Manchester Arndale Market

The arndale market is an excellent market that is completely overlooked. Entering from the doors on Shudehill /​High St you have the market stalls on the left, selling all different types of garments, shoes and jewellry to your standard mobile phone stall that sell cases and do network unlocking and all that blurb.
The right hand side is my favourite place — a foodie haven of different nationalities of food. Here there’s a fish market, meat market, fruit and veg stall, even a sweet stall.
The Queen Brie, one of my favourite cheese shops in MCR is always there to cater to your cheese fiend needs and of course, who could forget Wings Chinese, Pancho’s Burritos and the awesomeness that is Viet Shack, are all stationed here! It gets packed at lunch times, so get there quick before the majority sell out.

Woah, love this market.
Lots of options, the lines move quick, and there’s not one but two burrito places (why they’re the same burrito spot, I do not know, but I liked it anyway).
I got some delicious Vietnamese food and the guys were nice and the food quality. It’s always packed here but as I said, the lines do move and we were in and out.
I didn’t see a lot of seating so it may be more of a takeaway spot. But if you’re looking for quick, look no further.

I really like the Arndale Market and I find myself visiting more and more regularly for my lunch!
You’ve got a bunch of different options and a vast array of cuisines are covered so there is pretty much something for everyone!
There isn’t a whole host of seating so it may fit you better to grab some lunch as a takeaway and head off but if you’re lucky you’ll get a seat!
I could only recommend Panchos or Viet Shack personally as they are the two I’ve tried but there is so much option you can go wrong!

The Arndale Market is basically a food to go market in The Manchester Arndale, it is actually quite big with one size focusing on food and the other, they is a likes of card shops, barber shops and beauty shops.
Around the non-​food side the overwhelming smell of beauty products is awful and off putting, hence is one of the reasons I rarely visit that side, and that most of it is filled will rubbish and honestly some of the products are charity shop quality.
The food markets don’t look too appetising either, gluten free seems to be very poor, and they are also off putting smells and looks of the food and hence, many of these places I wouldn’t trust to eat from, even companies like Wing’s who are based here.
They is a smoothie bar here, and like a few other places here it is overpriced and as I recall most of the things here is not very good quality, I even got a haircut off this market and it was terrible, and I had to go somewhere else to tidy it up and it wasn’t cheap either.
The Arndale Market is in a good location, opposite TEA42 and The Co-​operative and very close to Shudehill and the 2^nd floor Arndale exit near Nando’s and Waterstones, simply I would recommend going outside the Arndale for something to eat to independent chains, or even the Nando’s in the Arndale, if you want good food, at reasonable prices and avoiding the mayhem of the food court. I give 2 stars purely because it would be unfair to penalise other stalls for something they have not been a part of, and I don’t feel this place deserves a single 1 star rating, but still I still feel 2 stars is a little generous and it may have to be revised in the near future.

Shopping, shopping and one more time shopping you can fund hire lots from cloths till grocery Inc nice coffee shops and restaurants.

Just incredible. I posted about this one already but it vanished! This market is a true dream, tonnes of authentic local vendors selling amazing food. You have Zorbas with the most incredible Stifado, you have a truly immense burrito bar which kicks the ass of Barburrito. There are also veg shops, a crepes place, a joyful Indian counter, pizza by the slice and a micro bar.
Boom. Then you have the fish market which has been a integral part of the Manchester underground since years gone by. It’s smelly, but great. I remember traveling to it in the underneath of the Arndale in the 80s. it was like Blade Runner on a sugar induced hallucination trip — triggered by Opal Fruits and ended by a smacked arse. Oh the nostalgia! Go to the Arndale. I often go here hoping to find my Nana, but she’s dead.

The Arndale Market is a weird combination of everything I liked about Manchester. It’s almost defiantly grubby. The rest of the Arndale shopping centre is slick and professional, while the market is tucked away in its own little chaotic corner.
There’s a great choice of food and drink, so my lunch looked like a hastily convened UN meeting. The delegates from Greece and Jamaica were especially tasty.
Like any market, there’s a few dodgy stalls too. But I’m a sucker for jerk chicken so I’m just going to gloss over them and give this four stars.

The Arndale Market used to be rubbish. It basically sold plasticy shoes that would fall apart in a week, and a range of fake designer jeans and hoodies. Calvin Klassics anyone?!
Now it still sells a small bit of tat, but a market wouldn’t be a market without tat.
However, the food part of the market is the real reason to go. Where else can you buy a curry, sushi, falafel, an Oreo milkshake, pizza, real ale, cheese and a couple of red snapper all under one roof?! There are plenty of tables to eat at, which are cleaned more regularly than those at the food court. If it seems packed then there are usually some stools free with people watching opportunities.
Thank you Arndale Market, for I need never set foot in the food court again!

I think that when faced with the utter predictability of all the massive shops in the Arndale Centre, that the Arndale Markets are a welcome relief. It’s nice to see a bit of independence going on.
Most of the clothes shops in the Arndale Market are a bit naff, to be fair. If you’re looking for cutting edge fashion, then the mainstream shops are unfortunately the place to go.
However, the food section of the market is really awesome. Loads of small eateries, with food from all over the world. There’s a couple of delicatessen counters and even a miniature pub. All very cool and a way better place to get your lunch than the food hall on the other side of the Arndale where your best bet is a Subway.

I absolutely disagree with these 2 reviews. Manchester Arndale Market clearly has a reputation to shake, but you can do much worse than to find yourself here.
Just look at the list of things you can purchase here: fish, meat, fruit and veg, gorgeous flowers, deli products, jewellery, specialty ales, specialty cheeses, breads, electrical goods, clothes, household goods. Not only that, but there’s a hairdressers, nail salon, key cutting service, shoe service… the list goes on.
You might think this market is all quantity not quality, but you’ll be wrong again. Sure it takes sorting a little bit of wheat from the chaff, but you won’t find a lot of the Imported goods, exotic fruit and vegetables or fresh fish anywhere else in town at these prices.

I have major problems with Arndale Market. I am not a fan of the indoor Markets to begin with but one in the Arndale… surely this is the lowest of the low.
I suppose the only benefit is that you escape the Arndale itself! I can comment on the service as I have not been into the market itself due t the smell of meat that hits you as you approach.
My friends have told me there are good stalls especially if you want something in particular s
