On our last day in Frankfurt, we had a little time to kill before happy hour at our hotel. Kleinmarkthalle, the largest food market in Frankfurt, was a short walk away. It's a little tough to tell where the entrance is, but we eventually figured it out. Once you walk into this indoor food market, you'll see a whole host of vendors selling pretty much everything under the sun. You'll see produce (fruits and vegetables), nuts, sweets, and much more. You'll also find hot food including German sausage, pizza, and more. If you come hungry, you're not going to be able to resist having some food and buying more than you should while you're there. It's kind of like going to a grocery store hungry. The food hall is on two levels. You'll find friendly vendors. Some offer free samples. I only bought a German sausage and some bread from two lovely German grandmothers. They were smiling, asked me questions about myself, and were a joy. What a cute pair! And the sausage was quite tasty (they have five or so for you to choose from). The prices seem reasonable across the board, even though I didn't buy much. read more

As is similar with many large European cities, visiting a large food hall with multiple vendors is a must do. Klein Markt Halle is a large pre-war building which is packed to the brim with food vendors and visitors. It's more touristy than I would like and a bit more crowded as well. There is a decent selection of small cafes along with walk up style vendors and prices are a bit high - but it is touristy. There's not enough communal places to sit and eat so unless the weather is nice outside you might have a challenge finding a spot. read more

Kleinmarkthalle in Frankfurt is a historical marketplace that has been a culinary hub for over a century. Originally from 1879, the market has weathered numerous changes, including significant reconstruction after World War II. Today, it stands as evidence that Frankfurt is dedicated to its culinary culture. The market is bustling and packed with over 60 stalls from fresh produce, gourmet cheeses to fish... you name it. During our visit, we dined at the Spanish tapas restaurant within the market. The queso fresco was rich and creamy and the spicy patatas bravas were a treat. I can't get over the garlic oil shrimp. I couldn't stop dipping and chowing on the oil and flavor soaked bread. I love me a market!!! read more

Fun spot with a huge selection of prepared foods. Great place to browse and try different things. We weee a group of four so we got to try quite a variety. I had the sausage plate at 'Hoos'? Not sure if that was the name of the place but that's what the sign said. It was good. read more

I stumbled upon this food market while searching for the "best sausage" in Frankfurt. That's how I discovered Schreiber's Wurst, located inside the market. They offer a small selection of sausages (three/four wurst on the menu) and they were pretty good. It seems like they've been around for quite some time. The market itself is bustling with tons of vendors selling everything from fresh produce and raw meats to bubble tea. read more

A spot for Instagram picture and enjoy the experience. The food was not cheap, but interesting to see how local shop. They offer place to sit and eat at the 2nd floor and cash only. Don't expect any service in those type of market. English is fine, if not, then use your Google translator. read more

The markethalle was smaller than I thought it would be. There's restaurants upstairs also. Quite a bit of stuff to find here. This is a good spot to get a small exposure to the local foods. It is small and can be very tight during the lunch rush. read more

I love this place and have been here many time and finally decided I needed to let others know. Time to stop being selfish and let others in on the secret. This is an indoor market inside of an old warehouse. There are many different stalls filled with many different things. Everything from plants to butchers. There's a chocolate shop in here that is my favorite (and my wife's when I bring her chocolate). I come here for coffee also. Upstairs there are several wine stalls also, with a usual decent crowd in attendance. I would implore any Yelper out there to try this place out. You won't regret it I promise you! read more

Absolutely incredible. A feist to the eyes. Thinking of preparing a special meal at home. Then come here. Thinking of getting some cheese, wine, and meats for a Picnic, then come here. If it's raining outside, then come here as it's indoors. Bon appetite. read more

Super cool small market hall that sells international fruits and veggies, food, ready to made food, smoothies, and fresh flowers

On a Saturday at lunch time, the Kleinmarkthalle was packed. Wall to wall and that's a good thing. Where there are people, there's going to be great food. Florists, fresh butcher, fresh vegetables, fresh fish and seafood, jams and juices, wines and beers. Cooked foods of all types. Loaded with stalls and with queues at the best of them. There are some counters inside where you can lay out your food to eat and there are some tables outside with a lot more room to enjoy. I only had thirty minutes (it was our walking tour's lunch break) so I made the most of it with a sausage from Schrieber that was an 18 minute long queue. Some take plastic, most only take cash so be prepared. I did not see an ATM but there probably is one here somewhere. Some vendors speak enough English, some probably do not. You can always get by with the usual point and grunt. read more

