I went with a couple of friends for dinner- we were around the area and thought it was an opportune time to show them a place they weren't familiar with! I've been here since I was a kid, and though some things changed, alot hasn't! This was during a world cup game, so it was very lively at pub areas as they were broadcasting live. Everyone was so invested, from the patrons, chefs, servers, and even line cooks! Went to a stall selling the 'best corned beef sandwich' from Magee's kitchen. The servers and cook were super nice and the corned beef on display made my mouth water! It was very good, and paired with their blood orange soda, wasn't too heavy! It was a big enough sandwich that I took the other half home! I also got a cornbread muffin from Gumbo pot- which was good but a little dry. There's plenty of shade, though the area is mostly outdoors- lots of trees and buildings with covers and awnings. There's a fancy French market in there and plenty of eating options (though open hours vary). Come by this historic stop, walk through the Grove, and enjoy the hustle and bustle!

The Bottom Line 4 stars: Unique, historical shopping and dining complex. Huge selection of…read morehigh-quality food, from meat and vegetables to prepared foods to fine dining. A great experience for locals and tourists alike. Location 4 stars: In the Fairfax District area of Los Angeles, to the West of the Grove. It has busy parking lot which is usually quite full. Although some restaurants will validate part of the parking fees, be prepared to pay somewhere between $10 and $56 depending on how long you stay and which stores you visit. Make sure you check the parking rates sign by the entrance and plan accordingly. You can also park in the Grove's multi-story parking structure, but they will not accept validation from Farmer's Market businesses. The Grove also has Valet parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Nice rustic but well-kept open air set up that has been around for almost 100 years! It is focused on local and international food. As you stroll through the market you will encounter gourmet food stores (such as Monsieur Marcel Gourmet Store), meat counters (such as Huntington Meats), takeout restaurants (such as Stara Polish Pierogi and Sausage, Banana Leaf Singaporean restaurant and Oh My Dumpling Chinese food), and fine dining restaurants (such as ETTORE OSTERIA Italian and Monsieur Marcel French Bistro). Once you are on premises you can use the Grove trolly to visit the (attached) Grove complex.

It's very well run, I love that they always have music and someone there to help you. My only gripe, and it's a big one, is that they should enforce not allowing dogs into the market, which is the law. Especially because the Farmer's Market is run by the City of Santa Monica, and animal control and public resource officers are departments of the city tasked at addressing these issues. Yet, I rarely see them at Farmers Market, let alone the park with off leash dogs running everywhere. There's no excuse for not addressing this issue. It doesn't affect my 5 star rating because I still think it is very well run, it's clean, I want to give small businesses vendors the business they deserve, and I think Farmer's Market is a good resource to the community. Highly recommend! 5 stars all the way! *****

One stand charges a $1 credit card fee; I bought an item and then two seconds later, realized the stand was selling some veggies I needed, and I had to pay the $1 fee all over again which was a bummer. It's definitely less of a vibe than Mar Vista or Brentwood FM. It works if you want to just get in, get out with some local produce. If you want to meander and have an experience, hit any of the other local FMs.

It is interesting to see the difference in produce around the country and around the world. At this market, the vendors were so friendly and loved telling me about their produce for sale. Some vendors offered tastings and others had very unique items. My favorite was the long beans called ice- cream beans. Many of the booths had a price sheet or prices on a chalk board so it was easy to know how much everything would cost either by the piece or pound. The market stretches a few blocks close to the beach and is easily walkable to the pier area.

He introduced me to this market years ago and it's fun each time! It's exciting seeing all of the vibrant produce, and often times, I'm introduced to something new! Fruit, Veggies & More | I'm amazed by all of the colorful, vibrant fruit and veggies all around! The samples are fantastic and usually gets me every time! Haha! Everything tastes so fresh, it's such an eye-opening experience! Produce straight from the farm truly makes a difference, it's like an explosion of flavor in a totally different way! I truly can taste the difference! Purchases of the Day | The Blood Oranges were so full of flavor, tasted like half orange and a bit of grapefruit! The Cherry samples were love at first bite; got the large container! The Red Velvet Plums had me at first sight, as I love the name! Haha! They were really good! I tried so many Plum samples & they stood out the most! The peaches were so full of flavor! I immediately imagine putting them in my morning oatmeal, as well as yogurt! They taste so good on their own as well, yum!! Scenery | It's quite the busy market, as there so much going on, but also relaxing atmosphere! This time there were small tables and chairs where people were dining! There was a musician playing a guitar and he started singing to me, it was really cute! People were so friendly, both at the booths and while walking around! Each booth I visited had the friendliest customer service and everyone was so knowledgeable about the items! A special thank you to the sweet girls at the tea booth! Thanks for the incredibly fragrant OSMANTHUS OOLONG tea sample, was absolutely so delicious!! Once I finish all of the different types of tea at home, I'll have to buy your tea!! Sweet Tooth | Though I was fully focused on sampling and purchasing the vibrant, fresh fruit and veggies, I also have a sweet tooth! Haha! I had a delicious pear croissant to go! Overall | A market full of fresh veggies, fruit, and other foods and drinks is always a win! I'm looking forward to going again! What a fun experience!
