When it comes to the Queen's Market, how can we not talk about the night market here? The night market in the Queen's Market is open on a seasonal basis, and each special theme lasts about 1 month or so.

The upcoming spring night market will be held between Sept. 19 and Oct. 24 this year (2018), with the theme of a collection of Asian cuisine, and don't miss it if you're in Melbourne during that time! "he said."
Recent Night Market theme
The 88-night market will bring Oriental scents to Melbourne's most popular market every Wednesday night from September 19 to October 24. As soon as you walk into the shed, you can immediately feel the atmosphere of the streets of Asia. Taste authentic street food from Vietnam to Singapore, Indonesia to Thailand, to China and Japan.

Introduction and experience sharing
On the basis of my experience in participating every year, let me share a few lessons with you.
About traffic
If you stay in the city, remember to take the free tram in the city. Because there are so many locals who go to play in the night market, the parking lot is difficult to get and often spend a lot of time looking for parking spaces, so don't drive yourself without driving yourself.
About shopping
The night market is not just about food. Here you can also buy a lot of local youth creative small objects, small ornaments, hand-made pendants and so on. It's all cash transactions, so please remember it's a bargain.
About queuing
Like the domestic and TW night markets, judging how the food tastes at this stall depends on whether there are many people in line.
Popular stalls, such as barbecue stalls, tend to be the longest in line. In order to eat a fresh plate of Roasted Suckling Pig, this 1-hour line in the mouth is really worth it to try to line up for 1 hour in order to eat a plate of fresh Roasted Suckling Pig! If you are a multi-person excursion, the best way is to split up and act in line, buy all of them and then gather together in the seat area, divide and enjoy the gourmet food bought ~ this saves time and stomach and saves money, and you can eat more gourmet food.
About the performance.
In the external market there will be a variety of local band performances, although the performers of different levels, some people can listen to the intoxicating, but also more amateur. There is no charge for this, so enjoy high ~
You can't miss the specialty store
So what are some of the most distinctive shops here? Space relationship, I will "muddle" in the Queen's market for many years of practical experience to everyone according to each category to list a few shops I think you must not miss oh!
Seafood recommendation George the Fishmonge
Don't underestimate the fish stand, it's the freshest day of catch in many of Melbourne's upscale restaurants. So maybe you can buy a gourmet experience with hundreds of Australian dollars in a fine restaurant for a few dozen yuan, oh, the crack recommends that you try the oysters here. It is said that many friends in Hong Kong spend a ticket money "flying" to play a weekend to eat oysters to eat enough! So how can you miss this delicious taste when you're here?! Spend 12 Australian dollars to buy a dozen 12, eat a good enough to eat it! If you are staying in an apartment hotel where you can cook yourself, you can also try your own seafood! The prices of Australian lobster, wrench shrimp and Antarctic crab feet are actually acceptable!

Good prices and cheap things, of course, will be snatched up soon oh, so it is recommended to go an hour before closing the door!
Honey Land of Soy and Honey

Bread Andrew's Bread Shop

Pickled meat platter Dianne's Delights
This shop is also my personal favorite, do not be deceived by her dark shop appearance, take a closer look at the window you can immediately be attracted! Her family is focused on the development of delicious dip sauce and pickled meat platter (Antipasto). Buying a loaf of bread from Andrew's bakery, tearing it into pieces and eating it with her home dip, will definitely make your taste buds dance.

If you buy the made in china, you will be embarrassed when you send someone.
This small shop mainly sells Australian local-made accompaniment kangaroo dolls, etc., but before buying it, remember to take a look at the trademark and indicate where it was produced.

The five things that must be done in the Queen's Market
If you're in the Queen's Market for the first time, then you have to do the following things to make sure you don't regret it.
Have a cup of coffee.
Known as the Coffee City of Melbourne, the Queen's Market, a gourmet place, has become a first-class war zone for all kinds of coffee shops. Have a cup of coffee here!
[recommendation Cafe]
Market Lane: moved from the alleyway to the interior of the Queen's Market, a brand new store, a more minimalist style, but still stuck to the original business model-no fixed coffee beans. It's based on the coffee beans that change chooses every season. Market Lane is always the one I drink every time I come to the Queen's Market.
Founded in Branswick, Melbourne, in 2008, Padre Coffee: is an industry elite in coffee art. Unlike Market Lane, it bakes its own beans by sticking to its own brand and constantly baking and optimizing. If you're a coffee lover, try the difference.
Try a plate of snacks
The Queen's Market has lots of snacks from all over the world, American doughnuts and Spanish doughnuts against each other, and Singapore fried ice cream VS Danish pie. There are also Australian fried fish potatoes and Eastern European immigrants roast sausage pasta delicious PK, and so on. All kinds of different flavors of food together tease your taste buds, my stomach is not big enough how to do! You shout from your heart. Then order one share with your friends and share it with your friends.
Take a tour of the bazaa
If you have enough to eat and drink, then go shopping and buy it! The Queen's Market is on the outside, and two large venues belong to these dazzling small goods and handicrafts. If time permits, it can take about an hour to get them through. Because it is a traditional shop, it is possible to bargain oh, and there are also many shops to cater to the free travel of Chinese tourists and Chinese staff, so enjoy the price cut. Maybe you can find your favorite gadget here.
Take a gourmet trip
Although you read my playbook, but actually the first time to come to the Queen's Market or not feel a little strange? How can you get to know the market in the quickest time and have the opportunity to taste some of the cupboards from some of the shops mentioned earlier? Examples include Covenby oysters, roast kangaroo with black pepper, pickled octopus, native goat cheese, fresh Mediterranean grape leaf rolls and Victorian olives. As a foodie, don't you just listen to these names and start to feel the palpitations of taste buds. The Queen's Marketplace launched the gourmet tour, which is dedicated to foodies who come to look for gourmet food.

Because of the flow of people in the Queen's Market, it's also a popular place for licensed street artists and singers to perform. From the Peruvian Piper Orchestra to the local singers now performing, add the perfect background to your trip to the Queen's Market. People who love life and music can stop here and watch their performances, or you can throw some coins in the musical box in front of them to show respect and encouragement for traditional and original artists!
Peripheral recommended accommodation
The Queen's Market is close to the north of the city, and there are plenty of accommodation options around it. If you spend more time traveling in Melbourne, I highly recommend that you consider staying in an apartment hotel with a kitchen. The so-called apartment-style hotel means it has cooking utensils and kitchen facilities. As I mentioned earlier, you can buy some seafood or fresh steak at the Queen's Market (recommend your native Angus Black Bull) and go back to the hotel room and cook it for a little while. There are so many accommodations to choose from. What is a good place to stay? Below this very high cost-effective urban rhythm apartment recommended to you!
