Kalle Halle
Kalle Halle is a food hall with restaurants, bars, coffee, and shared seating in a former department-store building.
Confirmed open against a source on 2 August 2026. Source: Berlin.de. 52.47948, 13.43769.
Practical
The address is Karl-Marx-Straße 101, 12043 Berlin. The official site lists the hall from 12:00 to 21:00 Monday to Thursday, 12:00 to 22:00 Friday and Saturday, and 12:00 to 18:00 Sunday, with LAP Coffee opening from 08:00 to 17:00 Monday to Saturday. Food prices vary by stall, and no single current price list was found, so rough cost is UNVERIFIED after a price check on 2026-08-02. The food hall format uses individual vendors, and the current sources give no general booking or queue policy, so those points are UNVERIFIED. [1][2][3][4]
Times and seasons
Who it suits, and when
Kalle Halle suits groups with different food preferences, coffee visitors, and people who want shared seating. People seeking one fixed restaurant menu or a quiet table service meal may avoid it because the offer and seating depend on separate vendors. A rough visit takes 45 to 120 minutes, based on the food hall format, and this is an estimate. [1][2][3]
What is not obvious
The building opened in 1970 as a Quelle and SinnLeffers department store, later became Karstadt, and stood empty for years before the current project. [1]
History
The food hall officially opened on 4 September 2025 after a soft opening period, with the project initiated by Martin Barry. The former operator Kalle Halle GmbH filed for insolvency in early July 2026 after the landlord ended the lease. The owner then announced that the resident gastronomy businesses would run the food hall directly, and the hall remained open. [1][2][3]
