The Stork Hotel is a part of the vibrant market precinct, within walking
distance to all major cultural & recreational attractions, & provides
a convenient gateway to Victoria's scenic towns.
The Queen Vic Market is the largest fresh food produce market in the southern
hemisphere, renowned for its cheap fish & seafood (freshly caught
bream, trout, snapping Moreton Bay Bugs & frisky lobsters), meat section
(whole sides of lamb or just a single chop), & acres of fruit &
vegetables trucked in from neighbouring farms daily.
Guests of the Stork Hotel can also obtain discounted rates for the famous
"Queen Vic Foodies tour".
The Market Precinct area abounds in cafes, Asian fast food outlets, Italian
eateries, French pastisseries & food marts, all providing great value
for money. The bustling delicatessen section of the Queen Vic Market also
provides a feast of delicious snack foods ranging from coffee & croissants
to quiche, pizza & fried rice, all freshly made & piping hot -
sit in the sun & watch the buskers or just while away time with the
pidgeons & friendly locals while you eat!
if you wait until one hour before the Market closes on Tuesdays &
Saturdays, large platters of meat & boxes of fruit & vegies are
further discounted to clear before a non-market day many Stork Hotel guests
buy their meat & vegies at the Market, then cook up a storm in our
guests' kitchen ... saving money while having fun.
