Urban Food Halls a Big Craze in Miami, and We Bet You Haven't Been to All of Them

May 24, 2019 May 24, 2019
Miami is officially on board the latest urban food hall train, with new urban food halls sprouting up everywhere. These sites are inspired in European marketplaces and are known for hosting a wide variety of food vendors, restaurant kiosks, and marketplaces in a single location, often spanning thousands of square feet.
Several new urban food halls have cropped up across Miami in the last couple of years, providing accessible and varied eateries ranging from top-tier restaurants to casual street food. Several areas are now blessed with urban food halls, including the novel Brickell City Center, the luxe Design District, and the trendy art-lined streets of Wynwood. Miami Beach will also see the opening of one or more food halls in the coming months.
Below we’ve assembled a list of Miami’s most popular urban food halls, but bear in mind that there will soon be a lot more!
