Mix & Match more than Surf & Turf
You can easily order different meals at different places and combine them at the table. How about Vietnamese spring rolls, lamb ribs, wine and dessert. It's doable!

While my burger was being prepared, I ordered wine at another bar.

I could have even gotten cupcakes and spring rolls while I was waiting. But why overdo it? ;-)
Foodhallen versus Markthal?
The age-old question? Foodhallen and Markthal are totally different. Foodhallen is similar to the Markthal in that it is a big hall in which you'll find various high-quality food vendors. The main difference, however, is that the focus is actually more on eating said food rather than looking at it.
Foodhallen Rotterdam atmosphere
At the Foodhallen, it looks and feels like the food courts you'd find in an American shopping mall. It's a place for eating and drinking. There are no designs on the ceiling or folks taking pictures, but there are plenty of places to sit and relax.
Every food stall has seating at the bar and in the centre of the hall, there are tables for everybody. There's also an additional dining area which was completely empty at about 16:00 in the afternoon.

Location: Foodhallen Rotterdam
The food hall is located at Wilhelminakade 58, in the Kop van Zuid area. The building's facade reads Pakhuismeesteren. The hall, like many on Kop van Zuid, used to be a 'pakhuis,' that's Dutch for 'warehouse.'

Foodhallen Rotterdam shares the building with the Room Mate Bruno hotel. In fact, there's a corridor connecting the hotel and the Foodhallen. Foodhallen Rotterdam is open daily from 11:00 in the morning to midnight.
