The Best Street Food Markets In Sydney

Whether its a family day out or first date material, a market can be the best way to spend the day. Presenting some of Sydney’s finest gourmet and artisanal fare; from hand-crafted cakes to charcuterie and chocolate, here are the top eight best street food markets in the city.

1. Addison Road: The Street Food Markets

Market

Every first and third Saturday of the month, hop a bus to Marrickville, West of Sydney’s Central Business District (CBD) to indulge in a far-off feast. Celebrating the vast culinary cultures of people who now call Australia home, the Addison Road Community Centre brings us The Street Food Markets, an authentic food market featuring fare from the likes of Sierra Leone, Ethiopia and Columbia.

This street food market supports local refugee food stallholders as they share their traditional culinary skills. This is one of many initiatives from The Addison Road Community Centre which commit to community development programs, environmental activities and lobby for social justice. The market runs 4 – 9 pm every second Saturday.
