Food stalls with an array of different cuisines as well as fresh fruit, baked goods, and even a store dedicated solely to tabasco! Loved the vintage take on some of the stores.

Opened in 1934 and with much of its original flavor — the freshest produce, gourmet meats and cheeses, and hot donuts — plus a few extra touches (gluten-free pizza, gumbo, authentic Mexican food).

I come here a lot. Really nice farmers market. Food, trinkets and almost everything else. Right next to The Grove so you could spend a whole day. Well worth the visit.

This farmers market reminds me of the tapas markets in Madrid. Get there early to grab a seat and eat savory crepes while you watch the hustle and bustle as everything opens.

Not your traditional farmers market where you'll expect fruit and vegetable stands, there is some but the majority are restaurants that range from Cajun to Mediterranean to regular good ol' barbecue
Rachel YalowitzJanuary 30, 2016
I love everything about this place. There's so many different types of food to try here! I would highly recommend trying the Brazilian place! You can never go wrong getting food at this place!

I loved the place, vendors, and products that I bought. It was fresh, the best selection, and trustworthy to buy. Besides, the ambiance of the market was very clean, cute, and stylish.

Try one of everything! Yes, that’s a LOT... so you’ll have to come back multiple times. Everything I ate here was delicious. This is a “must do” for every LA visit for me.

We had lunch at marmelade cafe, might be the only restaurant with excellent quality/price ratio. service was fantastic and food surprisingly really good for such a touristic place!

A historic market with over 100 grocers, specialty shops, and restaurants. It is a favorite among the locals and tourists since 1934. There's something for everyone here!

The clock tower represents an iconic landmark of Los Angeles .. Historical destination for food and groceries .. A bit overrated !!

My kinda of place. Fresh food, fruits, restaurants, ice cream shops etc. You can spend easily a day here.

Been going here since I was a kid. It's a favorite. If you're from out of town or you've never been, you've got to go there. Lots of movies being filmed there too.

Visit at sunset, grab a table, get a beer, and grab some food. Life will be good.Pro-tip: park in the lot on the left as you're driving in. Just don't forget to get your parking validated.

For a quick bite, head here and try the mole poblano at Lotería Grill (Stall 322) or get a burger at Short Order (Stall 110).

A wonderful place filled with the cuisines of the world. This place is a foody mecca. More of a bazaar than a market. Be warned the grove parking is a completely different entity.
Michelle Arnaiz-Dela RosaDecember 1, 2015
We love coming here for the food and atmosphere. They also have a lot of fresh produce you can buy.

Something for everyone, and. Just about every kind of food. Also there is seating upstairs if it looks full. Free parking with validation for 2 hrs.

I prefer picking an exotic piece of fruit myself, however dangerous the circumstances, but the quality and selection of tastes here might be worth risking your life for as well, should it be crowded.
Roger MaJanuary 7, 2020
Super touristy but worth it (come during weekdays to avoid the crowds)
Omar SanchezApril 27, 2019

I go out of my way to buy groceries here... Freshest fruits, vegetables, and meats in all LA! Try Farm Boy for fruits/vegetables, Puritan Poultry for chicken, & Huntington Meats for meats and sausage

If you see an open spot in the Farmers Market parking lot, grab it! Make sure you get a 2-hour validation pass from any of the merchants inside (but not from stores in The Grove).
Cesar FrancoMarch 4, 2014
best buys if you are looking for rare gourmet itens or eat something special

An iconic stop in LA- stop by and see it for yourself.

Alex SoboJuly 13, 2010
Pampas grill for pao de queijo and churrasco, loteria for chicken nachos, French Crepe company for nutella crepes, Singapore Banana leaf for roti and peanut curry yum! Ahhh the list goes on!
Kelly WeaverJuly 4, 2018
Something for everyone. My preference was the Singapore Banana Leaf.

Be sure to have ready cash with you, a lot of them don't accept cards. Dining area gets packed during lunchtime....

A foodie's paradise and gawker's delight, it's right behind CBS where DWTS & American Idol tape. Home to the Pinkberry test shop, you'll get to try things that may not be rolled out!
