Out of all the food markets and food halls I visited while in Berlin, the Marheineke Markthalle…read morefelt the most local and authentic. The decidedly gritty vibe suits the neighborhood and the market well. The open space is jam-packed with different food booths that serve everything from Chinese food to healthy cookies to fresh seafood to local currywurst sausages. Whatever you're hungry for, you'll likely find it here. We visited on a busy Saturday afternoon when the place was packed with locals. There were some tourists of course, but this didn't feel like a destination that catered to out-of-towners. We ended up making two booth stops: the first for coffee and a freshly baked oatmeal cookie, and then for a sausage and local beer. I enjoyed my espresso and cookie, and it was a great treat to start the day. Hubby loved the currywurst stand! It is worth noting the sausage place was packed with friendly locals, all eager to strike up conversations in broken English. We even asked a nice couple which beer we should get and took their recommendation (it was delicious). Always chat up the local patrons if they are willing to talk to you. The food here looked high quality, was cheap, and had a nice assortment. Definitely worth a stop if you're interested in putting together your own foodie tour of Berlin.

It's no secret that I love me a good Farmer's Market. This one is no exception…read more There are tons and tons of things to buy; my favourite is the produce stands. Compared to local shops, the fresh fruits and vegetables are much cheaper, and sometimes even better quality. A recent trip yielded avocados, pumpkin, and arugula, and that was a show of restraint. There's so much more to be had, including meats and cheeses, snacks from food stands, practical household items, fabrics and craft-y things, clothing and jewelry, and more. Check it! The one disadvantage is the tight quarters. I'm used to markets with rows and rows and plenty of space, and this one is just along the sidewalk. The side up against the water is particularly crowded, with stalls on either side, making it a bit of an annoyance to walk through all the people. The flow of the crowd is generally smooth, albeit slow-going, but every once in awhile you'll find the stallers, who stand directly in front of what you're interested in and spend five minutes discussing the pros and cons of buying it. If you know what you want to get, this is a perfect place to go. However, if you're looking for a leisurely experience spent strolling up and down the market, go somewhere else.

They turned the old zeppelin hangars to a huge indoor market. Arminiusmarkthalle is built in 1891, when the population in Berlin exploded. The municipality needed market halls quick for all the new berliners. This hall was number 10, and it's not so famous as number 9. The hall is done in a fast build iron construction. I love the way you can look directly at the structure. The iron structure has not been hidden away. In 2010 the hall was revitalized, and it became a combination between old fashion markthalle and hipster nest. The hall still have is butcher, imbiss, and so. But it also have wine stalls, food trucks and restaurants.
