What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally praise the Rosebank Sunday Market for its vibrant atmosphere, diverse range of handmade crafts, and delicious international food options. It's a popular spot for finding unique souvenirs and enjoying live entertainment. Some shoppers note that a portion of the goods can be imported, requiring a keen eye for authentic local products.
"What a fantastic way to spend a Sunday. We love markets and never got a chance to visit here but I’m thoroughly glad we did. The market has something for everyone with a variety of antiques, clothing, thrifts, arts, tourist curios and some food and drink.
It must be stated that this is not a food market and has only a limited selection of food. We had the Thai spring rolls, Korean Taiyaki, Greek gyro and Korean chicken bao buns and for dessert the popular chocolate strawberries.
The only drawback was the limited seating availability in the food area which should be increased. Other than that, it’s a great place and will definitely be back."
Keith Reddy
"Big and busy market. It is situated at Rosebank Mall, easy access from Bath avenue. I actually thought it was all about food but then I realised that there is almost everything: food, cosmetics, ornaments, clothing and many other things and services."
