Markthalle / Café am Markt Review

Great place to eat, many, many different cuisines available, Indian, Argentinian steaks, Lebanese, Israeli. Some very nice bio / organic shops also, you can buy raw milk, quality free range eggs, meat. cheese, vegetables, etc. Highly recommended!

Very nice food court. Including bars. Also for families.

Eclectic collection of excellent street food vendors, and the Bier Rivier is not to be missed! The collection of beer on tap is unbeatable in Basel!!

Lousy acoustics and very expensive (by German standards)

Great place to eat although they ve screwed things up the way they ve rearranged the units. Makes it really difficult to get an overview of what s available. Klara set out much better

Something fine is offered for every taste. Fair prices. Good mood

Culinary versatile, there is something for everyone.

Dishes of various origin from stalls under a large dome roof. Argentinian, Ethiopian, Afghani, Caribbean, Greek, Japanese, Kurdish, Hungarian, Thai, Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese... to fish & chips to burgers (inc. vegetarian)

Nice atmosphere .... found Italian honey at a good price ... so many cuisines

Nice place, we were eating in one of the indoor restaurants and they ate well

Great food from all around the world. The place can be smoky and smelly.

Lousy acoustics and very expensive (by German standards)

Very interesting. All sorry of food and drink. International.

Wide array of food choice. Well prepared and presented dishes. A touch too pricey.

Street food at the price of a restaurant (16 euros for some potatoes with battered fish) we entered and there were few open places, just as it was.

Everything the culinary heart desires in an uncomplicated atmosphere. Ingenious craft beer selection in the beer district.

Exzellent, relatively cheap and diverse food court with nice seatings inside and outside. A locals favorite

+ Lots of variety to choose from and price is alright!
- Noisy and smelly place

Very nice, architectural location, similar to street food. You have a great selection of food stalls. The variations range from oriental, creole, Asian and Indian to Argentinian cuisine (and much more). There are also various small shops with a huge selection of beers, their own ice cream or an organic supermarket and of course a great barista with original Basel coffee. Open late until 10, some even longer. Some stalls sell their rest late at night at very attractive prices. It's worth a visit either way.

Great choice of meals, reasonable prices (for Switzerland)

The food stalls are not very exciting or cheap. Aruni Thai is good and eisur offers fantastic ice creams and sorbets and tea. The cocktail bar has pretty good mixed drinks and if you like to try different beers you can get a wide assortment at the beer bar, though you can also go across the street and buy from beers of the world in the train station for much less. The Lebanese restaurant is tasty as well.

A lot of different foods like burgers to Asian food also have good ice cream

Great area to sit while free to choose any foodstall around. Great for informal bites with friends

cool place to meet, eat, shop! very crowded at noon and loud.

Is always a pleasure the incredible variety and nice people there. Greetings to the pizza stand was super

It's a great concept.
There are many culinary experiences to be had

Very good authentic international cuisine. It has something for every taste. Although even for Switzerland the prices are rather high for food stalls (usually between 15 and 20 CHF for a lunch without drinks)

Love their Saturday dinner "Streetfood Market" where you can get yummy portions for 5 CHF.

Great place to eat whether at lunchtime or in the evening, also very suitable with children, as well as varied, changing events.

Good variety of food to choose from, reasonable prices and plenty of seats.

Very good, a lot of type of cuisine offered through a multitude of small restaurants. I love

Several times a year, there are night flea markets. We also wanted to take a look at this. There were many clothes and other smaller things on offer. There was nothing for us what we liked and we absolutely had to have it. Anyone who is hungry will definitely find something to eat there. Divere special dishes caught my eye.

Great selection of food, nice bars. It s so big that it lacks atmosphere sometimes.

Huuuu ... it may be the insider tip for one or the other, but I didn't find it to be spectacular here. I found it loud and crowded here.

Already clear, but it smells too much of mixed food

Many different nationalities. Various dishes. Always discover new things.

Excellent food and environment. Recommended hangout for anyone that arrives to Basel

Nice and casual, a big choice for food, with different bars inside and lots of sitting space.

Great experience. The various food stands are very interesting ... Attracts quite trendy crowd. Is also a "place to be."

A great selection of food, a cool bar and a super ambiance.

Lots of different stalls with food from all over the world. A bit loud with reverb, so not for people who are sensitive to that. I would recommend Klara. Different acoustics with a little less choice but the same concept.
Very suitable for families, with a slide for the kids.

Absolute horror for concerts! Unfortunately, the organization and sound quality offered leave much to be desired. I have been looking forward to the Patent Ochsner concert for months. The tickets have long been in the bag. When we arrived at the event, we actually had to queue up to exchange the barcode tickets for a cardboard card in business card format. This was then stamped. That in itself is ... don't know ... no words. When we arrived in the hall, the notes rolled over and even when Manilo was singing, it was just porridge ... hard to bear. We ran away during the break because the tone was really the worst thing I've ever heard. When we said goodbye to the security people, it said, but you won't be able to come in ... We didn't want to either. Too bad. 150 sticks in the sand and a nice Christmas stage :-( Never again!

Fine food but rather expensive much the same as the paper island in Copenhagen

Food hall as seen in many countries. Numerous international cuisine stands. Take out only due to the pandemic. The prices are quite high. This is normal, we are in Switzerland.

Diverse selection of delicious food. Health food store. Candle drawing. Slide. Everything in the dry. So great.

Super concept well implemented. Something for everyone.

Markthalle is always fun, and tonight was Irish music in the Wohnzimmer

A good place to sit and eat while waiting for my bus, it was raining outside and I had an hour to wait.

I like this place due to it's multiculti offers and food - fresh, authentic, great place to meet friends for lunch; international food offers (also Vegan stands)

At lunch and from Thursday evening to Sunday good selection of food stalls and some bars. On Sunday there is a Sunday brunch, which is particularly suitable as a large group and with children.

Many occasions to go there: digitec pickups, fresh fruits and vegetables, a drink after work, a brocki during the weekends... It can be very lively at lunch. Don't forget to check the event calendar for the full list of places and activities!

Very exotic and interesting place right in the heart of Basel. Must visit!

Lunchtime busy. Many small stalls with good food, also to take away. Average price range for takeaway. Part events on special occasions. Central location.

Not my thing ... too much pseudo eco, too much pseudo multi-cultural ... Homemade is not always better! But who likes it. , .. and who doesn't mind the horrendous prices ... I won't take a seat away from anyone ...

many small stalls I eat partly very good multi kulti.
