Victoria Markets

Squeezed from soft warm, mayonnaise like brain of Everhardt
At the far end of Elizabeth St in the CBD, there lies one of this cities most fantastic rubies hidden in the dust, the Vic Markets, fantastic food, a friendly fast paced atmosphere and lots of sellers yelling prices and praise for their products into the air. My favourite place is the meat market, Im by no stretch of the imagination remotely related to vegetarianism, and the meat here is awesome. There is a fresh fruit and veges section for those inclined including an organic market and across the road in the upper market offers more fruits and vegetables on a Saturday, replaced by leather and goods on Sundays.
On the corner of Elizabeth and Therry St this is where the markets begin and this is where the good food smells punctuate your hunger, its bad, but so good, coffee roasted on site, dried meats and a variety of cheeses, small stalls selling grains and spices, nuts and oils and cheeses and malts and im going to pass out….
The reason behind this post is that although this is the greatest place on earth and this post is but a tribute, the prices are very reasonable, some would even argue “cheap” but the quality steps on anything Ive seen near the city, I love a steak, I love a big bad meaty chuck of meat, I love that chunk of meat when it is cheap and I can eat a lot of it.
If you are in Melbourne on a Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday I highly recomend checking it out, Id get there before lunchtime to get good deals, and during the summertime (during daylight saving) on Wednesday Nights there is also the Night Markets - really just a big party filled with beer and curries.
