Historically, the Limerick market only sold milk in its early days. But since then, the market has become much more diversified!
Meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, bread, cheese… The Milk Market has it all! One thing’s for sure: here, you’ll be treated to quality products, made with respect and love for centuries of tradition!
Merchants are friendly and open to tourists, and will advise you on how to prepare each dish they sell. All with a smile, and the good humor so dear to the Irish! (It’s not uncommon for a traditional music group to perform here).
Don’t miss their selection of meats, artisanal butter, poultry, cakes, aged vegetables and cheeses… The Milk Market is a real invitation to discovery, with its play of colors, smells and textures! Of course, the market offers a wide range of organic products, and relies on short circuits, using only local produce. It’s the guarantee of eco-responsible products, which allow customers to preserve the environment while enjoying healthy products that are good for their bodies!
To find it, the market is located in Limerick city center. The latter is located under an impressive white tent, so you can do your shopping sheltered from any rain. The atmosphere is friendly and conducive to discovery and exchange. Many producers like to meet customers, talk about their work and offer free tastings of their products.
A great way to immerse yourself in Limerick’s culinary and gastronomic heritage, without breaking the bank (prices are reasonable).
