Samira Al RomaithiMarch 18, 2015Food stalls with an array of different cuisines as well as fresh fruit, baked goods, and even a store dedicated solely to tabasco! Loved the vintage take on some of the stores.

Los AngelesAugust 1, 2013Opened in 1934 and with much of its original flavor — the freshest produce, gourmet meats and cheeses, and hot donuts — plus a few extra touches (gluten-free pizza, gumbo, authentic Mexican food).Upvoted 4 weeks ago
C BartzaJuly 16, 2016All the great food places are almost overwhelming. Everything from Brazilian BBQ, French, doughnuts to ice cream. If your in the mood to try something different, this is the place. Park vouch avail…
I come here a lot. Really nice farmers market. Food, trinkets and almost everything else. Right next to The Grove so you could spend a whole day. Well worth the visit.
Alex D AmicoFebruary 4, 2019Amazing selection of cuisine and great quality food. A historical place with with iconic character... Come hungry.
Beyond BlackOctober 20, 2012This farmers market reminds me of the tapas markets in Madrid. Get there early to grab a seat and eat savory crepes while you watch the hustle and bustle as everything opens.
Catsi CatalanJune 1, 2024At the farmers market, fresh pasta stands out as a delightful treat. Made with locally sourced ingredients and crafted with care, each bite is a celebration of flavor and freshness.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍August 29, 2019Not your traditional farmers market where you'll expect fruit and vegetable stands, there is some but the majority are restaurants that range from Cajun to Mediterranean to regular good ol' barbecue
A wonderful place filled with the cuisines of the world. This place is a foody mecca. More of a bazaar than a market. Be warned the grove parking is a completely different entity.
Rachel YalowitzJanuary 30, 2016I love everything about this place. There's so many different types of food to try here! I would highly recommend trying the Brazilian place! You can never go wrong getting food at this place!- Sara SantiagoMarch 31, 2020I loved the place, vendors, and products that I bought. It was fresh, the best selection, and trustworthy to buy. Besides, the ambiance of the market was very clean, cute, and stylish.
The ArtificialNovember 27, 2017A historic market with over 100 grocers, specialty shops, and restaurants. It is a favorite among the locals and tourists since 1934. There's something for everyone here!- Kristen B.September 1, 2019Try one of everything! Yes, that’s a LOT... so you’ll have to come back multiple times. Everything I ate here was delicious. This is a “must do” for every LA visit for me.

Kili UhuruAugust 14, 2014We had lunch at marmelade cafe, might be the only restaurant with excellent quality/price ratio. service was fantastic and food surprisingly really good for such a touristic place!

I go out of my way to buy groceries here... Freshest fruits, vegetables, and meats in all LA! Try Farm Boy for fruits/vegetables, Puritan Poultry for chicken, & Huntington Meats for meats and sausage

FabFitFunDecember 9, 2011Love this spot! Take your time looking through the shops & food stands.. You never know who you might see.. Plus, everything smells amazing and tastes even better!
The Most Interesting Man in the WorldMarch 31, 2014I prefer picking an exotic piece of fruit myself, however dangerous the circumstances, but the quality and selection of tastes here might be worth risking your life for as well, should it be crowded.
Biola UniversitySeptember 14, 2011Located at 3rd & Fairfax adjacent to The Grove shopping center, the Original Farmers Market features an amazing array of eateries with cuisine ranging from Singaporean to French to American BBQ.- Banana Leaf is an addictive hidden spot for Singapore/Malaysian food. Moishes is one of the best for Mediterranean food. Great crepes, Brazilian churrasco, Loteria for Mexican and .....

Colin StarkFebruary 2, 2016I just adore strolling around the FM. Lunch here is usually a delight for the tastebuds! Highly recommended to all ages
If you see an open spot in the Farmers Market parking lot, grab it! Make sure you get a 2-hour validation pass from any of the merchants inside (but not from stores in The Grove).
via LA Mag: The market remains overwhelmingly quirky, from the funky souvenir stands to the Shine Gallery's vintage toys. Hosts some of the city's finest butchers & fishmongers.
Marlo GOctober 19, 2011A foodie's paradise and gawker's delight, it's right behind CBS where DWTS & American Idol tape. Home to the Pinkberry test shop, you'll get to try things that may not be rolled out!
