"A historic covered market in Belfast, known for its food stalls and vibrant atmosphere." - Aashna Gajra
"Belfast's historic market where the reviewer bought tiny Wexford strawberries from a backyard grower; the berries were described as jewel‑like — small, juicy, and bright red all the way through — leaving the reviewer utterly gobsmacked." - Eater Staff
"One of Europe’s oldest continually operating open-air markets (dating to 1604), this bustling Saturday market is full of local purveyors selling produce, baked goods, and freshly made sandwiches. Standout experiences include oysters shucked to order (bought for £1), a towering breakfast sandwich loaded with potatoes, mushrooms, sausage, and egg on a Belfast bap, exceptionally fresh strawberries from small growers, and a chewy, coconut-dusted tray of Fifteens — no-bake squares made from crushed digestive biscuits, glacé cherries, marshmallows, and sweetened condensed milk that become gooey and studded with cherry and marshmallow pieces." - Amy McCarthy
"Once every season, St George’s Market opens its doors in the evening. Rather than its daytime focus on groceries and produce, the Twilight Market takes on a more grown up, sophisticated feel. Delegations from most of Belfast’s top restaurants set up stalls alongside artisan bakers, cheesemakers, and floggers of other delicacies. Live entertainment is also present, which is best enjoyed with either a glass of craft beer or cider or maybe a few glasses of wine." - MATADOR_NETWORK
"St George’s Market is Belfast’s last surviving Victorian covered market. Open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings, it has retained much of its character as a traditional food and grocery market for the locals. While these people are well catered for at one end of the market hall, at the other end, visitors will find local craftspeople and artists selling their wares. The central area of the market, meanwhile, offers more artisanal food and drink, with Northern Irish and international cuisines being sold from adjacent stalls. The many antiques, books, and record stalls also deserve a special mention. Those wishing to bring back souvenirs from their time in Belfast are well catered to in St George’s, too. Tote bags and T-shirts adorned with local sayings and wisdom are particular favorites." - MATADOR_NETWORK
