Food hall with a great atmosphere and lots of varied food and beers. Prices seemed a bit below swiss averages. Had some Carbonara from Si Chef that was really good. Very lively place, highly recommended. read more

quite an amazing hotel really enjoyed our stay. Bed was comfortable very clean. It was amazing to me. They had these automatic blinds that would close to keep the sun from being in a room. read more

Great place to visit for a variety of foods at decent prices. I highly recommend this spot. Also had a few beer venders. We ate some delicious ramen but there's plenty of cuisine from around the world to choose from. Pick a stall, sit and eat and enjoying your surroundings. We were there on a Friday night and it was busy. The best part (aside from the food) was that everyone seemed to be engaged in conversation, not a smart phone to be seen. It was like we were back in time. read more

I love Markethalle. I was a bit skeptical at first but I was wrong. The variety of different ethnic food is great and the authenticity and taste are also fantastic. I tried the Taste of Jerusalem stall and the arepas stall. I really enjoyed both and in particular loved the Israeli food. The lamb was tender and flavourful and the eggplant was bursting with charred flavour. Will definitely go back to try more the next time I'm in Basel. read more

This place has a good selection of restaurants with lots of variety and plenty of choices for everyone. I was not aware that this is a kid haven so it was very loud and chaotic with children everywhere. I had to leave. I suppose if you have kids come on down. read more

During the week this place booms at lunchtime with office workers coming from nearby businesses to have their fill while sitting at the various tables that dot the open floor. Candelabras with lit candles adorn the tables and, with a touch of flair, brighten the entire scene. The food stalls offer a nice culinary selection from salads and smoothies to pasta dishes and pizza (and Flammkuchen) to SE Asian cuisine and more. There's also an organic fruit and veg stand for those interested in stocking up for home. Thursday and Sunday, if I'm not mistaken, are the 'long days' and the Markthalle is open for business until 8pm. I'm particularly fond of the bread stall that camps out near the front entryway. Not only do they bake lovely loaves that one wouldn't necessarily find elsewhere, they also bake massive brownies that are fairly close my American faves, brioche and lovely wee Gipfeli, among other treats. The other day I happened upon a fruit-oat-biscuit. It was tasty in a 'healthy' way. :) The olive bread 'sticks' are also quite tasty. The Markthalle is just a block, or so, from the main train station. It's worth your time if you're keen on a meal and a sit-down or produce and such to take-away. There are a few shops ringing the stalls and tables, so one is able to do a bit of browsing here as well. Bonus: tidy and gratis loos. read more

If you're looking for where all the hipsters go, then come here. Not only is this place a super trendy food hall, but the restaurants, well more like food stalls, here are all pretty affordable selling dishes more around 15CH as opposed to others around which can get up to 30CH on average. It's crazy how expensive food can get over here! Nonetheless, the options here are plentiful with restaurants serving cuisine from Greece to Thai to Argentina, and more! After looking at the options, my sis and I got an eggplant dish from the Turkish restaurant and a Paneer pea curry from the Indian one - forgot the names of both because I believe they were in German? Both tasted pretty great, full of flavor and seemed authentic, though TBH we may not be best at judging this. Portion sizes were good enough. The seating is spacious and free for all and the tables were tidy. They were even dressed up a bit with nice napkins and candles. Loved the decor as it felt like I was in a hipster cafe with the twinkly lights and natural aesthetics. Restrooms were clean (the cleanliness in Switzerland never ceases to amaze me!) Overall, this is a great place to grab a bite and take a break and I highly recommend it if you're near the train station or just around. read more

This place was a fun food court. Lots of different food options with a good amount of seating. Visited in the early afternoon and it was not crowded. I would imagine it gets busier in the evenings. Great place to stop if you're in a group where everyone has different food preferences. Prices were not cheap, but comparable to most take out food establishments in Basel. read more

This place is like a big dome for circus.. Spacious but it gets crowded during lunch time. Prices of food seem to be quite reasonable as the ranges are around 12-15 CHF. Portion is good!!! Comparable to US portion. Like others said, you can find just about most common ethnic dishes like thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Middle-eastern, sushi and of course Italy. Try it if you are nearby. PS: Line is very long for thai and a few Asian food around noon. so expect 45 min wait or come +/- 15 min to noon. read more
