Part of a late-90’s Renaissance as envisioned by legendary developer Gabe Silverman, the Main Street Market transformed the western end of Main, or the eastern end of West Main, to become a magnet for all that is hip, organic, and posh about Charlottesville. A past-its-prime industrial space was transformed into a zocalo of fresh produce, seafoods, meats, baked goods, gourmet coffee, and dining. The most satisfying visits to Charlottesville include a stop at the Main Street Market for some or all of the above. It’s a pleasant place to linger or stop-and-go as you move further along Charlottesville’s modernized West Main Street, the connector between The University and The Downtown Mall.
For fine dining in and around Main Street Market, consider Orzo, Tavern & Grocery, Black Cow Chophouse, or Public Fish & Oyster.
For gourmet deli to dine-in or take-out, Feast anchors Main Street Market.
For fresh, flavorful coffee and tea, we recommend Give & Take Coffee, now in a newly renovated space.
