Foodhallen

Foodhallen is an indoor food hall at Hannie Dankbaarpassage 33 in Oud-West, Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, set inside the former Hollandsche Sectie tram depot within the De Hallen complex. The tiled walls and iron roof trusses are original to the depot and have been left largely intact, giving the space an industrial character. Around 21 vendors sell Dutch and international street food from stalls arranged around a central bar area, and there is no table service. Bitterballen paired with jenever shots are the most emblematic local order, while other counters serve Indonesian noodles, Dutch craft burgers, ramen, tacos and more. The format suits groups who want different things, because each person can order from a different kitchen and share a table. Most dishes cost roughly €8 to €18. Drinks include craft beer and wine from the central bars, and the tasting-style grazing approach means diners often combine several small plates rather than one main. The atmosphere is loud and crowded, particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings when the hall stays open until 00:30; on other days it closes at 23:30. Reservations are not taken and the hall operates on a walk-in basis, so finding a seat at peak times can take patience. A weekday lunch or early-afternoon visit is a calmer way to see the depot's architecture. The location within the De Hallen complex is an easy walk from the Jordaan and the Vondelpark.
