The Foodhallen is all about taste, diversity and quality. Here you will not see standard eateries, but passionate chefs who lovingly cook for a diverse audience. Students, couples, tourists and local residents, all shuffle up to the long wooden tables, share dishes, laugh and taste.
At Shirkan, the smell of Indian spices entices you into a naan wrap filled with a succulent butter chicken. After a few bites, move on to the next stall. At Dim Sum Thing, you order handmade dumplings - soft, perfectly steamed with a filling that melts in your mouth. Then another taco at Taqueria Lima and for dessert a French petit gâteau. And just like that, a little later, you're chatting with a stranger over an espresso.
What makes the Foodhallen so special is that it is more than just food. While you gorge on your lunch, stroll through De Hallen Passage, where small boutiques sell art, design and vintage. You glance into a gallery, consider catching a film at De FilmHallen, and then walk past a street musician singing on an old guitar as if on a stage at Carré.
The industrial atmosphere of the old tram depot, with its iron rafters, brick walls and high ceilings, gives the place character. You get the feeling as if you are part of a living story in which food. Culture and people find each other.
You can perfectly combine your visit to the Foodhallen with other places in the area. The Vondelpark is within easy reach for a lovely walk in nature. Or take the bike to the Museumplein, where the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum welcome you with world-class art. In the evening, you might want to watch a show at the DeLaMar Theatre or have a drink on the roof terrace overlooking the city.
