Where To Eat & Drink Before A Columbus Crew Game - Columbus - The Infatuation

"If you’re trying to satisfy a huge, hungry, and indecisive group (lucky you!), come to North Market, which is just a 20-minute walk to the stadium. They have more than 25 vendors, so you can get tonkatsu ramen at Satori Ramen Bar, Tibetan dumplings at Momo Ghar, or Hot Chicken Takeover’s near-perfect fried chicken. You cannot leave without a waffle cone from the original Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream scoop shop, too. The Barrel & Bottle is also a great pregame spot where you can sip some local craft beer or glass of wine. Plus, you won’t have to wait in the unwieldy beer line at Lower.com Field." - erin edwards

The 18 Best Restaurants In Columbus, Ohio 2024

"This crowded public market is home to at least 30 independently-owned food counters, which makes it a great place to eat and shop with a group. While your friend wanders off for a slice of pizza or giant Bavarian pretzel, you can get in line for Himalayan dumplings at Momo Ghar or a Somali spread from Hoyo’s Kitchen. Reconvene at a table outside or upstairs, then end your meal with cones of Brambleberry Crisp or Salty Caramel at the original Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream. Before you leave, you might as well stock up on locally made olive oil, coffee beans, a few Ohio cheeses and artisan fruit preserves from Black Radish Creamery, or a bag of cinnamon pecans from the American Nut Company. The downtown location has been around for nearly 150 years, and is an easy walk from the convention center." - erin edwards, kindra peach

What a fantastic place! So much good food! A lovely jewelry vendor, flowers, oils, cheese! Was our first time visiting and we will be back. Nice and close parking garage. Be sure to get your receipt for parking garage from the vendor you buy from. This is good for one hour of parking. Highly recommend North Market for a bite to eat and some local shopping.

Great foodie fun stop. Shocker on this visit was the Philly Cheese Steak and Buckeye Crepe plus strawberry. The barbecue and dumplings were solid runners up. If you're bargain hunting get some fresh fries at the cheese steak shop and a slice of pizza. - otherwise prepare to spend $15-$20 Puerto item. The good is grood, but the swipes add up quickly. If you're patient you can find street parking within a block or two for cheap vs garage parking at special event prices.

They validate parking if you park in the vine street garage. The vendors are all amazing and friendly. We purchased sour dough bread and fresh made ravioli filled with braised beef and ricotta. Definitely something for everyone to enjoy. I'll be trying the ramen on my next trip.

The culinary delight called "North Market" in downtown Columbus, Ohio is any Foodie's "Dream Come True." It is an indoor venue with one large open space. There are approximately 25 independent culinary, bakery, retail spices, ice cream and coffee vendors, each with their own kitchen/prepare area. The 2nd floor offers plenty of tables and seating. The selections are for both the worldly and local palette. It seemed suprisingly clean as well (in a city, lots of food vendors and customers.) I visited with my 2 best friends who are themselves masters in the kitchen and we were all pleased. They chose lobster rolls and thoroughly enjoyed them. I chose "Holy Crepes!" to venture off of my regularly predictable cuisine path. "Holy Crepes!" offers both sweet dessert-ish and savory meal options. I selected the "Smoked Salmon with vegetables and a special sauce." It was absolutely divine! The 1 young man that took my order was personable, helpful and very low key. I felt no pressure to rush, decide and pay. He also offered me information about their menu items while I was perusing their menu. The 2nd young man that prepared my crepe was a master to watch; he used a series of circular heating surfaces (cooking several at once) and a unique tool to spread and move the batter constantly, eventually creating a circular crepe from its original batter, liquid form. The precise thickness was exquisite. It held the crepe's contents withouth falling apart. It was equally easy to eat by hand and with cutlery and was thoroughly delicious. The egg-based crepe itself was perfect in taste; it contributed to the overall experience with a light bakery, buttery taste. It didn't over- or under- power the contents. Price seemed reasonable for a city vendor-based lunch. I would glady return to both North Market and Holy Crepes!, the next time I'm in Columbus.

