Often go here on weekdays for meat and other shopping. Can get crowded on weekends,so i try to avoid it then.
Sell pretty much anything you can think of. I love their butchers and international foods too.
Lots of aisles selling clothing, bags,toys,hand made goods and specialty stores.
Just watch the quality on some of the imported stuff from China,Have wasted money on few things there.

Great markets for foodies and the quality is fresher, cheaper and better than the supermarket fruit and vege produce. If you shop around, you will notice there are suppliers that sell cheaper and lower quality produce consistently and vice versa.

I always talk to the sellers to get tips on how best to cook a seasonal item.

All the meats, fish and poultry are the same. Sometimes the prices are similar to that of the supermarkets but I am pretty sure it is fresher, no preservatives and very high turnover of stock.

Eggs aplently and so many cheeses, tofus, beers, wines, dried fruits and nuts, legumes, artisan breads, pastries and deli's to choose from.

Bring your own carry bag or baskets. And come for lunch and snack on $2.50 boreks, bratwurst rolls, pies, chicken ribs, salads including pizzas on various but cool bases like beetroot, polenta etc.

There are also some nick-nacks and cheap souvenirs.

Remember to come in Summer for the Suzuki Night Markets with an endless choice of international cuisine with free entertainment and artisan stalls.

Lots of shopping, eating and talking as I walked around. The Vic Market always something to offer. Always changing with new things too.

The best thing is the donuts. Mmmmm!! Love them.

I have been to the Queen Victoria Market on different occasions and always found something new and exciting to look at.

There is always a lot of variety there.

Lots of yummy food to eat, lots of Aussie gifts if you have overseas visitors or you are going overseas to give to people. There are clothing (like the Collingwood Footy top my son bought), soap, coffee & tea (I received some nice tea from my son - Lucky me), there is the seafood market and certainly much much more.

I love the Vic Markets. The produce there is the best in the country and there are alot of meats, cheese and delicacies there to choose from. I always buy some of the donuts at the donut van, my Dad used to buy them for us on a Sunday over 40 years ago and did it for years, and I am still a patron there. Bought some great clothes & shoes there too over the years.

Great market, great for clothes and food!
The attached meat market is fantastic! Just make sure you have a deep chest freezer - you'll need it!

I'm lucky enough to live right near the QV Market. It's a Melbourne landmark and has a huge amount of choice across the areas of its deli, fruit and veg and general merchandise areas. The deli is a bit on the pricey side, but full of delicious treats. Try the boraks in the deli - cheap and delicious (that's if you can get near the counter to buy one!)

Approximate cost: $2+

I'm kicking myself over for not visiting this place any earlier.

I visit Melbourne at least couple of times a year. Each time my friends would ask me 'lets go to the qvm', I was never keen on it. But during my last visit in March I discovered all the years of great food I missed out on.

I don't always like market food. BUT you get plenty of awesome food here ! I was very impressed. drinks were a little on the costly side, but no more than what you pay at restaurants.

A fantastic Market. The produce is amazing and you can get everything you need here. Fantastic Deli's - I always go here to save money (which I do on meat and fruit and veg) but then I spend it in the awesome deli's!

I only found out about queen victoria market when my ipod screen cracked so i had to go to mkc repairs right next door. then i saw it, cheap deals very good positioning.
