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.
I had a lovely time visiting this market! 🌿🌸 There’s a great variety of plants available at reasonable prices. It’s a lovely place to browse, shop, and find some beautiful plants for your home or garden. Definitely worth a visit!
Good for shopping, I can find almost everything there, but it's a little crowded at all time
Your place to get cheap fruit and veg. Be prepared, it gets crowded
Good atmosphere, friendly people
Fruits and veg quality are not so fresh these times although much cheaper
Great varieties and always value for money buying. Can get very crowded at times.
Dandy Market, so handy. Reasonable priced, for market goods and fresh produce.
Great variety of local and imported produce. A melting pot of different cultures and foods.
Must go to Falefel King. freshly made falefels. and very nice people. Always greet you with a smile
Hard to park but great overall.
Loved it.
Lunch at Sister Fried Chicken at Dandenong Market. Love the authentic Malaysian dishes of nasi lemak and teh tarik!
Lovely market with so many things to explore and buy. Produce are fresh and reasonable price. Good parking and plenty of foods and coffees. We love the hot roasted nut stall, dried figs on vines, pastries, Asian foods and so on. It is also a great place to get fresh flowers and fresh fruits.
So many options. Meat is cheaper, veggies are better, fruits are more colourful. Basically all better quality init. 😉
Always busy, but enjoy the food quality
Had a perfect time at the Dandenong Market on the weekend. The police made me feel so safe😜. Thanks so much!
Nice
Very enjoyable Lived in the area for 35 years and this was my first visit to Dandy market Our guide Tim very knowledgeable about all cultures and foods👍
Amazing market with more choices of food and drinks plus other vendors than you could possibly visit all in one go. The gem and highlight of my visit to Melbourne
👍 not bad
Groceries are cheaper
The sushi was delicious, and the Korean desserts were great too.
If not the best it is definitely one of the best markets that has everything! The only thing is that it gets overcrowded. Why not allow it to be open an extra day during the week? That could help with the overcrowding!
Great fun, great, i formative guide, generous tastinh bites. Total value for money.
Love the kiwi flavors so much to see and eat alot of things to look at
Amazing!! Will definitely be back again!!
Little market place. Not much to see except food. They do have a selection of meats, fruit and veg. From fresh to dried/cured. The parking seems odd, apparently meant to get a ticket if parked at between 10-6. Ticket system seems like it was updated at some time.... I just made sure to leave at 10. Not alot to offer for tourists though.
Beautiful
KFC was so good the lovely hijabi saima needs a raise best customer service ever!!!
A huge fruit and veggie section as well as meat section and bazaar. Note that the Bazaar section is not operational as of Sept 2026 for a period of time. Note that the 2 hour car park right outside the market needs a ticket on certain days. It used to be 3 hours.
Lots of parking very walkable and a perfect layout
Busy day on Saturdays, I prefer shopping on Fridays. Today ....Friday was a busy day at the market, I think prices are lower than supermarkets, the reason for a crowded market 🤔 Market is always busy & some vegetables prices are lower in price than supermarkets. Fish & seafood is quite expensive & looks fresh. Another week shopping at Dandenong market, and is goodas always, good produce, today I bought fresh Oysters from S.A. plus Australian prawns. The greengrocer's ad lots of fresh vegetables 👌 Every Friday I visited the narket for all my food shopping, fish, beef meat, nuts & seeds us veggies. 😋 Another Friday shopping at the Dandenong market, bought fresh prawns, beef steaks & vegetables, all for the whole week. &Fresh peaches 🍑 😍 Tuesdays Dandenong market is open & I did my usual shopping of meat, fish & vegetables good as most days.🍌🥭🥒🥬🥩🍅 Shopping again at Dandenong market, got Lamb chops, a few vegetables. Very busy Sunday at the market.
🛍️❤️ Who doesn’t love the markets?! You could spend hours wandering around here, there’s everything from clothing, bakery, fish, meat and household bits and pieces to fresh produce. The prices are so much cheaper than Coles and Woolies, and there’s such a great variety. And the kebabs… absolutely smashing! 🤤🌯 But whatever you do, save a little room for the jam doughnuts! 🍩❤️ They are definitely worth it! A great place to wander around, grab some bargains, enjoy some delicious food and soak up the atmosphere
Lovely market with so much local fresh produce in great price plus also has a great section like a good court serving culturally diverse cuisines topped off with another section to buy clothing and other goods!!
Excellent market for all foodstuffs, with bonus variety stalls attached. Ready to eat stalls are many and varied, well worth a lunchtime visit. Plenty of paid parking, and free street parking if you look hard enough. We're becoming regulars. Much here next impossible to find in a supermarket.
Dandenong market good 👍
Great seafood
Great place to buy all your meat, seafood, veggies, breads, nuts, herbs and spices, flowers and plants. You can also enjoy delicious coffee from Perfect Coffee.
Graet
Always a treats for all senses....
Best place ever
Dandononk Market offers outstanding and affordable prices compared to many other places and supermarkets. It is one of my favorite places to visit regularly, where I always find great deals and good quality across a wide range of products and goods, especially fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood. In addition to the diverse products and comfortable shopping atmosphere, the market also features rest areas, restaurants, and bakeries, which make the shopping experience even more enjoyable and relaxing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great value and convenience.
