Queen Victoria Market
Melbourne, Victoria, 3000, Australia
Open since 1878, "Queen Vic" is an over-1,000-stall melting pot of Southeast Asian greens, Italian cheeses, kangaroo salami, and Tasmanian scallops. A two-hour market tour (qvm.com.au) includes chats with vendors and generous food samplings.
Best Bites Perk up with an aromatic espresso at Coffea (521 Elizabeth St.). Then try the bratwurst sandwich (spicy or mild) offered with five kinds of mustard at the beloved Bratwurst Shop (Shop 99/100, Dairy Produce Hall). Don't miss the flaky multilayered börek filled with everything from spiced lamb to leeks at the Mezze Table (Shop 95/96, Dairy Produce Hall). Fresh-squeezed passion-fruit juice from Market Juice (Shop 25, The Shed) is a perfect palate cleanser.
