    This market hall is on the site of the old Parade Cinema and has been restored to incorporate the building's history and heritage. It houses an eclectic mix of stalls selling food and crafts, with pop-up stalls throughout the year. The Little Prince is believed to be the smallest pub in the UK, transformed from a disused sushi bar into a space for only six people at a time. An open-top bus restaurant adds to the mix. Seating is available inside the building and on the front pavement. Definitely worth a visit.

    I love this place with its a variety of eateries, places to drink and shops to browse - a lot under one roof but recommended visit if in Margate. A great atmosphere and set up.

    Didn't expect this magical place when we pushed the door. Feels magical with all the little lights and there is all the food you are looking for. The vegan food from the first shop is out of this world. Lovely staff! Highly recommend!

    Best veggie breakfast! Great find, we ate on the top deck of a double decker bus inside the market. Good food, fast friendly service.

    Full of a broad range of pop-up stalls and food fronts with exciting cuisines! Each with their own distinctive take, there's half a bus inside as well and upstairs a whole bunch of small independent artisanal shops.

    Found it by accident, had a day out in Margate and saw the bright red building... What a joy !! Quirky and so much to look at.. Fabulous independent units, food, drinks, clothes.. best Bath Buns from Gina's Old Kent bakery, coffee from Old Kent Roastery, and lovely curry and wraps from Foody Moody.. Would recommend, and will be going back 😃

    Lovely quirky indoor food and shopping market, has had many uses over the years, has a certain charm and is well kept inside and out. The bakery and pizza places are highly recommended.

    Exceptional market for farm-fresh foods! The vibrant atmosphere enhances the shopping experience. A must-visit for those seeking quality produce in a delightful setting.

    Disappointing. Highly rated but when we visited, it looked quite abandoned! Barely any stalls open. We visited at 12:30 pm and 6:30 pm but it was the same situation at both times with only three or four places open. Much smaller than we expected as well. Maintaining the high rating and not giving less than three stars for Lulu's gelato where we have some lovely lemon curd ice cream and Gina's Old Kent Bakery.

    Love the vibe, super cosy, great food and definitely a place to go if you're just passing by. Not very big though, make sure you don't miss the first floor!

  • 5/5 Doc M. 7 months ago on Google
    This place has become a foodie delight with stalls selling top notch food. The pizza, Greek and Indian are all great but we ate at newcomer Tic's Bus Cafe yesterday an Asian menu including delicious noodle soup, a penang curry and a succulent chicken Satay burger where all excellent value and there is bus seating up stairs which gives an American Diner vibe. Afterwards we had sweet treats from Gina's Bakery and the awesome Ice Cream shop. Fun little shops well worth a browse and it was all set up for Halloween with a spider room to make you squeal and howling animatronic zombies. Well worth a visit

    Lots of different types of food and drinks. A must see in Margate. We had the Vietnamese food at the very back and it was amazing.

    Eccentric and fascinating foodie court in Old Market indoors. Maybe had to high expectations or need to revisit to get better food experience but building itself makes still huge impression and rating is mainly for that

  • 4/5 Karen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Small indoor market with a surprising number of shows and food options cramed inside.

  • 5/5 Lauren G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place for international cuisine - small stores, local feel, great value food! Good for vegetarians and vegans (I got the Greek beetroot pita!)

  • 5/5 Mark S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice vibe and good range of food. Pizza was very nice but let it cool bad! Mouth is still recovering.

  • 5/5 Emily C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really quirky place with lots of miniature shop fronts with bars, cafes, restaurants (takeaway) a bakery and cute shops. Love the small scale of everything. There's places to sit on benches to enjoy your food and drink. Good for taking some unique photos.

  • 5/5 Chris I. 1 year ago on Google
