A 200-metre cast-iron and glass arcade between Grainger Street and Clayton Street. Eight hundred stalls and lock-ups originally; closer to 100 now, but the bones are the same and the place is alive again after a recent restoration. The cheap lunch options are as good as anything in the city — French and Spanish charcuterie at Mark Toney's, hot pies at Joe's, gyros and pho in the food court.
The original Marks & Spencer's Penny Bazaar at alcove 24 has been preserved as a small heritage display inside a working butcher's stall. Worth a slow wander even if you do not need anything; entry is from any of the four entrances.
