Salamanca Market

I love the beef noodle in the Vietnam food stand. It looks small but many beef and vegetables in it. The noodles were soft. I also like warm berries in the pancakes food shop. The berries were fresh and the ice cream was incredible.

The stall holders are friendly and the produce fresh, local and unique. Two novelists were on hand to sign their new books, which was the pick of the day along with fresh Tasmanian coffee beans, locally grown fruit, beautifully carved timber and a great lunch of Oysters and beer and wine.

The old buildings have been a new life. Lots of shops, restaurants and bars. Very chic. Close to some wonderful seafood takeaways on the shores

I go to the market for the energy it brings not necessarily the novel things. The food seems to be miss n' hit. Also something funny I found is mediocre products with excellent salespeople. I always love to chat with the stall owners. Worth going again to say hi to the store owners.

It's almost a case of if you've seen one market you've seen them all. There was nothing overly unique about these markets other than its location and fame. Some good local fresh produce, handmade scent products i.e soaps, candles, skincare etc...little bit of art, hats etc a few food trucks. If you did buy some food there is nowhere to sit down and eat it. I didn't really feel the urge to spend my money there though.
