The Helsinki Kauppahalli
The Helsinki Market Hall or Farmers market has both the basic foods for creating everyday meals and special foods for that adventuresome palate.
While shopping for your favorite fresh Finnish foods, you get introduced to current Finnish foods and international delicacies.
The Helsinki Kauppahalli is dubbed "Wanha Kauppahalli" "Old Store Hall" because it has maintained the good old 'Farmers Market' atmosphere and food is served on a platter by shopowners themselves.
