"Wonderful location with nice, well lit patio seating. Fantastic service and the food was amazing. Try the bone marrow and the swedish meatballs!! The mussles are also a masterpiece with a hint of spice but not too spicy!"

"The inside has a beautiful old New York style steakhouse feel, thanks to not only the warm lighting and color-scheme, but also the well dispersed sound of chattering guests. The food was presented wonderfully, and the staff could not have been more accommodating."

"This neighborhood is apparently quite happening on weekends, so we made a reservation even for a weekday luncheon and the food was solid with fresh ingredients and good service. As I often do, I chose the seafood option and in this case, the mussels with fries, and the mussels were absolutely scrumptious as they were smaller than usual which makes for more tender meat. The french fries were so so, but the meal was very enjoyable."

"It's an amazing place for apéro! We enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine at the counter (both very good) as well as some cold cuts and cheese. The service was great, and the food was delicious and freshly prepared! The bistrot decoration and marketplace atmosphere adds the final touch to make this a perfect spot. Highly recommended!"

"Back after many years at Markthalle and I am very happy about it. Very friendly staff and exceptional food. Both the bone marrow and the deer entrecôte dishes were fantastic! Moules et frites is a must try."

"Great, casual atmosphere, open space and view to the kitchen. It's a shame the weather was not better, we would of liked to sit outside. Masks and space, we waited for a table. Family orientated restaurant as there were a lot of kids around, nice to see the family out for lunch. We ordered the marktsalat, fresh and great dressing. Followed by Kalbsgeschnetzeltes an Pilzrahmsauce mit Butterrösti, which was fantastic and the Steak et Frites (Rind) cooked perfectly. Highly recommended for the great tasting fresh food and the relaxed atmosphere."
