Rusty's Market, Cairns

Love this tropical market.. very similar to Sydney Paddys markets but on a smaller scale. Fruit and Vegetables are very fresh and love the tropical fruits that's available.Well worth the trip if you're in Cairns on a Friday Saturday or Sunday.

When in Cairns, you need to visit here on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. You'll find fresh vegetables and fruits, herbs and some. You can start with the Vietnamese coffee in front by Grafton St. And pair it with the Danish pastry/ies of your liking that you'll see in another store inside. There is cooked food you can also buy and seats if you feel like eating after browsing. Try the Paw Paw salad, thai spicy will hit the spot and down it with fresh coconut juice or fresh sugarcane drink, whichever you prefer. Come visit, you won't regret it.👍👍👍👍👍

A local, tropical and permanent market. There's a wide range of items from meals, produce, baked goods, tourist gifts, belums, coffee and pastries. It's under cover and really large. There's street parking but also a car park with 2 hours free parking. We love the Thai salads, they are so tasty and are able to get amazing produce every week.

One of the must-visit markets if you visit Cairns! There’s a huge variety of fruits/vegetables/food and other items priced reasonably. There is parking in-front of the markets and on the surrounding streets although you have to pay a small fee (around $2 an hour if I remember correctly). Would be good to carry some cash as not every stall has card machines 😌

Rusty's Markets in Cairns Visited on 17/7/2022 I am very disappointed when I visit the markets today. I shop for value-for-money, and so cheap price is not my only buying criterion. For the last few days, I shopped at supermarkets for the specials and I am extremely happy to pay a little bit extra. When I say a little bit, I do mean it, because I am a Scrooge when shopping for food is concern. There are several fruit stall holders at the pavement, screaming out to draw passer-bys' attention. When I enter the market, I find it rather disorganised and untidy. Comparing with markets I have visited in different Australian and overseas cities, I feel that Rusty's Markets need a lot of improvement.
