After or before you visit the Cube House Museum, it is just a rather short walk over to Markthal. It is a very unique building that is like an upside down u-shape with brightly colored murals overhead of different types of colorful fruits and vegetables as well as food items that surround you while walking around this building to visit the different types of food merchants and restaurants. Quite an assortment of various eateries to choose from and many have an outdoor seating also. Definitely worth a stop over when you are visiting Rotterdam.

This is such a cool looking building from the outside, which is stuffed to the gills with food outlets on the inside. We decided on the ‘Saigon Caphe’ restaurant, mainly because you could eat in and there was plenty of space. There seemed to be few attentive waiters and so we opted to place our orders online instead. I went for the lunch special for €14.90 consisting of a (No.10) Lemongrass Chicken Curry with Rice (the best dish by far!) for my main dish and (No.22) Chicken Spring Rolls as a side. My wife had the (No.105) Grilled Chicken Salad Roll as a starter and the (No.124) Vietnamese Chicken Salad as her main dish. The total bill with drinks came to €38.60, which seemed reasonable. Although the food wasn’t particularly exciting it wasn’t too bad either in an otherwise bland uninspiring but relatively quiet environment compared to the hustle and bustle of the food court itself.

I can only advise to come to Rotterdam to visit the Markthal, because seeing for yourself you can appreciate the architectural masterpiece inside and outside. Close to metro station and train station Blaak, but also having a gigantic three level car park in the basement, of course parking is for a hourly fee. Inside are an untold number of food stalls, shops and restaurants. The Markthal was opened in 2014, but is already the number one attraction in Rotterdam

As a chef I enjoy going to the market, this is one of my favorite because of the architecture, and the variety of international shops inside to get all the spices and taste the different cuisines from around the world. It’s very unique and there is lots to see and do around the market. Next time you’re in Rotterdam check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Wowza! This marketplace is amazing! The wide variety of food and drinks offered in one place may be a bit overwhelming. I walked the first level front to back and side to side before I decided what I would try first; yes, there are escalators that take you to other levels, although the lowest levels are parking garages. I opted for an earl grey tea at one vendor, a creme Brule canoli at another, and a waffle topped with strawberries and cream at a third! There were savory places to eat lunch and dinner and coffee and tea places as well. To eat these high calorie options regularly - well, I'd ride a bike daily, too!

Visited this site and found that the public toilets were shut for some reason. There was no customer service desk to report the issue. Had to use one of the food venues instead, which charged. Apart from the toilet issue the place is worth a visit.

The building is really cool! It's both a market and a place where people live, which is pretty neat. They do a good job of taking care of the paintings of fruits and vegetables. It's a famous spot, so it's worth checking out. The market can be a bit expensive because lots of tourists go there, but that's expected. The food is okay with fair quality, so I still suggest going there. I also planned to visit the cube house and the "pencil house" nearby on the same day.

We spent a wet afternoon walking round here. Some really nice food stands. After returning in the evening we managed to bag a table in the Korean chicken place. Please note that the interior food places close earlier than the places on the perimeter.

Lots of market stalls of the world cuisine in this very cool building. So much choice with a great atmosphere. Had dinner here, Chinese curry and bought snacks from the Macaroon stall for later which were amazing. It was a great experience and worth seeing this impressive building.

With a visit to see the building alone, but the market is also more than worthy. The market hall offers an incredible array of savory and sweet dining choices, as well as gifts and tourism tchotchkes. The only negative: The small over priced restrooms in the lower level will have you missing other countries public bathrooms quickly though.