I agree with all the one-star reviews. I took my son to see different cultures of food. Some I was very familiar with. A lot of the stalls were closed early. All of the products are way overpriced. The pasta and Indian food were the only good quality booths, but my goodness, not worth the price. 20$ a pound for fresh pasta, and 21$ for veg indian dishes, not including the naan, wow. Find a good local restaurant in your area that is authentic, and skip this over priced, mid, mid-range food visit. I avoided the parking by going down the street and walking, or that would have been an issue as well. Spend 15 dollars on 2 German pretzels, because I spent time in Germany, no better than any frozen version you can get in a supermarket, plus extra for mustard or sauces. Pure money grab, with zero heart to most of the offerings. Will not be back. When it finally shuts down, everyone will be so sad and wonder why??

Neat market and my group enjoyed the time they had here very much. Good food. Tables were a little hard to source over lunch. I will be back.

Neat place. Lots of variety. Lines weren’t too long during lunch. Loved the upstairs seating. Would have liked napkins there too.

I have visited north market to get some dinner when I was in Columbus. I went there twice actually. They have a variety of food options to consider including Jeni’s ice cream! I got some pizza and some ice cream during one visit and enjoyed the food! Specifically the ice cream! On my next visit, I got food from Hoyo’s and it was very tasty too! There is an eating area one floor above with lots of chairs and tables. It closes at 7 PM (when I went there in August), so I had to check the timing a little carefully. It was easily accessible from my hotel by walk.

The North Market has been an existence in Columbus for years. When I first began coming here, it was located near the present site in a Quanset hut type building, but the concept was the same as most farmers market style experiences. Vendors located in stalls within the building. The same concept has been expanded upon and grown into a huge, well lighted, and diverse shopping experience. Food vendors, and other shops, dedicated to home and lifestyle experiences abound in this large, friendly environment. Fresh produce can often be found here. Satellite operations now actually exist in several leather parts of the city, but the concept is the same. On site flat lot parking is available as well as street parking, and parking in a number of garages nearby. This is a great place to come for lunch or dinner, perhaps before an event at one of the several venues in the Arena District entertainment area.

I love coming to North Market for a food adventure! The construction has made a mess of parking and walkways in general. We happened to walk over from a few blocks away, but there was snow and ice on every sidewalk - it sucked to get there tbh. Can't do anything about the massive building being build practically on top of this historic building, but that's Columbus for you. So if you don't mind walking a bit in potentially garbage weather with untended sidewalks, it's super fun to visit. Jeni's is always a treat for dessert, but so is Buckeye Donuts. The Crepes menu sounds amazing, too. We tried Satori ramen bar and it was hot and flavorful! The bakery next to Satori on the corner has amazing baked goods, too.

For a food hall/shopping hall there's a lot of character here, and quite a wide variety of restaurant choices. Not every stall is great, but most are at least average, service is generally quick as befits a food hall, and the overall vibe is a bustling and positive one. There's a spice shop, I think flowers and cards, and a few others as well-- quite a nice stop, especially so close to the convention center and downtown. It's got two levels, mostly seating (and one restaurant, a fried chicken place) on the upper level, with an expansive view of the lower level.

I loved the bustling feel without it being packed at the North Market. We sampled a couple of different items from two different merchants and everything was outstanding! For lunch, we went to Satori Ramen Bar and got gyoza, edamame, and of course ramen. Everything was hot and fresh. Right across from Satori was Littleton's Market Bakery so we got some treats to take home for later. The pistachio cream filled croissant was especially yummy!

This is an awesome food hall in downtown Columbus. I had a savory breakfast crepe and chocolate milkshake from Holy Crepes, a yummy pistachio chunk cookie from Littleton's Market Bakery, and a smooth iced mocha from Stauf's Coffee Roasters during my recent trip to Ohio, not all on the same day of course. The eateries are cool, but they're not all open during posted hours. We came at opening time on one day and only a few food stands were open during the first hour of the day. We came back another day, less than an hour before closing time, and many businesses were already closed or shutting down. It was busy in the afternoon though, a lively atmosphere, great businesses with diverse offerings, and even better service. Plus free public wifi, plenty of seating upstairs, more than you can see from below, a few outdoor tables as well. Just a wonderful vibe altogether.

When I'm in Columbus I always plan a visit to North Market. It's located off of Vine and Park Streets in downtown Columbus. There are vendors of every food option you can think of. Dumplings, Thai, bakery, Italian, cheese steak sandwiches, Mexican, Indian, donuts, German, chicken (upstairs), wine, fresh flowers..... I'm probably missing some other options but suffice to say you won't leave hungry. The building looks to be an old warehouse. Everyone of the vendors are very nice but busy! It is popping with people!

