It used to be really good. I mean REALLY good. Now it's nowehere close. Limited choice, not-so-good prices. I'm giving it a 3 simply because I used to buy A LOT of stuff from this place. RIP

It’s a fun place to wander through, but every other stall sells the same thing. Good for buying Aussie souvenirs. I enjoyed the visit.

Great fun to wander through the isles though it's often the same thing over and over. The fresh food is amazing and worth going for just on its own. Easy walk from central or parking nearby. Lots of good eats as well, be sure to look around before you choose.
