Markt Centraal’s neighbourhood chefs will prepare a delicious, weekly changing dish plus dessert for you. Enjoy the special atmosphere in the Central Market Hall, framed by a moppie of live music.

With this edition the aunt of our business manager Shine, Aunt Tania. Straight from Suriname, she is conquering summer festivals in the Netherlands with her pom-burgers, but first your hearts during this festive Market Meal. Hip hip hip hurrah!

Markt Centraal can only be reached by our train, The Markt Centraal Express. It departs from the gate of the Food Center Amsterdam at Jan van Galenstraat 6. The train runs between 13:30 and 14:00. We know no mercy for latecomers.

Our Market Meal is a place to meet and invite new or unexpected people. Come alone, with your family or invite your opposite neighbour who could use or has earned a diversion. There is unfortunately no room for groups over 8 people.

We have different prices, so it will be Market Meal for all.

€15.00 – Market Mate

This prize is for anyone who enjoys sharing or can just run wide. As a Markt Maatje, you give a free Market Meal to an unknown Amsterdammer who cannot afford it. So is donating in your blood or renting out your second home in De Jordaan? Then tap it!

€10.00 – Jan Modaal

This price is for the average Amsterdammer. Neither poor nor rich. People who always use their Bonus card, sometimes get tempted by fun shopping and then regret it the next month. Who do go on holiday, but certainly not annually on winter sports.

€2.50 – City pass

This price is for holders of a valid City Pass with a green dot. Because you don’t have much to spare, but deserve a tasty outing every now and then.

€0.00 – MaatjesMaal

This prize is for him/her/it who really needs it. For those who are always flat broke, but need a good meal and some cosiness around them. For those Amsterdammers who do not meet the conditions of the City Pass or do not fit into a social pigeonhole, the reason is beyond us… Join us!

The Market Meal is a 3-course vegetarian meal. We cook the same and very affordable menu for an average of 200 visitors and unfortunately cannot cater for other dietary requirements in advance.

Always bring a jumper to Market Central; inside is outside here.

The Central Market Hall is accessible by wheelchair; there is also a MIVA toilet in the hall. The little train is unfortunately not accessible by wheelchair. If you are coming with a wheelchair, please let us know in advance. We will then sign you in at the doorman of the Food Center Amsterdam.

If cancelled up to one week before the Market Meal, a refund of the amount paid is possible minus €2 costs per person. If cancelled in the week before the Market Meal, refund of the amount paid is unfortunately not possible.
