Meet the Traders Bringing Big Flavour to the New Adelaide Central Market

The next chapter of the Adelaide Central Market is getting even bigger — and tastier.

As construction continues on the landmark $600 million Market Square redevelopment, the latest announcement adds five more names to what’s already one of the world’s best food markets.

Michelin Guide-listed Ginza Kagari is bringing its sought-after ramen to Adelaide, flying in the broth straight from Japan. Melbourne coffee institution Jasper Coffee is bringing more than 35 years of roasting know-how, while Napolitano Pastificio Italiano, Sofra Kebab House and CBD favourite Project Burrata will add fresh pasta, Iraqi-Turkish yiros and handmade burrata bowls to the mix.

These names join quite the list of traders announced earlier this year. French-style dessert specialist Crepe Bar will serve sweet and savoury crepes with homemade lemonade, while Frantic Whisk arrives with handmade biscuits and stroopwafels. Matcha K will bring Japanese matcha and handcrafted desserts, adding another caffeine-and-something-sweet option.

For the pantry, Freestone Farm will bring Riverland produce, wine and artisan goods, alongside Poderosa with its traditional South American groceries and Hummus Hustle, serving house-made hummus inspired by generations of Lebanese family recipes. Local Kitchen Co. will also make stocking the fridge a little easier with its ready-made meals.

There’s a strong South Australian contingent, too. Multi-award-winning Shapeshifter Brewing Co will pour locally made craft beer from its second-ever venue, while Caffee Fontana brings a specialty coffee concept from the family behind Central Market institution Grind Roast Masters. O’Sushi O’Bento is also making a comeback.

Madam Seafood, Adelaide Hills chocolatier Red Cacao and South Australian producer Rohde Egg Co will all take up space in the expanded Market, with Rohde Egg Co opening its first retail stall after more than 50 years supplying eggs across the state.

Beyond the fresh produce and market staples, McLaren Vale favourite Never Never Distilling Co. is bringing a bar, dining and retail concept to the heart of the Market, while modern Japanese cafe Yuku Do will serve its cult-favourite sandos, onigiri and matcha drinks.

Meanwhile, Juan’s Torta Cantina will bring all things Mexican street food, familiar favourite Sushi Train is making a welcome return, and Geranium Shop will round things out with gifts, homewares and lifestyle pieces.

The development goes well beyond the stalls, too. A light-filled market hall and atrium, a new laneway for outdoor dining and nightlife, rooftop green spaces, and a hotel tower rising above the precinct are all part of the vision.

When it all comes together in late 2026, the revitalised precinct is expected to draw over a million additional visitors each year, cementing it as one of Adelaide’s most vibrant corners to wander, snack, and discover something new.
