Doing the groceries on Carlisle Street is a genuinely good experience. You’ve got the major supermarkets for the weekly shop, a local fruit market that’s been serving the neighbourhood for over 30 years, a butcher with fresh meat and deli goods, kosher delis, specialty Indian and Asian grocers, and a bulk wholefoods store with over 400 products. It all adds up to one of the most complete food shopping destinations in the area.
The multicultural character of the strip comes through clearly here, with ingredients and products you’d struggle to find anywhere else nearby. For locals, it’s just part of daily life on the street, and for anyone new to the area, it’s a good reason to make Carlisle Street your regular shopping run. The Bakeries & Patisseries and Bottleshops nearby round out a very satisfying food shop.
