Markets Where You Can Do Your Whole Weekly Food Shop in One Go
Nine markets where a full trolley's worth of the week's shopping is just as much the point as the wander.
The best weekly-shop market isn't the one with the prettiest flower stall — it's the one where you can also grab veggies, bread, cheese, meat and fish before you've made it back to the car. These nine all clear that bar: deli counters, butchers and fishmongers sitting alongside the produce stalls, in numbers big enough that a proper shop is the whole reason to show up.
Between a produce hall that's been trading since 1864 and a Sydney market curated by a chef who makes stallholders grow, raise or make everything they sell, this line-up runs more serious than casual. Presented by Honda ZR-V, here are nine markets built for restocking the whole week, not just a Saturday coffee run.