One of the neatest places in the area! I'm from Michigan- and would come back simply for this market! So many delicious vendors, it was hard to pick one! We opted for the bagel place and sat outside for breakfast, and it was amazing. But a burger and oyster bar, around the corner from a pierogi vendor? Genius! Friendly staff, updated in the inside, just a must visit!

Every time I'm in Columbus I make sure to make time to stop at the market, rain or shine I take a stroll down here. There are so many shops and vendors to choose from and everyone is so nice! There's a bakery, pretzel shop, bubble tea, coffee, bagels and breakfast crepes, cheese, bbq, pizza, ramen and so many more. It's genuinely hard to choose which shops to visit, but I promise there's something there for everyone. The upstairs is all open and full of bar seating, tables and it's great for all group sizes. It's really warm though - so don't expect to beat the heat with an AC!

Well, I'm glad to see that the North market has gotten his Mojo back! Came here for a Yelp event and got to walk around the market and check out all the booths. A lot of the vendors that I remember had left, but they've been replaced by really great companies. Aesthetic of the market have greatly improved. There's something truly here for everybody I would consider this more of a food hall now than a market. When it first opened it was truly a market. You could get fruit and vegetables flowers. There was a cookware vendor. There was a spice vendor. You know where I'm going with us Now it's essentially small little restaurants all in enough food, but it works. It really really works. Littleton has their bakery here. There's a great barbecue place here. There's a wonderful fish stand. There's Chinese, Jeni's ice cream, a florist, a cheese shop a Mexican food stand. There's pretzels. There's pizza, pasta shop, mediteranian, Hungarian, Indian, and the list goes on and on and on there's even a Hungarian stand and an Indian stand. Not hungry, just thirsty.... A coffee shop a bubble tea place and don't forget the pastry shop, which I came into visit. Oh my gosh because there's really no seating downstairs, but you can take the stairs or an elevator upstairs and there's plenty of seats. North market is really something that everybody in Columbus should experience at least once. If and when you experience it, you will wanna come back. Promise

I went to the North Market for the first time after hearing nothing but good things for many years and I have to say...I was disappointed! It's much smaller than I expected, the food I got was just okay, it's almost exclusively food - I expected more shopping . It's definitely just a food hall. I now live in Nashville and the Assembly Food Hall puts the North Market to shame. It was fine, but I don't plan to rush back any time soon.

So much amazing food all in one place! Roam around the whole thing once before ordering, so you can take a look at your options! It ranges from ramen, ice cream, pasta, Indian, bagels, to pho and so many more! After ordering you can bring your food to upstairs to seat. They have plenty of seating up there and even hooks on the wall for your coats. The bathroom is also super clean! Parking: There is a parking structure across the street. Make sure to as the food stalls for parking validation!

The North Market is a staple in the community. It's a must visit spot every time I'm in Columbus. There is such an amazing variety of food and beverages, flowers, gifts, ice cream, bakeries, the lost goes on. It's great to see the Market bustling and people supporting local businesses. The service is normally very good and the vendors are helpful.

A food lovers paradise, my main goal was to try another city in Ohio for polish food. The Columbus market is right in the heart of downtown. Two helpful hints: park in the vine st lot, due to construction, have your ticket validated by a vendor after purchase and it's $2, good through June 30 2025. The second floor has the restrooms, another restaurant and seating. The main floor has a good variety of choices and has a cool history. My selection for dinner October 18, 2024 was Huberts Polish Kitchen. Huberts Polish Kitchen had a unique offering 2 Pierogi and mielone chicken ball, resembled a meatball. This special was only $11, homemade and drink was extra. Inside midline chicken ball: chicken, sauerkraut, chunk of cheese side of sweet cabbage. Pierogi were in butter sauce, too doughy for my preference defintly filled me up. Fun short visit and worth the stop.

