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.
Did an awesome Street Food Tour today with Tim. He is very knowledgeable about food and the market. All the tastings were delicious. We are so lucky to have such a diverse community sharing their culture through food in one area. Highly recommend.
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.
Go here regularly now and get my fruit and veg. It costs to park bit of a bummer but it's only 2 dollars for a couple of hours . A few good market stalls in there . Great food avalible many choices .
Lovely Sunday walk at Dandenong Market with great coffee and delicious donuts! The atmosphere was wonderful, making it the perfect weekend stroll.

Amazing quality and fresh food.
Lots of variety and bargain prices
The market is the best place to go if you want to buy fish, poultry or any other kind of meat. There are many places where to buy veggies and fruits. The market is clean and organised. Do not forget to try the food as well as the Lebanese bakery.

No.1 place to Shop! Beats Boujee!!!
It's still a great market, but for the life of me, I can't find a single stall that sells basil! They sell every other type of fruit and vegetable but not the one herb that is used frequently by most Australian households. What's going on there? Be aware of what things cost per kg. If a stall has a few sections that have for example, red capsicums, make sure you tell the staff where you got the item from otherwise you can easily get overcharged. Also, some customers were never taught manners and patience. They don't wait for you to move away after paying, they must push or climb over you just so they can be served. What's the rush? If they waited 30 seconds I'd be gone and they can continue on with buying their groceries. It must be a cultural thing? A variety of stalls - fruit and veg, meat, bread, flowers and plants etc. I nearly fell over at the price of 3 chicken breasts was just over $20! Insane! I politely refused and said thanks anyway and I didn't buy them. Glad I went to Aldi and bought 6 for $18.18 @ $8.49 per kilo. Tip: know your prices, check the quality and go on a Tuesday when it's busy but not crazy busy like it is over the weekend.
