Bringing together over 150 different nationalities under one roof
Dandenong Market has been operating since 1866 and is one of Melbourne’s oldest markets.
A traditional working market and the heart of community life. There’s so much to see, taste and discover.
The market is a unique meeting place, a place of economic contribution and of community celebration, bringing together more than 150 nationalities. The rich cultural tapestry means you can enjoy the most authentic street food in Melbourne.
It was crowded and lively, but because it was so crowded, there was a shortage of parking spaces.
Really good price for fruits and veggies Sometimes a bit crowded so mind the time of the day you are coming
Did the Cook’s tour this morning it was really great. Thoroughly recommend. Delicious food tastings, stories, the family shops, wide range of ingredients , everyone so helpful knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely a 5 star experience.
Great Deals
This is a great market with a massive variety of foods. Will definitely become a regular.
Fresh produce, fish and meat. Easy access friendly retailers and wonderful selection of food.
What a joy it is to immerse yourself in multicultural Dandenong with all the exotic produce on offer at very reasonable prices at the market.
Lot of fruits and veggies options
Market with a bit of everything, it has been a lot better since the last time. Cleaner and neater, but definitely not cheaper than the normal shops for seafood, meats and veggies. The junk market is interesting but you can get all those things on Temu/ alibaba. Surprisingly, the burger joint (Grill'd) with the black wall in front of the nuts and coffee spot is really good, our burgers were fresh, nicely done and yummy! If you don't like burgers or you can only eat one thing-- make sure you have the double-jammed donuts!
Great value for money, great food court for lunch, good day out and great way to save money in the process
Busy market with a lot of items to buy
We had a fantastic tour of the market with Tim Holland all the store holders were so friendly and Tim knew so many of them he was also always careful and considerate with all the nationalities being aware of their differences and traditions all I know we had a great day out and really enjoyed Tims commentary
So much fun and so much to see!
I was there before, but this time I found the market cleaner and better. Nice touch with a singer on stage. Definitely I will be back more frequently.
Love Dandenong market. Great produce, people & variety. I’ve just completed the Street Food Tours. Tim our guide was fabulous making the tour interesting & fun. The tastings were amazing & plentiful giving the group a great insight into the delectable world of cultural delicacies
