Taste the Heart of the City
If you believe the best way to know a city is through its food, Brisbane’s markets will capture your heart (and your taste buds). From gourmet street food to locally-grown produce and handcrafted treats, the city’s thriving market scene is where fresh flavours and community spirit come alive.
Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or just curious to explore local cuisine, Brisbane’s best markets deliver a feast of experiences.
“Brisbane’s markets are more than places to shop—they’re where food, culture, and community meet.”

Held every Wednesday in the heart of the CBD, Jan Powers Farmers Markets are a midweek ritual for many locals. With fresh produce, baked goods, coffee carts, and gourmet snacks, this market is a quick escape from the office grind and a great place to sample Queensland’s seasonal flavours.
Expect everything from artisan sourdough to organic veggies, free-range meats, and creamy locally made cheese.

Nestled under sprawling fig trees along the Brisbane River, Davies Park Market is a sensory delight. Held every Saturday, it’s a go-to for both locals and visitors seeking a laid-back morning of food, coffee, live music, and local culture.
Grab a fresh juice or mushroom burger, explore the international food stalls, and browse handmade goods—all while soaking up the eclectic West End vibes.
