Maybe we were unlucky, but when we visited this market that we’d read so many good reviews of here there were just 4 stands. As only occasional meat eaters that left us with a veg stall, meringues or coffee. We had expected more. Perhaps this is how it is on Friday and instead Saturday would be the recommended time to visit? I mean I am looking at all the pictures from the other reviews and there is a lot of stuff that we would have been really happy to see.

Love this market. They’ve tons of fresh produce on their stalls, including fruit, veg, cheese, meats, baked goods, and seeds. Bring cash though because it is a market after all!

The Green Door Market is a great addition to this part of the city. The lack of good quality food markets in town has always annoyed me. So many markets in Dublin are just Saturday or Sunday markets and focus on hot food. The Green Door is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday and provides fresh, organic Irish products. There are two large vegetable stalls, butcher, fishmonger and stalls with cheese, olives, cured meats, fresh juices, bread, chocolate(so goooood)…and much more. There is a real community atmosphere in the market, I really hope it continues to grow and flourish!

I love markets for their freshness and personal touch in general. But this one is in addition indoors which makes it especially in Ireland attractive. Also I think most markets are initiated by the council or a business person who just happens to have the space. And there the Green Door Market again is different. It is the brain child of two fruit and veg producers who wanted to start their own market plus having a certain standard. They got a manager on board who they knew already to look after the organisational things so that they can focus on their core business. They are still growing with more stalls coming in but they want to make sure that the people and the quality of their products fits into their market. When we were there for a Unilocal event to get to know the market they had already all basics(fruit, veg, fish, meat, cheese bread) covered and in addition the likes of chocolate, olives, juices and warm food. I loved the atmosphere here and seeing how passionate all the marketeers are about their food /product and being part of this little gem in The Coombe.

Fabulous new addition to the market scene in Dublin. After a good nosey round there on Saturday, I can confirm that I will be endeavoring to get as much of my grocery shopping as possible there. Where else can you get organic fruit and veg directly from the supplier, whilst also trying amazing cheeses, organic meats, locally caught fish, freshly baked bread, preservative free, and a smoothie or juice whipped up on the spot, to go with your hot raclette(Google it!), while you’re at it. It’s all indoors too, which means you don’t have to brave the elements to buy good food directly from the source here. If you have kiddies, they have a kid’s playground area in the middle, and there are even nice tunes and clean toilets. My advice is to go along, talk to the traders, sample their wares, and for heaven’s sake, buy your fruit and veg, organically, directly from the source, with no multinational nasty intermediary, here. They’re open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, each week. So you have no excuse!

Lovely little indoor market that recently opened up — it’s here thurs, fri and sat. Lots of fresh fruit, fesh veg, fresh veg, fresh meat, specialty super foods… the list goes on and on! Every shop owner is there to chat and answer your questions — what a helpful bunch! :) If you’re hungry you can get raclette, crepes, vegan goodies, and also grab a delicious(I like the orange one) smoothie; all from the various vendors at the market. BTW, the chocolate is YUM.

I visited The Green Door Market today as part of Unilocal Dublin’s Spring back to Life Event — I had to cut my tour short so didn’t get to stay for the full tour with Emily, our Community Manager, the other Unilocalers and The Green Door Market’s Manager Oonagh Duggan — however for the hour that I was there, I loved it and I’m looking forward to returning. Next time I’ll have more time and I’ll be shopping. It’s a great set up. Fresh Organic and mostly Irish produce brought to you by those who grow their own produce, make their own products or carefully source it. So much to choose from and the idea that you can buy your weekly shop under one roof has become a reality. I’ll be back for Fitzsimons’ fresh fish, Mulhall’s organic sausages, Tartine’s bread, Stapleton’s Fruit and Veg. The Real Olive Company’s everything and The Girls at the Market’s fresh cakes, Ben and Goose’s chocolate and I can not wait to try Le Petit Camion’s offerings … mmmm… there are others and it is growing by the week. A definite must if you are into quality, fresh, organic, healthy food — a great addition to Dublin’s food offerings

Always wanted to find an organic farmers market nearby and thanks to a Unilocal event found this one! Its a newly opened market in St. Patricks cathedral neighbourhood with some genuinely nice folks came together and built a sustainable community. You can get right from fruits, vegetables, oils, melts, seafood, healthy juices to chocolates! A healthy place to be at! I liked the fact that the stall owners get the necessary food ingredients from each other, a great way to support and co-exist! If you are a curious cat, they will explain you about where do they grow/get their produce and answer any questions you have! And if you want to grab a bite, there are some crepes and other small food options available! Price you would ask: reasonable for an organic market Go shopping!
