On this beautiful Easter Saturday, my friend decided to drive me in her MX-5 and we headed off to the Sydney Morning Herald's Grower's Market. This market is located in Pyrmont Bay Park (opposite Star City). My friend has been here before and seemed to know where to go and park. We parked at the Casino ($17.00 for a 6hr entry).
The weather was perfect which brought the locals out. The regulars came with their dogs, big and small, their shopping baskets and their kids in their prams. This market has a different vibe to the Eveleigh Markets in that it is surrounded by water and the stall keepers are housed in white marquees which added to the overall feel of the place.
There are quite a good selection of organic foods, cheeses, pasta sauces. You name it, you will be able to find it here, fruits, flowers, organic meat, coffee etc etc.
On this Easter Saturday, Peter Kuruvita from the Flying Fish restaurant was also there to turn seasonal market produce to simple spice fragrant recipes as well as to promote his book, Serendip.
Next time I go though, I will get there for breakfast at this Bacon and Egg stall which had a loonnng queue, then to find a seat under a shaded tree and enjoy my breakfast with a copy of the Sydney Morning Herald - ahhh... such is life!
If there is still time left on the car park, it is very easy to catch the light rail to the Fish Market for some lunch, either at the Chinese Restaurant for Yum Cha or for some seafood.
