5th Street Public Market - Eugene

The market has seen a decline over the past few years. The food court isn't as appealing as it once was, and the dishes I've tried haven't been impressive. There are fewer shops available now. While there are a few good ones, overall, it needs some improvement. Mindy's is a solid option, and Elephant Trunk and Provisions consistently deliver great meals. Rhythm and Bloom and a few others also stand out. Marche offers tasty food and a lovely brunch on the weekends, although their menu has limited choices.

The parking situation at this restaurant is quite challenging. The lot is small, and it seems many drivers struggle to park properly, which makes it even harder for everyone to fit into the limited spaces available. During our visit, we parked next to a car that was poorly parked, leaving us crooked as well and raising the risk of scratches on our car doors. Additionally, I found the shops around the restaurant to be overpriced and not particularly impressive. Overall, I would recommend finding alternative parking and opting to shop or dine on the main streets instead.

One of the best markets in the US! We were only in town for a day, but we were thrilled to have the opportunity to experience this market. The vendors, food, music, and the wonderful community atmosphere were all fantastic throughout the day. Be sure to check it out when you're in Eugene!

Beautiful at night. The ambiance of white lights, pretty flowers and plants are throughout the market. Just an all around nice place to sit outside with a glass of wine and take in what Eugene has to offer. A truly unique atmosphere.

Confusing place, food wasn't all that great either. Our drinks were decent at least, but that's was it. Not my kind of spot.
