food halls
Multi-vendor dining spaces
Food halls are large spaces housing multiple food vendors under one roof, typically offering diverse cuisines at individual stalls surrounding shared seating.
Unlike traditional food courts in shopping malls, food halls emphasize artisanal or upscale offerings and often anchor trendy urban developments: The new food hall downtown has everything from ramen to tacos to craft cocktails.
