Dandenong Market is an amazing fresh food and street food market in Dandenong. In my opinion Dandenong market is not only a market but it represents what makes Australia so unique. The market simply extrudes symbiotic multiculturalism with the idea of acceptance of all ethnicities working together in a cohesive and friendly environment. The market really uplifts the status and all the negative connotations associated with the Dandenong suburb. The market feels very safe and clean and is always buzzing with vibrant activity! Parking is never difficult to find even on busy event days which are hosted every 2 months celebrating the ethnic diversity that is Australia! To top it off Dandenong market is a flavour paradise and a foodie's dream! You can find pretty much any type of street food you can imagine here!!

Love the place after recently going back after a long absence. It has everything the Victoria Market has but is much closer for us. Went to the Bazaar section to buy a bunch of Australian souvenirs for overseas friends - caps, zip up shopping bags, stubby coolers and coffee mugs. Then there is the fresh produce area, the meat, fish and deli areas and exotic mini marts - great place to shop.

This was the first time back here since I was a boy, and it had only gotten better. Lots of low-priced fruit and vegetables, many different types of foods from around the world, and a well organised bazaar. Can be a very busy place so watch where you're going.

A great place to buy all your veggies, meat and fish under one roof. Plus they have good eateries section. The fruits and veggies prices are fair. Had a Masala chai at an Indian eatery outlet and absolutely loved the Masala Chai. The ambience was great and had a great time sitting and sipping my chai.
