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.
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
