QVM is a huge open air market selling goods and food (meat/produce). I went on a Saturday and it was pretty busy. I was disappointed that my guide book suggested to avoid the market and hit the food court instead. I did hit the food court and had an awesome flea market burger but the total highlight of my visit... More

A fun lively place to shop with many stalls selling the same goods but the prices are good. More

For Mother's Day we took my Mother-in-law to the QVM so that she could choose a present for herself. I was a bit dissapointed by the lack of variety in the non-food section.
