I went to the Queen Vic again recently hoping to find a small purse. After looking at what felt like hundreds of different stalls and seeing many of the same things a number of times I ended up buying a bag from one stall but never did find that small purse. I did buy some baclava from one shop which was delicious.

I also noticed an extremely long line of people at one point in the outside area and at first thought it was for the toilets. Then I realised it was for the ATM! I guess there were a lot of people who realised that many stall holders don't take anything other than cash, it really was the longest line I'd ever seen for an ATM though.

The deli section of the market is definitely my favourite. Purchased some very nice falalfels from one store and hope to return next time I'm in Melbourne for more

I went here recently and they sell a lot of great things that you can't buy anywhere else. Also some of the things there are great prices, but other things are rather expensive. It is very different shopping here than anywhere else.

Another institution after collecting the bread round the corner. They know this trade backwards, offer quick service, a good chook cooked well on the coals infront of you for $15 and some fresh sides if you wish. I hold up on the salt but this is tasty and now some free range birds to boot. GOOD HONEST EATING OUT stuff and a long history to prove they have what it takes to keep winning back people

Besides the fresh food and produce, which are generally of a very high quality and at good prices, the market stalls of the QV markets seem to be all selling the same things for the same prices. Its like there are 5 or 6 stalls, each selling different things, repeated over and over again till all the market floor space is filled. Repetitive and boring. On weekends its incredibly cramped - God help you if you go there with a pram or stroller, as you'll forever be in everyone elses way. Its not a very fun experience at all. Only shop there for the produce - which is again excellent quality and cheap.

I am not a huge fan of the general market, often it is similar stores, but this market is a great place to pick up fresh produce. Great prices and as fresh as it gets. I find weekdays are usually cheaper than the weekend as they know the tourists come in on the weekend and bump the prices up.

I love to go to Queen Victoria Market .. I brought my parents to this market and they love it .. I could find anything that i need in that market .. get the bargain items.. although, the price of the items is not cheap for a market .. its nearly same price as stores.

However , its still good to go to Victoria Market, because Everytime i visited Victoria Market i always buy the American doughnut and the Dutch pancakes... Should Try!

I use to love going to melbourne just so i could go to melbourne market but not these days. I find the market has the same items nearly in each aisle just different prices. you use to be able to get some really good bargains there but nowadays the stalls are either the same price as what you can get the item in a store or dearer. The market is always over crowded and people are always pushing and rude.

The Queen Victoria Markets are great. I love the deli in particular - all the cheese, salami, and olives you could want

I have fond memories of shopping at the Queen Vic Market as a child. Now as an adult I go there again to buy fresh produce, seafoods etc

I mainly stick to the food area and skip the clothing and other stalls.

My one treat is definitely having a hot jam doughnut from the vans!

There are so many market stalls and shops in the Queen Victoria Market, selling gifts, fresh produce, international groceries, clothing, accessories, toys and pet products.

It gets so busy at weekends and during the school holidays, so I prefer to go during the week when the crowds are a little more manageable.
