Coming her on a Saturday while in Limerick is a must. The variety of foods and drink, sandwiches breakfast and lunch offerings will please almost anyone. There's a chocolate cookie shop, fermented foods stand, bread and pastry, cheese, fish, and meats. The atmosphere is lively and friendly. There's even a clothing and jewelry shop. It's a large farmer's type market serving the entire city. In addition to the shopping and eye candy just looking, it's a wonderful place to observe a cross section of the people who live here. read more

The Milk Market, according to google, is a go-to place to visit on the weekends (especially Saturday) when you're in Limerick and it did not disappoint! I had the most amazing steak sandwich & fresh squeezed OJ. All the stands looked like it had amazing food and goodies. I wish we had more time to explore all the stands, but was in a crunch to leave for the Cliffs Of Moher. Everyone we did interact with were extremely nice and pleasant. I would definitely recommend making a trip here if you have time! read more

Stopped by this market today on our way to Waterford to break up the drive. My friend and I are both foodies and we enjoyed our little stroll through food town central. I got the chocolate almond croissant to start. Then hit the sausage grilling cart to get a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich came with diced onions, sausage, and bacon. Then came the fun part of adding all the condiments. They had a ton of things to add on and sauces. I added coleslaw, pineapple salsa, pickles, chipotle mayo and a cheese sauce. I know that probably doesn't sound as good together but I couldn't decide. I chose this spot since the cart seemed consistently busy. It was ok but I was glad to have something different. It was super filling so I couldn't finish it. They had tons of vendors from fresh fruit, soaps for sale, Indian cuisine, Mediterranean food, nuts, baked goods, crepes, a butcher, olive oils, plants for sale and much more. read more

I think the milk market is a great asset to Limerick. It's improved a lot, in comparison to how it was years ago. Saturday is definitely the day to go there. I wouldn't probably go any other day myself, but I don't actually know what other days it's on. Saturday is always busy. The square that holds a lot of it has been done up and there's a nice vibe in there, with a seating area to sit down and have your coffee or or cake from one of the stalls. When I went the market over Christmas there was an amazing cake stall, that was so colourful and enticing, I could have eaten everything. The lady who runs it makes it all and is very friendly, giving myself and my dad extras. I believe though my dad is a regular to her stall! There are of course lots of other stalls with all kinds of things to buy, from day to day items to jewellery and art. read more

If you are an out of town visitor it's worth a trip on a Saturday the atmosphere is lively with tables selling all sorts of bits and bobs, speciality foods, and some busker bringing music to the atmosphere. Loads of fun. For a local, if you frequent the market and get to know the sellers they are known to give special discounts to regulars and to add a little extra to sweeten the deal. I love the market. read more

We did spend a lot of time in Limerick, but this was a pretty fun place. When we arrived it was packed, but as the lunch crowd thinned out a little it is pretty nice. Lots of interesting food options. There is a seating area upstairs in the middle that was not too crowded, so we spread out to pick our lunches then were able to sit and enjoy. read more

Love the milk market. Definitely check out the vintage shops, the stall from Nut Shed, the Indian food stall, and some of the baked goods.

The Milk Market is one of my favourite things about Limerick, and a bit of a secret I think! Never knew about this place before I moved here and I was happily surprised by how good it was. Saturday is the day, and it's always milling with people from the early morning. Outside on the street will be full of some of the usual market stalls, some full of crap and some decent food options - look out for the Tiwana Spice stall and grab some packets of the best Indian spices around. Inside is where the magic happens. The outer perimeter has some shop stalls that are permanent to the area, crepes and cheese, the Nook for coffee, Funky Donut and some other food and vintage food shops. In the centre then will be all kinds of artisan, homemade foods and delicious smells to distract you about the place. There's nothing here that doesn't look like great quality grub and you'll find just about everything you could be craving. It's such a nice atmosphere around which to stroll on a Saturday morning. read more

A must Saturday trip! Something for all the family. Enjoy people watching whilst checking out Wild Irish Chocolates at stall 11 or 12. Adore the almond & orange dark chocolate... Heaven! read more

We went here on a sunday, so there wasn't much to see. The locals told us it's a Saturday morning tradition, so if you want to go to the milk market, that's the time to go. They have various cafes, a fudge vendor, artisan cheeses, a fishing shop, an old clothes shop, people selling records and jewelry. It's set up like an open-air market inside a covered venue. read more
