Riverside Market
An indoor food market by the Avon River, where dozens of prepared-food stalls, produce shops, and bars gather. It is the most popular lunch spot in the city center.
Riverside Market opened in 2019 between Cashel Street and the Avon River in the city center. Its two-story indoor space holds fresh produce, baked goods, cheese, coffee, and food stalls offering cuisines from Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, South America, and beyond, with dining bars and a bar upstairs. The nearby Little Market Lane has more small restaurants. Prices are moderate, making it a good place to eat while you browse. It is a few minutes' walk east to New Regent Street and the tram line.
Opening hours
Approx. 9:00 AM–6:00 PM (extended Thu–Sat; bars open until late)
