In the heart of Vallila, the Market Hall brings together food, events and a relaxed atmosphere. In Helsinki's largest food hall you'll find international flavours, drinks and an ever changing line-up of live music and events.
The Market Hall is the Train Factory's modern food hall and event space in Vallila, Helsinki. In the halls of the historic Konepaja, over 20 restaurants and bars serve a range that runs from international street food to lunches, dinners, coffee and evening drinks.
You can drop in to the Market Hall for a quick lunch, a meal with friends, or a longer evening around events and good food. Shared lounge and dining areas make it a relaxed meeting place, where members of the same group can pick their dishes from different restaurants and still eat together.
When you're looking for a market hall in Helsinki, one option is a food hall that's more modern than a traditional market hall. At the Train Factory's Market Hall, the focus isn't on buying ingredients or groceries to take home, but on ready-made dishes, restaurants and the quality of time spent on site.
The concept resembles the food hall familiar from major cities around the world: several different restaurants operate around the same space, so diners don't have to commit to a single kitchen or restaurant. In this way the Market Hall offers a distinctive alternative to Helsinki's market halls, especially when the aim is to eat, meet others and spend time together.
A meal at the Market Hall can also be paired with a changing programme of events. The stage hosts gigs, sports nights, themed events and other timely happenings that bring the hall to life on weekdays and at weekends alike. A visit can flow naturally from a meal into the programme, or an event can be the main reason for the whole visit. It's worth checking the current programme in the events calendar before you visit.
The Market Hall works well in all kinds of situations, as the restaurants in the same hall offer options for different tastes and appetites. The whole group doesn't have to settle on one restaurant, everyone can choose their own dish and then gather around a shared table.
At the Market Hall, each restaurant operates from its own counter, but the dining and lounge areas are shared. So you can choose your food from one restaurant or combine offerings from several places during the same visit.
