The Karmelitermarkt’s farmers’ market is an instituion. The calm market square through the week comes to life every Saturday morning when all kinds of sellers throw up their stands selling all kinds of artisanal products. Every stand has personality, whether they sell cheese, home made porchetta, or honey fresh from the hive.
If there is one thing to point out about this market, it is the incredible Austro-Italian influence that can be found amongst the stands as, you guessed it, most of them are run by Italians and Austrians! Except the Brit’ butcher, Richard, who’s the guy behind, Britwurst, the famous British sausage brand.
Good to know… the prices here are a little more inflated than other farmers markets because of its popularity…and top quality
Tip: If you want to cook at home on a Saturday night, go to this market without a specific recipe, let yourself be inspired by the seasonal colours and ingredients the farmers bring with them, and take advantage of the free samples on offer.
