Food and shopping options
The hall’s restaurant-and-café focus is reflected in its vendor information, which includes a range of food and coffee names. Check current vendor details before choosing a particular counter, since vendors and hours can change.

Market hall or outdoor Hietalahti market?
The hall is an indoor venue focused on restaurants and cafés; Hietalahti Market Square is the neighbouring outdoor market space. You can visit both in one stop, but their schedules and atmosphere are distinct.
The City of Helsinki gives the square’s service hours as Monday–Friday 6.30–18.00, Saturday 6.30–16.00, and Sunday 10.00–17.00, while noting that hours vary with the time of year and weather.
The square has hosted summertime flea-market activity for several decades and is particularly known for its flea market. In recent summers, Hietalahti Market Hall restaurateurs have also operated a joint terrace there.
If the outdoor market is part of your plan, check its separate schedule as well as the hall’s: square hours and hall hours are not the same.