North Market it's more than an indoor farmer's market. A variety of dining options from around the world, handicrafts, flowers, baked goods as well as meats and produce. Sometimes it's just a great place to take a walk and unwind. That's my favourite. On four of our six visits I've purchased nothing. I just love to stroll and take everything in. My ultimate favs are Colo butcher and American nut, for I am an American nut. Jeni's splendid was a great ice cream spot for us. It had to end, no more, no more. It threw the sugar out of whack. Now we spend more time at Stauf's coffee roasters. Now there's something satisfying for the nose! Another fun thing is to venture up to the second floor where there's seating unlimited and gaze down at the businesses below. I just wish it could be bigger. 07/24

Foodie Paradise in Downtown Columbus We were in Columbus for a conference and had a chance to go out for lunch after packing up our trade show booth. I had walked by the North Market and had a quick look inside. Our group decided to check out the North Market and have lunch there. The Market is an eclectic mix of many cuisines and you can try foods from local Columbus vendors. It is mostly a food market and provides food vendors and vendors selling edible items. There are many types of food to choose from and I settled on Colo Market and Oyster Bar for lunch. I had the lobster bisque that was made fresh that day and one of their sandwich specials, the Blackened Fish Sandwich. The sandwich was packed with flavour the fish was fresh and not greasy at all. The sandwich special came with a side of fresh-cut fries. Our group also ordered two dozen oysters. An overall great experience at the market and we all left with souvenirs to take home.

I miss working in downtown Indianapolis and visiting City Market, and North Market really has the same vibes. So, so many different options for fast food or packaged food -- different styles and countries of origin, full meals, snacks, whatever you want is probably in here. And since it's all in one area, there's nothing stopping you from having a Somali entree with a bagel or donut on the side. Parking was a little tricky with the construction, but signage was clear -- they were doing the best they could! Ample seating upstairs (although it wasn't busy yet when we came earlier in the day) and clean throughout. If you're in the area, this is absolutely worth stopping in for if you need a bite!

We drove an hour and 30 to Columbus and the first thing we stopped for was food. He never been to a "food hall/farmers market " type of place before so we stopped here first. It was so cute inside and had a variety of restaurants from a variety of different places around the world. They also had a couple stores and a wine bar. I ended up getting Marlows Cheesesteak and he got barrel and boar bbq. If I'm not mistaken I built my own cheesesteak with steak Swiss and provolone? (Don't quote me lol). Onions, mushrooms, sweet and hot peppers with the spicy mustard. It was so good and filling I wish they were closer. It was juicy too and they were not stingy. He got the smoked wings and I tried one it was very... dry it kind of had flavor but it was just too dry. Otherwise I did buy some hibiscus leaves from one of the merchants there. I loved the place . It's seating upstairs with the middle being open. I definitely will be back to try other places in there.

If you're looking for an opportunity to explore the depth and variety of food options in Columbus, I would recommend this as a first stop. On our visit, we were able to hit a number of stalls within the North market and every place that we visited was well worth the time we spent there on top of that it's ideally located as a meet up point to go on an adventure along High Street and check out the sites and sounds around downtown if you're looking for a quick bite at lunch or you're thinking about a place to pop in for coffee or even a quick drink all that could be found in North Market I highly recommend checking it out.

Now this is what a food hall should be! Tons of vendors packed into stalls with a wide array of unique and culturally diverse foods. The setup reminded me of some of the markets I've visited in Spain. We came in for lunch before heading to the airport and had a field day trying as much as we could. We did a loop first to see what looked good... spoiler alert, everything looks good. My buddy and I decided to combine forces and get something from a few different places to share. We decided on a sampler from Momo Ghar, some kielbasa and pierogi from Hubert's Polish Kitchen, and a mixed plate of Morrocan food from Tajine House. We didn't come close to finishing everything, but sampling as much as you can is the way to go. You could come here 50 times and have a different experience every time.

What a surprise! This place is incredible. I am no expert on the demographics of Ohio, but their variety and options surprised me. The Italian and Polish options not so much, but next thing you know you are checking out a Nepalese momo counter next to a pho stall. Hoyo's Kitchen turning out authentic Somali dishes across from the Tajine House with their Moroccan options. Add in a cheese shop, wine bar, and traditional farmers market fare, this place really is the best! I didn't have nearly enough time to really enjoy it. I got some oysters and some fancy cheese and had to boogie out. Next time I am here, I am coming earlier and bringing my coworkers.