Outstanding. I love this place. Great veg, cheeses, wine, meats, flowers etc. I always take friends here when visiting the area or new to Frankfurt. It is more expensive than other places but the quality and diverse range of products that you can find here is wonderful. Sipping a coffee or a glass of wine here is a beautiful experience. read more

This market is outstanding. Spoiler alert: there is a high likelihood that you get lost and be overwhelmed the first time you visit, but my goodness the variety is outstanding and exhaustive. There are fish stands, meat stands, olive stands, bread stands, pasta stands, cheese stands, wine stands, flowers etc. Majority of the stands offered free samples - there are many slices of salami and olive bits to be eaten before making a purchase decision. The place was packed, but was fun for people watching as well. I came on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and there were also tents set up outside serving food/wine. As if the market inside was not big enough! What a wonderful place. A carnivale of sights, sounds and smells. read more

So I might have had too high of expectations. From the pictures I saw I thought it was bigger and I envisioned it as a Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington, USA. Still it was a cool find in the heart of Frankfurt. We enjoyed walking through the market & looking at the beautiful fruit & vegetable displays. The aroma of smoked sausages as we walked through was delicious. My friend bought an assortment of spices from an awesome stand that provides lots of samples & free cups of tea. They threw in a free bonus package. We both bought fresh fruit cups to take to go for the next mornings breakfast. Will go again. read more

There are two parts to Kleinmarkthalle, a true produce and food market and a semi-outdoor space where there are several stalls to get alcoholic beverages and snacks. We came here because I like checking out local markets. And as we browsed we decided to buy some snacks (prosciutto, olives, fruits) and have a spontaneous picnic. We got some lillet spritz and sat down at the square nearby. Perfect weekend morning! read more

I am so in love with this market. This is a must see when you are in Frankfurt, Germany. It's a beautiful market full of beautiful vendors. The vendors range from cured meat to flower arrangements to seafood to nuts and veggies. The list goes on and on really. This is a perfect spot to get a glass of wine and take a breather from site-seeing all day. There are seats where you can sit if you buy something. You can eat, drink and explore all in one large building. Again, take advantage of this wonderful landmark. Take some time to explore the market! read more

LOVED IT! It's very small but OMG so many vendors and stalls! Didn't have time to really do anything but look. Next time though I'm totally setting aside time and eating, hopefully I'll have an Air BnB and I'll be able to shop and cook as well! Loved all the fresh produce and the Butchers read more

Hiding in plain sight, this indoor market is a pleasant surprise. Tucked away between the Zeil shopping district and the Dom/Römer tourist area, the Kleinmarkthalle is a fun place to visit. It never seems to be overcrowded with tourists, but is always full just the same. The market is mainly meats and produce (but also some flowers and such) so it's a nice change up for lunch. Top Three Highlights: 1.) Centrally located in the "downtown" area 2.) Several butcher stands to choose from 3.) Not subject to weather like some of Frankfurt's other markets read more

Kleinmarkthalle - Public Markets Near Me - Frankfurt, HE

So Kleinmarkthalle would be a 5/5 if I could afford to shop there. But yea.... I have been going to Kleinmarkthalle for years but never really took to going there to actually buy anything until maybe like 1.5 years ago. I only go there on weekdays typically as weekends are packed and I get very anxious being too closely surrounded by others. Kleinmarkthalle literally has anything you could ever wish for. Spices, several butchers, bakers, fromageries galore, florists, produce, coffee... you name it, you can find it here. So what is the problem? The freaking prices. Holy hell. So I went in here on a mission for serrano peppers, poblano peppers, cherimoyas, fresh oregano, and watercress one day... I came out with only the poblano because I couldn't afford anything else. One poblano pepper = 3,50 Euros. What the hell!??! Now I know this is an imported good, but geeeeeeez. I haven't seen serranos here ever, on the other hand, despite try to track them down one day. Despite prices, every time I see a tomatillo, I contemplate spending at least a fiver to buy one. But I resist temptation. The spices here are insanely expensive too. But they have them all! Looking for ras el hanout? Got it. Looking for achiote? Got it. Looking for Murray River salt? Got it too... just expect to pay an arm and a leg for them. One place I find semi-affordable is the Mexican stall. They sell La Costena products, mole sauce, tostadas, masa harina, etc. The price points are not cheap, but not as bad if compared to the price point for the rest of the stalls. Sometimes there is a man working behind the counter and he loves a good chat. But sometimes you will have no one there to assist and will have to check out behind at the Asian stall. No worries either way- but the guy working there is incredibly nice and helpful so it is nice to see him there. Despite coming out empty handed nearly every visit, I always take the time to visit the market when in this area of the city. I love exploring and seeing all the products I miss from my travels around the world... and even the slight harassing to buy or try things makes me feel like I'm in another part of the world, even if just for a few minutes. I highly recommend Kleinmarkthalle to visitors to Frankfurt and even the locals living here. Just because I can't afford to constantly shop here doesn't mean others can't... it is a great piece of Frankfurt and something I am proud to show tourists when they come to the city. read more

