Market Hall Stuttgart

During your stay in Stuttgart, you should definitely visit the historic and traditional Stuttgart market hall. Here you will find a rich variety of culinary experiences and fresh, high-quality food. But that's not all. The B&B HOTELS will tell you all about celebrity chef Jörg Ilzhöfer's cooking service and the various restaurants.
In the market hall at Dorotheenstraße 4, you will also find the Merz & Benzing design world, tours and guided tours and other services such as free mushroom advice at the Ceresbrunnen fountain in the middle of the hall. Enjoy the lively and inviting atmosphere in this melting pot of flavors and cultures. Jörg Ilzhöfer is right when he describes the atmosphere: 'A few hours in the market hall are like a day's vacation.

The market hall - an institution

The Stuttgart market hall is more than just a supermarket. The building itself is an architectural jewel. It was built according to the plans of architect Prof. Martin Elsässer and inaugurated in January 1914. The elegant and historic Art Nouveau building with its reinforced concrete girder construction and glass roof is now a listed building.

For over 100 years, the market hall has been a central meeting place for locals and visitors alike, who can find a wide range of products from the region and around the world in a lively, nostalgic atmosphere. An exquisite shopping venue that is now known far beyond the borders of Stuttgart.

The market hall is divided into several areas: On the first floor is the sales area with many colorful stalls, the market hall restaurant, the Mediterranean gallery and the Spanish tapas bar. On the second floor, attractive offers for upscale home decor round off the shopping experience.
A special feature of the building is a track that runs for 25 meters from Dorotheenstraße right through the market hall and disappears into nothingness. The track system was originally used to transport wagons directly into the hall, but was never put into operation as the rapid industrial development of the last century overtook the plans.

What can you buy here?

The numerous stalls offer an impressive selection of fresh products such as fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, bread and pastries. Visitors can discover seasonal products and regional specialties from producers and traders from the region. But what really sets Markthalle Stuttgart apart is the variety of international delicacies. From Mediterranean delicacies to exotic spices and specialties from all over the world, you will find everything your gourmet heart desires here.
Swabian sausage and meat products, Italian wines and Spanish specialties are on offer at the stalls and in the stores. Hungarian, Croatian, French and Alsatian delicacies also await gourmets. Fancy a special tea, tropical fruit, freshly caught fish, spicy cheese or aromatic coffee? Or are you looking for Asian or Greek food, spirits or vegan products? Then you've come to the right place too! Depending on your preferences, you will find a wide and always suitable range here.

First-class gastronomy for a well-deserved break

Do you need a break from your shopping spree or are you coming straight to the Markthalle Stuttgart for a meal? Then treat yourself in one of the four restaurants. In the Italian restaurant Empore on the second floor, you can linger over a cappuccino or try delicious fish, meat, pasta or vegetable dishes.

Spanish delicacies are served in the tapas bar. Whether it's pile mussels or paella, here you can watch the chef prepare them and enjoy the warm breeze outside in summer.

As the name suggests, the Marktstüble focuses on regional Swabian cuisine with roast beef specialties, Maultaschen and Spätzle. And in summer, the Swabian beer garden under the large chestnut tree in the heart of Stuttgart invites you to linger until 11 pm.

The oyster bar offers a large selection of fresh fish and seafood, including tuna, wild prawns and freshly caught fish from France. With the exception of the oyster bar, all restaurants are open until 10 p.m. in the evening.
