Market Hall was a fun day out. I have honestly never been a fun of Rotterdam cause for me it lacks the charm and homely feeling of the medieval city Haarlem that I love but I have to I am starting to not compare it but enjoy Rotterdam in its own right. its lovely to be able to park take the lift upstairs and have all these exciting choices of sweets, different kitchens and people impress upon you. From Spices to cheese to exclusive hams, rich wines and just every dag food u can find it all here. I got some real old Rotterdam cheeses one aged for 24 months and the other from a year and a nice port to go with it from the same Store. Lovely old man took the time to explain to use the difference of the cheeses and what goes along with them and why Rotterdam Cheese is the real old cheese not the Old amsterdam. Ang you where rightđ I love it. Oooh i have to tell u about this Greek resturant we ended up eating at.. i cant remember its name but i think is the only one there there is an option to sit on the market level but opt to go upstairs. the view is great. staff is so sweet and welcoming and patient and man oooh man the food is amazing we took a mixed fish and meet platter to share and there was more that enough for each person. Meat was tender, shrimps and octopus where deliciously crispy. served with fries and pitta bread. Food was great and extremely affordable. And dessert!!! If u like coconuts you have got to stop by madame Coco they have coconut shavings filled with just about anything ginger and pepper, white chocolate, red velvet. it is simply sticky coconut heaven.

"A Culinary Odyssey: The Markthal Unveiled" Step into the Markthal at Rotterdam, where flavours dance, and stories simmer. This architectural marvel isn't just a market-its a symphony of senses. Imagine a colossal horseshoe shaped building, its glass facade winking at the sky. As you enter, the air thickens with anticipation, and your taste buds awaken. The Glass Cathedral: Picture this-floor to ceiling windows framing a bustling food haven. Sunlight spills across the mosaic tiled floor, illuminating stalls that beckon like old friends. The ceiling! It's a canvas of dreams, adorned with an 11,000 square meter mural named the Hoorn des Overvloeds. Every brushstrokes whispers tales of abundance, of harvests and feasts! Gastronomic Alchemy: Wander deeper, and the magic unfolds. Here, humanity and food collide. Chocolates wink from velvet lined boxes and stroopwaffles crackle under eager fingers. And the cheese stalls?! They're like treasure chests, each wheel a story waiting to he savoured. Rooftop Reverie: Ascend to the heavens, well, almost. Imagine sipping a Cappuccino while the world swirls below. The food market unfolds like a tapestry: families sharing bites, strangers bonding over Olives and chefs orchestrating symphonies of flavour! So, my fellow adventurer, lose yourself in this gastronomic wonderland. Let your senses guide you, and remember: within these walls, humanity and food become art.

Markthal in Rotterdam is an absolute must-visit! This very modern building features a gigantic arch with stunning photographic art on the roof, creating an impressive and vibrant atmosphere. Inside the arch, thereâs an incredible variety of food vendors offering a diverse range of international cuisine and street food. You can find everything from local Dutch treats to Asian, Latin American, and unique fusion dishes, making it a food loverâs paradise. In addition to the fantastic food options, thereâs also a supermarket conveniently located within the building. This makes it easy to pick up groceries or other essentials while youâre there. Parking in the building is reasonable, which is a huge plus given how busy the area can get with foot traffic. The lively and bustling environment adds to the overall experience, making it an exciting place to visit. I chose to go on a rainy day, and it was the perfect spot to explore and enjoy delicious food while staying dry. The combination of modern architecture, diverse culinary offerings, and convenient amenities make Markthal a standout destination in Rotterdam. Overall, I had a great experience at Markthal and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Whether you're a foodie, a fan of architecture, or just looking for a unique place to spend your day, Markthal has something for everyone. A close five-star review from me!

This is a great place to include on your places to visit if you are on the tourist trail in Rotterdam. Itâs very close to the Cube houses, the old harbour area and next to Blaak train station and a metro and tram route. If you want to embrace the Dutch culture you could also hire a bike and cycle there. The building itself is enormous and beautifully colourful inside. There are food and drinks from across the world; you could eat in there every day for a week and never need to repeat the meal. We ate at 2 different fish stall- generous portions and beautifully fresh fish. On the lower ground there is an Albert Hein supermarket, toilets and more. We planned to have breakfast there but it doesnât open until 10am although it is open until late evening. On Saturday morning there is a vast open air market just outside the MarktHall; also worth a visit, but allow plenty of time because it is enormous!

I was a little disappointed initially as I thought this would be more of a produce hall than an eatery destination. There are a handful of produce stalls however selling cheeses or sausage etc, and some Dutch food gifts. The rest are takeout venues, some with small seat areas. A shame I wasnât hungry to sample the many choices on offer, but I did buy from the produce stalls. Staff were very nice and friendly. A couple had âdealsâ for cruise ship guests on offer too. The ceiling is a huge draw however (excuse the pun!). One of the largest pieces of art in the world apparently. The building is like a gigantic pig shed shape, with multiple levels. Besides the market, there are many flats cladding the outside of the building, and below are a supermarket, florist and car parking for over a thousand cars apparently. Worth a wander, and walkable (40mins) from the cruise terminal.

The Markthal is a bustling hub of culinary delights, offering a vibrant mix of restaurants, Chinese cuisine, supermarkets, and food-related vendors. The lively atmosphere immerses visitors in a sensory journey, making every visit an adventure. From exotic flavors to familiar favorites, there's something to tantalize every palate. In the past restaurants would display their menu by serving plates and putting it in front. I assume no one would eat that after it was there for the whole day and it eventually ended in the bin. Food wasting! Last week I went after a long time and however it was nearly closing time I didnât see the displays. Hopefully this has stopped đ€đŒ On the otherside, whether you're exploring the diverse eateries or browsing the array of food-related items, Markthal promises a gastronomic experience like no other. Make sure to visit it once.
