Central Market is the largest market in the southern hemisphere, with over 250 food stalls to satisfy any food craving. All the food you can think of is here. I hope you go to the market with an empty stomach, so you can go back to your heart’s content! The Central Market is located in the urban area of Adelaide. In such an expensive location, a 140-year-old market is allowed. Adelaide's attitude towards ingredients is evident.
