Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Oakleigh has one market we could verify, and the listing puts it indoors. Oakleigh Market, on Chester Street, is listed by Only Melbourne as an indoor food market with trading days of Wednesday to Saturday. That makes it a midweek-into-Saturday stop, not a Sunday one, so plan around those days.
The other four places on this page are food and shopping stops in and around it: the Eaton Mall strip, a Vietnamese bakery, a rooftop food and wine bar at the market’s street address, and a Korean grocer. All five are in Oakleigh. Only one of them, Olympia, had a menu with prices we could read, so only that one has prices here, copied from its menu on 3 October 2026. Keen for a feed? Start with the market, then work out from there.

Oakleigh Market — 12-18 Chester Street, Oakleigh VIC 3166
The Only Melbourne directory lists Oakleigh Market as an indoor food market and gives hours of Wednesday 7am-4pm, Thursday and Friday 7am-6pm, and Saturday 7am-1.30pm. That listing is undated, so treat the hours as “listing says” and check before you go. It names the stalls’ range as “Fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, delicatessen, bread, nuts, gifts and watch repairs.” It says the market runs between Chester and Portman streets, and that there is “Free on-site customer parking.” We found no website of the market’s own.
Market day: Wednesday to Saturday per Only Melbourne’s undated listing, which gives hours for those four days only.
Eaton Mall and the Oakleigh traders precinct — Eaton Mall (shops also on Atherton Road, Portman Street, Station Street, Chester Street), Oakleigh VIC 3166
This is a shopping strip, not a single business and not a market, so there are no stall hours to quote. The Oakleigh Traders directory describes Oakleigh as “Melbourne’s Greek Hub”, with Greek food, fashion and services plus other traders and cultures. Its listings place shops on Eaton Mall, and the heading above shows the other streets the precinct reaches. Hours differ shop by shop, and we have none for the strip.
The move: treat Eaton Mall as the shopping leg after the market, and check each shop’s own hours.
Lai Bakery & Cafe — 13 Portman St, Oakleigh VIC 3166
On Oakleigh Traders, Lai is written up as a “Vietnamese bakery in Oakleigh offering fresh bread baked daily, delicious Bánh mì rolls”. A listing page for it on the edan.io platform gives the location as “in Alexanders Fruit Oakleigh Market” and lists hours of Monday to Friday 10 am–6 pm, Saturday 10 am–4 pm, and Sunday closed. We found no sign that the bakery wrote that page itself. We could not read prices for it.
What it is: a banh mi is a bread roll filled with meat, pickled vegetables and herbs, and Oakleigh Traders says the bakery sells banh mi rolls.
Olympia — Level 1, 12-18 Chester Street (enter via 17 Portman Street), Oakleigh VIC 3166
Olympia’s own site gives the address as Level 1, 12-18 Chester Street, entering via 17 Portman Street. The Oakleigh Traders listing says 19 Portman St, so go by the own-site wording. Oakleigh Traders says the space “transforms into the captivating Olympia rooftop bar.” We found no opening hours on Olympia’s site, where bookings go through a third-party widget. The menu footer prints weekend and public-holiday surcharges, so the prices below may not be what you pay on those days. The linked menu PDF’s file name suggests it is not new, so prices may have moved.
On the menu (copied from cdn.prod.website-files.com on 3 October 2026):
- Pomme Frites w. Secret Kalamata Seasoning + Aioli: $14
- Mixed Marinated Olives: $10
- Marinated Pork Skewers, Chimichurri Dressing (2 pcs): $22
- Soutzoukakia - Greek Meatballs (4 pcs): $27
The move: Olympia’s menu lists Mixed Marinated Olives at $10, the cheapest item in the list above.
Little Korea — 33 Atherton Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166
On the Oakleigh Traders listing, Little Korea appears as a Korean supermarket selling fresh produce, cooking products and more. OpenStreetMap tags it as a convenience shop. Those are the only two sources we have for it, and neither gave us hours or prices.
Cash or card: neither source we read says.
