Markthalle

Hanover


This huge, indoor market of cafe stalls and gourmet delicatessens is popular at lunchtime and great for a quick bite, both carnivorous and vegetarian. There's a good range of cuisines – including Italian, Thai, German and Spanish tapas – and you can even take a break over a beer or cocktail.
