We’ve spent years trying to find the perfect way to describe what makes The Market Kitchen so special. But really, you just have to experience it.
Step into a community space in Gasoline Alley, Red Deer, where coffee beans are roasted fresh each week, where local chefs turn fresh ingredients into unforgettable meals, and where Alberta’s best craft beer breweries come together, all under one roof. Nestled at the north end of the Farmers’ Market, this vibrant gathering place for a private event or a meal with friends and family.
What is The Market Kitchen?
While the Farmers’ Market is all about fresh, local vendors on the weekends, The Market Kitchen is a full-time food hall where you can grab incredible eats Thursday to Sunday in Central Alberta. It’s a permanent foodie playground inside the Market!
