We love to visit the market as we can get lots of truly yummy things here. We buy organic cheese and meat and love Martins Jerked Meat stall. There is something for everyone

We trade at this market on a regular basis and it is definitely the best market that we attend. The atpmoshere, diversity of customers and traders surely make it a unique farmers market and definately deserves to be the local food hero for 2007. It's got my vote!

I've been to a few other UK markets and Cardiff's is undoubtedly the best. The community spirit is terrific and the stall selection gets better and better with each week. Get down there!

I adore the friendly relaxed atmosphere, the selection is great and I love that I can walk there, it’s a pleasure to be able to get great quality, great selection, mostly locally sourced produce and warm friendly service in one place. I invariably come across someone I know, often it’s the only chance I get to see them! The market has its own Cardiff-wide community that is so easy to become part of. All you need to do is show up every now and again and not only will you get a chance to sample some of the very best that Wales has to offer but there is a good chance you will make a few friends at the same time.

A fantastic market , we trade there whenever we're not at a festival or renactment, a wide selection of local produce always a great turnout of stall with a massive variety of produce (its so good i dont mind leaving a review even though im up against them for the award LOL) Martin (martins jerked meat)

An excellent market--glad to see it is to be part of the Cardiff International food festival in Cardiff Bay in July.

it has a wide range of foods, it's an enjoyable experience and I usually meet someone I know or half know! my god daughter and I share a ritual almond croissant. it's really great to see the variety of apples; orchards and varieties are in decline because of the supermarket.

This is an excellent way to unwind on a Sunday morning in the heart of Cardiff. There is some excellent produce on sale and the quality and variety keeps on getting better and better - the fish producers are a welcome bonus. It is a way of putting money directly into the pockets of the hard working producers.

Riverside Market is very important to the local economy of Cardiff and immediate areas. It is vital that there is a an outlet for small niche market farmers and market gardens. Moreover the market adds a certain dynamic to the embankment area on the Sunday riiht next to the millenium stadium. This really is putting Cardiff and riverside on the map.

A really lovely atmosphere and a sense of community all revolving around food! Fresh, local produce, wonderful ambience and a real social event too - I love going there!
