Brisbane's best markets

Exploring the many fresh food and produce markets Brisbane has to offer has become somewhat of a weekend ritual for most Brisbanites.


If you're heading out to a market my best tips are

• Take a hat and a trolley bag.

• Slip a cooler bag in to the trolley and you'll be able to buy fresh seafood if you find it.

• Take the dog with you but remember not all markets are dog friendly.

• The best bargains are always at the end of the market trading day when the stall holders are packing up.