The "small market hall" which means as much as the "retail market hall" or "retail farmers' market" is an old Frankfurt institution. If you need strange meats, exotic fruits, or just plain old local produce, this is the place. Interspersed are stands with ethnic gourmet items or even eating establishments like a tapas bar. This is definitely a place to check out even as a tourist. read more

What´s not to like about this place.You can get everything you want right here.You can buy persian, turkish, latino and of course german things here.Though certain things will cost a bit more you will get great quality meats,vegetables, spices etc. Oh and make sure to stop by Schreiber´s and have a traditional Rindswurst or any other sausage they serve.Everything tastes just great! read more

If I could afford it, I would shop here every day. The produce is of an outstanding quality and the tradesmen are often very knowledgeable about their wares. The large poultry stall for instance was able to give me expert advice when cooking goose for the first time at Christmas, the butchers on the opposite side, underneath the upper level were patient and helpful as I tried to get the right cut of pork to cook my own ham and a friendly costermonger remembered my name on only my second visit there. Just about the perfect shopping experience. In addition there are also some excellent prepared food stalls where you can stop for a bite to eat (on the upper level the fishmongers does some great options, or the spanish tapas place in the NW corner does totally yummy empanadillas made fresh at the stall). read more

I am a fan of it ' it but it is expensive... Not al products are first class but here you get a mix add products from all countries and some off the bistros are very very good. I love the pasta at the first floor with fresh fish ;-) and I always buy Kaktus here for my Mexican recipes. See you soon. read more

Must visit place in Frankfurt. Of course market is cool, unique and expensiveeeeee ($$$$) for everyday shopping. But if u are visiting or just need some unique ingredients come here (salted cod, oils, cheeses, nuts). The outdoor wine terrace is awesome and always end up talking w table next to you. read more

Kleinmarkthalle - Public Markets Near Me - Frankfurt, HE

This is a nice market hall, small but well organized and pleasant to walk through. There is a good selection of fresh fruits and exotic nuts from the middle east. Meat stalls carry an okay selection, no fresh seafood. Why only 3 stars, because there is a wonderful "european style" market hall in my home town of Toronto, I have a pretty high expectation when I visit a place in Europe. read more

A "Frankfurter Original"! The place to go shopping for vegetables, fruits (local and exotic), meat, cheese, spicery and flowers. read more

I love this place. Start hungry on 1.OG with a big plate of Spaghetti frutti di Mare, go to next door for some wine and olive oil selection, a cup of coffee downstairs, then you can buy anything you want in the market, there is also a live fishing stand in UG that has seasonal catches. By the way there is a Wurst stand on EG that is always lining up, must be good. read more

My favorite place to come here for fresh fruits, veggies, meat, spice, etc. Love this place so much since everything is so fresh! Super busy on Saturdays though but if you go during the week it is less crowded. The people are friendly and attentive. Cash ONLY. There are also little tapas restaurants or cafes where you can grab food or a drink. You can enjoy shopping and then sit down & drink and eat something. I always come back here. read more

Every other weekend I am still going to this place and it never gets boring. Yesterday all at the market were offering something with a Christmas Flair or better said touch. After the grocery shopping one can finish the day right with a nice glass of Riesling or any other wine. read more

Cool 2 story market worth visiting. The number of butchers and variety of sausages and cured meats is truly impressive. They also have many different ready-to-eat items and good vendor diversity. I've heard the cannibal sandwich is killer - so don't miss that. read more

I was on a walking tour and our guide brought us by. Definitely one of the highlights of my stay in Frankfurt. Seemed like a lot of locals shop here though I saw tourists too. It was heavenly, so much fresh fruit, breads, meat and food, anything you could imagine. The priced were so reasonable and I got to try a variety of German food and gluewein, a mulled Wine, which was yummy. I wish it had been open for dinner because i would have gone back. It is closed on Sundays. read more

Must see if in Frankfurt - needs smell-a-vision app - plenty of wine stops as well - buy what you want and bring over to wine bars on upper floor. Breads, brats, fruits/vegs are are beautiful. Nice Spanish tapas bar too - Italian upstairs looks and smells fantastic - or get plate of oysters upstairs too. Just can't eat it all! read more
