3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

We went here for the first time after we walked around The Grove for a bit. It was a lot of fun to walk around and sample different things. One Mexican place was amazing but the falafel/kabab place (Moshes?) not so much. Desserts were fun to walk around and try. More

This "market" is located next to me work and about a mile from my place. I prefer the 20 minute bus ride to the hollywood farmer's market every Sun. This place is a huge tourist trap and the only place there I would say is absolutely awesome would have to be the Brazilian Grill right up front. It's delicious and... More

I started shopping there in 1954 when I moved to California from New York. There was nothing like the Farmers Market back East. I learned so much about food,some I had never heard of. The merchants were eagar to teach me how to cook the food I had never heard of. The Farmers Market is still the place I go... More

Being an LA native, I have to mention that tourists may not understand this place. It's crowded, noisy and not fancy or super-clean (almost opposite of the new and popular, cookie-cutter, outdoor malls, like the Grove, just next door). So, please, leave gems like this to the people who appreciate them... like me. Stay away! LOL But -grudgingly- if you... More

Think of an Asían/Central American food market, substract all the charm and character and throw it in the middle of a upmarket mall ... Do avoid! Better off anywhere else .... More

I love farmers markets and this one is open every single day. Lots of different foods to try! It's not your normal farmers market, but it'll do. I like the brazilian bbq spot. It's very delish! Try the garlic beef if you're a huge fan of garlic like me! More

Much depends upon what you look for. There are lots of unique stores and eateries. It seems crowded most of the time More

Best Greek food I ever had. First time I had a chicken gyro where the chicken wasn't dried out. Good spot closer to The Grove to people watch as well. More

I would love to live near here! It had a great vibe and it felt very nostalgic. Try to choose a day with nice weather if you go. I also loved the restaurants, especially the Greek one. More
