathedral Square Markets 2023

Overview

What's better than one weekly food market in the heart of Brisbane? Two, of course — and, to spread the love, this one is over the other side of the inner city. For a few years now, in great news for anyone who works at the Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley end of the CBD, Cathedral Square Markets has been popping up on Thursdays to give Brisbanites another chance to grab a tasty lunch, some top fresh produce and all kinds of other bites to take home.

A weekly Thursday affair, the markets run from 8am–2pm. Because it's organised by the same folks behind the Wednesday markets at Reddacliff Place, you know what you're in for — just on a different day.

As well as farm-fresh fruit and vegetables, artisanal breads and baked goods, and local seafood and meats, you'll find a range of stalls selling meals you can eat while you're there. That's handy —because we all know that it's best not to shop for food on an empty stomach.

2023's vendors include Carlos Tacos, Bapboi slinging Korean barbecue eats, Lamb Marinade with its slow-cooked meats and waffles via Whisk and Flip.

And if you're usually in another part of town but you want to drop by before work or during your break, that's obviously on the agenda as well.
