Paddy's Market Reviews
Rated out of 5
Love the food court here. Most of the options have halal food with a halal certificate nicely framed in front of the stalls. But what's even more impressive is how fresh and delicious all the options are.
In London we love food courts/markets so I was excited to see the same concept here, half way across the world!!
The vendors are also so friendly and helpful.

Great place to buy souvenirs at reasonable cheap price. I'd recommend going "460 Sydney Souvenir" to buy some, as they are quite cheaper than the others. But this place seems to be bit overcrowded, so be aware of it.

Paddy’s Markets in Haymarket Sydney, has been a wonderful Sydney Institution for what seems like Forever !!
I remember coming here as a young child and being awestruck by the Sights, Sounds and Smells !!
It’s now been Gentrified Somewhat and Much less Gritty than it once was.
There is just So much to see and do here.
Paddy’s Still offers Fresh Fruit, Veg, Meats, Seafood, Flowers, Nuts, Sweets etc.
Also has Artisan Baked Goods, Small Goods and various dining options.
There are hundreds of Stalls. Selling everything from Fashion to Electronics and everything in between.
Paddy’s has a Fabulous Vibe and I look forward to my next visit.

Paddy’s Markets in Haymarket is out of this world — it feels like a whole other world underground. The moment you walk in, the energy hits you. Row after row of vendors, fresh produce, souvenirs, clothes, snacks, cultural items — literally everything you can imagine in one place.
It’s lively, affordable, and full of personality. You can spend hours wandering, trying new foods, and finding unique little gems you won’t see anywhere else. If you want a real local experience in Sydney, this spot is a must.

Visited the paddy's market during lunch time and had the acai bowl at the Juice me shop.
Had the large option and it was super filling!
Also had the falafel bowl and it was delicious. The bowl size was super big. It is easily enough for 1 person to fill his stomach.