A foodie heaven in the heart of Columbus, Ohio! Heard this was one of the food markets that are popular in Columbus, so of course had to check it out. It's filled with diverse food options that has something for everyone! A few that stood out to me was ramen, momos, artisan cheeses, flowers and so much more! They also have a second floor overlooking the entire market and was filled with lots of seating and tables for people to dine in. There's also another restaurant on the second floor so don't miss checking that out. I opted for a gyro shawarma plate from Firdous which was a 3/5. Portions were a little small and it was spicy! The staff were super nice and friendly and their store front looks so appealing! Overall the market is definitely good for the eyes and tummy to feast on with the amount of different options here. Make sure to check it out and do a full walk through of the market before you settle for what you want to eat (or eat it all!).

Great spot for lunch while at the convention center! I could have spent all afternoon here eating my way around the market. Tons of variety and reasonable prices. Plenty of seating upstairs. The market was crowded with a lot to take in, so do a lap first before deciding. We tried the Thai restaurant, great portions for the price, just order your spice level with care- "medium" had me in hot tears The bar b Que meat stand was awesome, get the brisket and Mac & cheese, you won't be disappointed.

I love this place!! One of the best food markets I've been to. So many food vendors from all different cultures--not enough space in my tummy and time to try it all! There's something for everyone (bagels, fried chicken, momos, seafood, pasta, pizza, curry, perogies, pastries, tea, juice, ice cream, and so much more!!). I ordered from a few vendors and was pleased with all of them! There is also ample seating upstairs, so you can sit and really enjoy your food and people watch. The lively ambience is contagious. North Market is a must if you're visiting Columbus!

What's not to love about North Market??! Whenever I'm in Columbus, a stop here is an absolute must. Located in the historic downtown area, North Market is bustling indoor market where you'll find a wide variety of more than 40 independently owned small businesses. Inside this 2 story building they have an abundance of specialty food items, seafood, fresh produce, flowers, meat, poultry, one of a kind gifts, and authentic international prepared foods (Hoyos kitchen is my absolute favorite!). I usually browse for a while and get my food to go but if you'd rather dine in, just head upstairs where you'll find plenty of seating or go to the outside patio for outdoor dining on a nice sunny day.

SUPER CUTE little market!!! Kinda in a sketch part of town it seems but definitely a cute little market! There's SEVERAL different cultural food options, specialty shops like coffee, bread/bakery and other types of shops to parooz and pick up some fun little things. The flower shop offers super affordable bouquets with LOTS of different types of UNIQUE flowers! I liked the jewelry stand with authentic designs from Mexico, I think it was she said. The sticker corner was super fun also! Tons and tons and tons of fun and unique stickers. We stopped in here for some coffee after staying at the AC on the adjacent corner. We all got different types of drinks, I got the the PB Mocha over ice, not blended. SO SO SO good!!! But BE CAREFUL, it has four shots of espresso in the large! Definitely worth a stop to check out all the shops and food offerings!

This place is truly awesome. There is a lot of really good food in North market.I really enjoyed the pretzels and so many other bites. The vibes and amazing smell it's just one of the many reasons you should definitely visit if you're in the area. I would come with an empty stomach so you can try lots of different things. Don't bother looking for parking because it can be difficult especially on weekends. You can park in the garage and if you buy some thing they validate your ticket so the fee will only be two dollars no matter how long you stay, or at least that's what I was told. I would definitely want to be back.

Perfect place to stop for lunch. So many good local businesses to eat and shop at. And it all smelt so good. This was a life-changing experience. It was also just very well maintained and cleaned.

Normally I love the North Market but with the construction of the hotel/parking garage those going to the market have to park in the Vine Street garage. Unfortunately signage in the garage is nonexistent. We wandered inside the garage until finding a person who was staying at the Hilton and got us outside. There was another man who asked us how to get to the market. Even once outside the construction and barricades made getting to the market a virtual obstacle course. To add insult to injury the discount voucher we got at Jeni's Splendid wouldn't scan when leaving the garage. Love the market and shops but until the construction is done it's a nightmare right now. Plus we had to circle around the garage to finally get a parking spot.

