Hietalahti market hall

The market hall acts as concentration for restaurants and cafés, offering Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, French and Middle Eastern cuisine both at lunchtime and in the evening.

Although the building designed by architect Selim A. Lindqvist in 1903 was believed to originally have served as a Russian cavalry barracks, it has been a market hall since the beginning.

This business idea did not pay off, so in late 2003 Kauko Korpela, founding member of the Finnish Association for Art Merchants and the Finnish Art and Antiquities Merchant Association STAY, rented the central hall building of the market hall from the city of Helsinki.

The building returned to its original function as a market hall on 11 February 2013.
