If you can't find something to eat here, I don't know what to tell ya!
Indian, Italian, bagels, dumplings, donuts, fresh produce, candy, flowers and cards, delicious coffee, cheeses and crackers, beer and wine, pastries, salsa and sauces.... And that's not all of it! Love inside shopping like this. It's fun to meander around, buy a bite and pair with something from the neighboring stall.

We stayed nearby for a weekend and ate here multiple times. The quality, selection and service were extraordinarily good. In the space of a few days I had ramen, Somali, vegan baked goods and bought a delicious cherry balsamic vinegar.

This is where you need to go for breakfast and lunch if you're close.

Such a charming market! This place has the widest variety of world foods I've ever seen under one roof. Market Blooms has beautiful flowers and the service was lovely. This place smells amazing. This is a must visit spot for your Columbus adventures!

Such a unique experience if you are in the area. This local market houses mainly food joints, but also offers option for quality cheese, coffee, gifts, and spices. I was thrilled that every stand we visited offered something totally different from the last. It was cool to look around and choose what to eat based off of the smells and looking at what others had ordered. We went with ramen and also dumplings at the stand called Momo Ghar (which Guy Fieri had visted and gave his stamp of approval.) The food was amazing. We sat upstairs at the bar where there was plently of seating and we were able to watch below as people walked around. It was super busy on Friday, but that just added to the local market/communal feel. It felt like walking down the street with bunches of vendors all offering amazingly unique choices. Everyone was super kind and willing to answer any questions. Must visit!

Nice place to chill. Gets crowded not necessary busy. Has a nice feel, a lot of things happening.

Descent selection of foods. Price is okay.

On a beautiful Friday afternoon, we mozied over to The North Market to get some ice cream and walk the grounds. This place gives me a Pike Place Fish Market feel (Seattle open market) where there all kind of open market eateries and a few homemade wares booths to check out the local stuff available. It is definitely a neat place to visit and very close to a local park that simultaneously was hosting a COMFEST (community festival) so a lot of local people simply enjoying the day and community fellowship. Columbus has a fantastic downtown feel with great eateries and local pubs. I recommend this area for a fun outing.

Always a great time to visit the North Market, whether you’re hungry, need a snack or just want to walk in a vibrant, communal space. The mix of a wide range of cultural foods makes this public space a great melting pot. There are so many places to choose from. Currently some construction going on here, and it also looks like some new businesses are gearing up to start serving here. Looking forward to the future of food in this building! Also tons of seating on the 2nd floor with a great open view of the restaurants below.

On our way home from an epic road trip, we stumbled upon the North Market in Columbus, Ohio, and it was an unexpected delight! The market boasts a plethora of wonderful vendors offering fresh, delicious food that tantalized our taste buds. From artisanal cheeses to freshly baked bread, there was something for every palate. If we were Columbus locals, this market would undoubtedly become a favorite stop for us. Don't miss out on this culinary oasis if you're in the area!

12/2/23 update: I saw some newer restaurants here. They’re doing construction so it can be a little difficult going to the back entrance from the convention center. You’ll have to go in from the front.

I love this place. A multitude of different ethnic food and snacks. There is literally something for everyone here no matter how picky you are. Prices won’t break the bank. You get a generous amount of food. I like to grab different kinds of food to try out.

Food hall concept where different food vendors are in a large open warehouse-type space so customers can select and taste different cuisines .. the ground floor is where the vendor's are and the upper floor is the dining area with plenty of tables and bar stools to enjoy the food

Great foodie destination. There’s a lot of different cuisines to taste. Stauf’s make an excellent coffee. The Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar shop has some incredible flavours.

Don’t skip the polish stand!!! For sure the best potato pancake in Ohio. We hard a very hard time deciding which place to have lunch at as we were only in town for a day. We went with Tajine House (Moroccan cuisine) for our main entree and got some potato pancakes and pierogies from the Polish spot. Everything was very fresh and well presented. The atmosphere was extremely inviting and great for people watching as you can eat upstairs and look down on the indoor market. Plenty of fun local shopping as well in the market for those looking for a unique souvenir. Enjoy :)

The market is made up with a dozen or so unique stores

It is definitely worthy a stroll through the market. From a cup of Joe in the morning to a spicy bite of Nepali food, this is a cutesy place to spend time.
The pretzel shop is my fav! No need to commit to the full pretzels, those little sticks allow anyone a taste of variety without the quantity. And they are tasty, soft with just a touch of chewy texture.

Happy eating

So much fun! A diversity of food vendors and little shops selling cards and flowers. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area. I went in the morning so most booths were still closed but I’m sure it gets lively in the afternoons! Lots of cuisines inside to try including Moroccan, Italian, etc. I included a photo of the stall map so you can get a sense of what’s currently there, enjoy!

I love this place! There are so many great food options, plus some extra shopping options while you are there. If you have company in town, I would suggest taking them to the North Market.
