Belconnen Fresh Food Markets

Belconnen Fresh Food Markets is presented as Capital Food Market, a Canberra destination bringing fresh food traders and casual dining together under one roof. The market combines food shopping with places to eat, offering an all-day setting for a quick coffee, a casual meal or time spent exploring the traders.

The dining line-up spans several styles, including pizza and pasta, Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese, Mexican and gelato options. Named traders include Vanilla Pod Pizza & Pasta, What the Pho, Kushi Japanese, Sushant’s Indian Cuisine, Daily Brew, Hao Chi, Roo Tea, Taco About and The Pandan Leaf. Fresh food is also central to the venue, with providers such as Tom’s Superfruits Super Store, Knead Bakery, Sea Harvest and Deli Cravings listed on the site.

There is a strong sense of continuity behind the newer venue. The original Belconnen Fresh Food Markets supported independent traders, local businesses and farmers from 1976, before reopening as Capital Food Market in 2023. The market describes its atmosphere through the sounds, colours and scents of fresh food, while its design includes thermal temperature control and solar electricity generation as part of its sustainability focus. With varied food choices and shared dining spaces, it suits visitors looking to browse, eat together or simply enjoy a relaxed market visit.
