I tried to find this market seeking a change from the very good market in Colmar and the excellent…read moremarket in St Louis, but am now looking for a way to escape the urban dump of downtown Mulhouse, either Yelp or Apple Maps has failed badly. There is no farmer's market remotely near where I am. Edit. Found the market despite Apple Maps best efforts. It is excellent, huge with the best of Alsace for sale. Worth the effort but use a paper map.

Walking through the amazingly charming village of Eguisheim we spotted this small shop. The owner…read moregave away free samples for interested customers. Saucisson, fromage, salami. Sounds all great to me. So we took some samples. ....and we were thrilled! Especially the unique kinds of Salami got our attention. Regular pork, boar, duck, blueberry! All kinds of meats and spices. Really very special. These are not mass-produced discount products. These are really innovative, tasty products. Bought four pieces of Salami: Boar, Duck, Blueberry and Truffle. Especially the duck and the blueberry were exeptional. Prices are fair, owner is very friendly and helpful. Products of high quality. A great find. We'll be back. Definitely.

France is famous for its covered markets and they exist in many cities around the country. This one…read moreis a fine example of a French covered market with tons of shops for fresh produce, meats, fish and hundreds of other edible items. It's buzzing during the day and lots of locals come by to buy their daily produce and meats. There are a few cheese mongers here as well that sell hundreds of yummy cheese. The creme fraiche here is to die for ;-) The seafood shops looked amazing with lots of great fresh seafood on offer. The meat shops had so much stuff I wanted to try but could not speak enough to ask questions ;-)) I would go here everyday if I could :-)

A fantastic street market that surrounds the Freiburger Münster church and offers everything from…read moresausages and cheese to flowers and neuer süsser, a carbonated wine that tastes like a fizzy glass of grape juice. I was there around noon on a Thursday, so I don't know if the market is a daily or weekly event, but it does seem to be packed up and moved out by 3pm.

So lovely to walk around the Munster and enjoy the towering cathedral and the beautiful buildings…read morein this cobblestoned plaza. The vendors are terrific - there are hand-crafted toys, brushes, soap, herbs, olives, flowers...also several food vendors. Currywurst is a must-have! Then settle down at one of the beer gardens and enjoy a cold local brew.

Every day (except Sunday), Freiburg has a fabulous open-air market in the Münsterplatz ( the plaza…read morearound the big cathedral ) The biggest and nicest market day is Saturday! You'll see local goodies like honey, cheeses, breads & baked goods. There are also flowers, fruits, veggies & food stalls everywhere the eyes looks - colorful, fresh & one of Freiburg's "must-indulge" attractions for sure. We didn't know about this market & had just eaten a huge breakfast at our hotel, so there was no tasty treat indulgence however, we did go crazy at a particular stall selling local honey Blue Cornflower & Rapeseed Flower honeys were ours for the taking. Also tried an Oak Tree honey that was interesting as well & had we had the luggage space, I could have gone totally crazy as she had all kinds of honey products like soaps & candles in addition to outrageously scrumptious raw honey Farmers' stalls are piled high with fresh produce and the cheese stalls were too tempting w/ their local yet diverse selections. Food stalls see tourists & locals alike, lining up to buy meaty, grilled sausages or freshly baked rolls & sweet buns. My best advice to you is come early, come hungry, & bring lots of cash!

Excellent market selling local food produce & utensils at very reasonable prices. I would strongly…read morerecommend the various wurststands, other he fruit stands & also the local honey. There is also a stand for vegans here as well (though not been given that I am not vegan).

For 20-30 francs you can get international food serviced on real plates with real cutlery. Thanks…read moreto Benjamin B, my friends and I stopped in during the lunch hour to look around. The lay of the space is like a food court where you can eat with your eyes and choose your international food choice. From Asian, to Indian, to sandwiches, to gelato and more. There's a dish drop off when you're done. Washrooms are near one of the exits and there's even a change room for babies. Many thanks for fellow Yelper Benjamin B for recommending. The prices there are similar to restaurant, with no tip and no reservations required (because reservations are a must for most Swiss restaurants).

I know the Markthalle only as the food court that it is during the day. As such, I find it middling…read moreat best. Some of the food is decent, for sure. I like the German stand best, I think, located all the way in. But for the most part, it is just average at best but overpriced. Even simple Chinese food (and still the bad German style you're used to) costs about EUR6 for chicken with rice. There is almost no seating available during the lunch rush, and it can even be hard to find a standing-place at the high tables. With all the people rushing about and the limited space, it can be quite uncomfortable and not exactly a nice break from work. I'd say altogether I'd give this place 2.5 stars if I could. Before the prices went up last year, at least it would be 3 because I would go every once in a while. But I find now it's not even good enough as just a different place to go for lunch... and hence 2 stars. Not horrible, but there's no need to visit here.

I had a long layover in Zurich and decided to go and explore the city…read more My husband and I got to this market randomly when we got off the train on the main station. I was so happy because the weather was cold so an indoor market was a perfect solution. The market is really nice and you get a sense of the Swiss tradition and offerings. It offers many kinds of souvenirs, scarves and gloves, wine and food. Lots of it! I ate at the airport before so wasn't hungry and regretted it. The market seemed to have many interesting local foods and the desserts were to die for! I definitely recommend going if you happen to visit Zurich.

I've finally found a good large farmer's market in Zürich…read more The farm stands range from wow-those-beets-just-came-out-of-the-ground to Wegmanns-style Italian oranges. Each stand's rules vary --- some are very hands-on, feel-the-fruit while others are strictly ask-and-point. Quality also seems to vary a fair amount --- but prices vary less. As with most farmer's markets, cash is easiest. Besides veggies, there usually two fish trucks, a few cheese / cured meat stands, and some smaller bakery stands. There's flowers, although I still don't see how Zürich can support this many florists. Not everything I've picked up at Helvetiamarkt has worked out --- but I finally have a source for farm-fresh kale ("Federkohl").
