With a tempting array of restaurants, food stalls, supermarkets and specialty stores, Cabramatta is a bustling marketplace that captures the vitality and diversity of Asia.

Choose from a wide array of Asian foods, herbs and spices, fresh seafood, meat and vegetables, quality fabrics, clothing, jewellery, electrical goods, herbal medicine and food specialties. And remember, haggling is a favourite past time in Cabramatta!

Tempt your tastebuds - the one-stop place for delicious, fresh dishes at great prices.

Here, among more than 60 eateries, are the authentic cuisines of Vietnam, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, plus several Chinese styles and an excellent choice of vegetarian eateries influenced by the Buddhist communities in the area.

The compulsory Cabramatta culinary experience is a bowl of aromatic and nutritious pho (pronounced fer), an aromatic Vietnamese noodle soup with special homemade beef stock, noodles and an array of crisp vegetables, fresh herbs and garnishes. Delicious!
