THE Parnell Markets at Buono Parnell
Parnell Quarters’ newest weekend market has opened. Auckland’s best Italian-style delicatessen Buono has launched The Parnell Markets with Buono Parnell.
THE Parnell Markets
Back in late 2021 the beloved La Cigale weekend farmers market closed down due to the closure of the La Cigale café, after the café went through a tough time with the COVID restrictions.
The owners of the café had been running the market for 24 years, each Saturday and Sunday in Parnell, and it was inspired by similar farmers markets all across France. The markets were seen as an intrinsic part of Auckland’s foodie scene and their closure was a real blow to what had become a great institution.
After opening the doors to their Italian deli in late September of 2022, the team at Buono decided that Parnell, and Auckland at large, needed a place for foodies to come and enjoy the spoils of some of the best local producers.
This is why they decided to launch the Parnell Markets and this brand-new site to go along with it! To hopefully fill the hole in everyone’s tummies that was left by La Cigale’s unfortunate closure.

Amazing food and friendly staff. Eggs on toast is next level.

Great market and dog friendly. Nice cafe seating area to enjoy the delicious looking paninis and a coffee. I miss having Italian grocers close to home like we had in Los Angeles. The weekend farmers market had a nice selection. A good selection of Italian, Spanish and some Croatian specialties. They are still getting their stock in from AU. I look forward to coming back to check out their new arrivals.

Fantastic Italian shop and restaurant. I have been here twice. It has authentic Italian food and groceries. The staff are warm, friendly and very helpful. Go and get a warm fig scone and a Prosecco! Also their risotto is delicious!

Launch the Parnell Markets
This is why they decided to launch the Parnell Markets and this brand-new site to go along with it! To hopefully fill the hole in everyone’s tummies that was left by La Cigale’s unfortunate closure.
This brand-new site has everything that you need to know about the Gastro Markets, such as who the stallholders are, our operating hours, and any other key information as the market grows. But in case this is your first time here, here are a few need-to-know details about the Market.
The Parnell Markets kicked off on Saturday October 1st and will run from 8am to 1:00pm each Saturday down on Saint Georges Bay Road in Parnell.
The Market is located just outside of Buono’s flagship deli store, with Buono stocking some of their own Italian delights, as well as providing a wide range of fresh produce and foods from local artisan producers.
