Anything that involves cheese is good. When there is cheese on a date this is super good. These markets are amazing, there’s fresh food from sausages, vegetables, a special market café, bread…. everything that your average food addict loves. For me, as a carb lover, this place is heaven. It’s also nice to come here to pretend you are classy and swanky when really you are hungover from Friday or Saturday night antics and need to get some fresh air. Best not to be hungover for your market date though…. These markets are on Saturday and Sunday mornings so you’ve got enough time during the week to think up an elaborate date plan for after the markets to extend the amazingness of said date.
The smell of La Cigale, Parnell’s French style market, is what hits you first upon arrival. It’s a wonderful concoction of organic fruit and vegetables, freshly roasted coffee and mouthwatering food cooking. With an emphasis on being organic, the produce is all locally grown. Along with this there is a wide variety of artisan bread, cheese, preserves and hot food. If you’re in the mood for nibbling on something I’d recommend the freshly made paella or perhaps a hot rotisserie chicken to take away!