This north market is like a miniature scaled fresh food market you can find everywhere in most Europe. It has foods from various regions and countries, most of them were delicious and authentic except couple. If I stayed in Columbus long enough, I would've tried them all. We had some of the best tasting pretzels, polish stuffed cabbage, Jamaican bowl, Asian style dumplings... Every spot we visited, the services were decent. The cheese stand was especially friendly and of course we couldn't walk away without some delicious cheese, salami and cheesy lemon cake. This market can get real busy especially during weekends and meal times. Thats when the upstairs seating area comes in handy for over flow dinners. There are many parking options near this market. This is a highly recommended spot to visit in Columbus, OH by @winedinenvacay

For the "foodie-curious", North Market is a calm indoor exploration of lunch/dinner possibilities. I saw asian, polish, indian, & morrocan cuisine, & more. I was curious about Morrocan food. I got fish, couscous, & 2 veggie sides (a little less than $20). The right amount of spice & tastiness! Not to mention, a souvenir treat made locally in Columbus, Ohio!! Can't wait to splurge on this bag of Buckeye Crunch!

North Market is a food hall and public market in Columbus, Ohio that was established in 1876. We came here in the morning, and it wasn't crowded. I mainly wanted Jeni's Ice Cream, and this is where it started. We walked around a bit, but didn't try anything else.

This is such a cool and fun place. There's everything here, grocers, teas and coffees, fresh pastas and bread, Asian, fried chicken... something for everyone. I walked around twice just to make sure I saw everything.

What a fun place to visit! This market is one of the better downtown markets of this type I've been to. They addressed everything you would want as a patron - somewhere to sit and eat the food you've purchased, and accessible restrooms! There is also a great variety of shops - every type of cuisine and browse-able shops like spices, jewelry, gourmet foods, cheeses, etc. It was busy on a rainy Saturday night but not unmanageable. As a party of two we were able to find bar top seating upstairs twice.

Great place! There's always amazing food choices (I'm usually choosing between Momo Ghar and Hoyo's) plus a few non-food places like the flower store. 4 stars because of the parking situation. It used to be a paid parking lot plus meters around it, now they turned the paved lot into apartments and the nearby parking garage is about as overpriced as it gets $18/hr. Since they removed the parking lot, the meters around here are always taken.

Polish food was awful, pirogi is raw fat dough, and taste like paper. I'm not recommending this place.

Such a cute little "farmer's market" shopping area. North Market has different food eateries, a mini shopping area and sitting area to people watch if you so please or to just sit and chat with a friend or loved one.

Stopped while in Columbus, Ohio, on a Saturday afternoon. This gem of a landmark is amazing! They offer a wide variety of ethnic and American food options. Top side seating on the second floor with great views to the lower level. Every little local shop we stopped at had the most friendly staff. Very knowledgeable and helpful with our decision-making. We tried a variety of foods from Asian, to Mexican, to the hand made breads. We left with full bellies, and bags full of wine, soaps, and hand made knitted goods. Great place to shop for unique gifts.

Love the North Market. My most frequent stops are Stauffs and Super Mini but there is so much good stuff here. This trip I was looking to grab some regional sourced Honey and was able to pick that up at Super Mini. Also really recommend Saferino's. The have the best pizza and I like to grab a slice sometimes during a visit when walking around. The North Maker also has a Jeni's, Hot Chicken Takeover, Flavors of Indiana, Dos Herman's and so much more. It's fun to stop in and explore. Remember to get your parking validated with any vendor purchase. Sometimes you got to ask. Definitely recommend. Hours for quick reference: Sun - Mon: 10:00am-5pm Tues - Sat: 9am-7pm More info at https://northmarket.org *select downtown

12/2/23 update: I saw some newer restaurants here. They're doing construction so it can be a little difficult going to the back entrance from the convention center. You'll have to go in from the front.

Really great place for a bite to eat or a snack or even some souvenirs. Stopped here after flying into Columbus and before driving to Granville. Multiple restaurants of varying cuisines (Somali, Vietnamese, Japanese, Italian, Nepalese, BBQ, etc) along with two bakeries and a coffee shop. There's a small market as well that had great produce as well as farm-made buckeyes. And there was an impressive spice stall where the Sazon mix has won awards! Outside seating is available and there was a very talented musician playing music.

So many choices and so little time. Grab a meal, grab a snack, grab a coffee or bottle of wine. Even groceries. Butcher a baker and I am sure a candle maker somewhere. Each vendor offers a different level of service. The atmosphere is just chill and fun. A great place to hang out with family and friends. There is something for everyone.
