Hietalahden kauppahalli

I love food halls and this one didnt disappoint. Got food from the Japanse shop and I loved it. Got a full bowl full of flavor and tea, coffee and water was all included, just like the chili oil to add, which was amazing. The hall itself looked nicely, too bad most shops were closed on a Sunday.

Nice food court, several interesting restaurants

After struggling as antiques market the current concept as food court seems to work okay. The quality of the food in restaurants varies quite a lot. We often go to Mama’s Pho for Vietnamese food. The place is nicest in the summer with the terrace with sea view.

Limited selection and many vendors closed out empty stalls. Perhaps this place is more lively at other times but my visit just before midsummer was a complete disappointment. Instead go to 'Old Market Hall' which has a thriving number of shops, vendors and eateries.

This market was within a 5 min walk of our Airbnb. It was such a great market to have close by. We had a few tasty meals here and several delicious coffees during our stay. Highly recommend a visit when in Helsinki.

Multiple eatery venues in one convenient location: Filipino, Japanese, portuguese, sandwiches..numerous vegetarian and.vegan options. Ideal location to have a plethora of food options varying from multiple locations across the globe. Only downsides are seating can be limited during rush hour time and most stands close early and / or over the weekend so make sure to contact early to ensure your desired eatery is serving food. Overall will return again in the near future.

Cluster of small food vendors. Not one for tourists looking for local food, it's almost exclusively pan Asian cuisine although the soup I had was more local, and delicious. Limited seating available. Cosy and photogenic atmosphere inside.

Basically a REALLY NICE eating joint with Phillippino fare, Japanese Ramen and Vietnamese Pho. Looks nice and the vibe is so relaxed. It is also close to many museums. Had Cafe Latte at Robert's Cafe and the cakes are super!

When Jamie W. and I ventured to Helsinki this past year, we had no idea where to stroll as we braced ourselves for the brisk Nordic climate. The irony is that it's genuinely easy to traverse the city center. The Yelp app plus the city's enormously efficient public transit certainly helped us to get to some interesting spots like this food hall which has a distinctly American vibe to it. Of course, my bias probably comes from being an American, but it did remind me of Chelsea Market in NYC, Pike Place Market in Seattle, and as Autumn mentioned, the Ferry Building in San Francisco. It's full of mostly culinary vendors reflecting how diverse the Finnish palate is. It wasn't crowded when we entered the hall, but you could tell the most popular spots among the locals were Street Gastro where they serve up specialty sandwiches, Stadin Herkut with their Mediterranean and Middle Eastern delicacies (photo: http://bit.ly/2kDMSTD), Robert's Coffee (photo: http://bit.ly/2jSR79e), and Fat Ramen where we ended up for lunch (review: http://bit.ly/2ldBlqC). The atmospheric hall opened in 1903, although it went through several iterations before becoming a food hall just five years ago. Definitely worth a stop.

This is Helsinki's answer to The Ferry Building in my native SF. Much like my condo location in SF, I live just near here on Bulevardi. I frequent the flea market because I'm cheap like that. I buy my produce at the Kauppahalli because I'm not cheap like that. The produce is beautiful, there is a huge array of sweets, treats, and food stalls/cafes. The cupcake lady, the Spanish delicacy stand, and the juice bar are favorites. Robert's coffee is not. But that's my bone to pick and I'll review where a review is due: on their Yelp page. I have it on good authority that Roslun makes the best burgers in town (I'm a vegetarian) and that the ramen shop is pretty good too. I can vouch for the French Cafe and the classic Finnish cafeteria in the back. They are the only place that has baby seats. That's good to know if you have a kid who needs one of those. This is the perfect place to go as a local (for the staples and some treats or a quick lunch/snack out with friends away from the city center) or tourists (it is teeming with them in the Summer). It's a go-to for friends visiting from out of town; flea market then market hall = a good 3 hours of your day knocked out in one small space. Highly recommend the fresh fruits and veggies, meats, fish, cheese, breads, pastries, and sweets. The kitschy tourist-y stuff can be good too. I really like the olive oil soaps that one of the stalls sells. Overall, I am really thankful they're here and so close to home. Because a girl can live on cucumber, tomatoes, and apples from S Market for only so long ;)

Food selection is rather poor here. A couple ramen places, Italian, burger, or expensive soup. The building is nice but the vibe is sort of dead. If you're going to visit a kauppahalli, go to Vanha or Hakaniemen instead.

We were hoping to hit the flea market, but it was closed for some street racing abomination. We stopped in and had a burger at the place at the south end. Delicious, but costly. Cows don't live in Finland apparently. We ate upstairs which was nice. Pro tip: there is a free toilet downstairs, which is super nice. Surprising decor. Check it out.

Nice place. Seems to be bit more cafes and restaurants than what is typical in Finnish market halls
