Biggest food hall in Eastern Europe to open in Bucharest

Business Forum
One United Properties and Tomcat Hospitality have teamed to launch Marketta Food Hall, which is set to become the biggest food hall in Eastern Europe. 

Spanning 6,000 sqm, the food hall located within One Gallery will feature restaurants, terraces, co-working spaces, a speakeasy-style bar, and ample parking. The opening is planned for Q3 2025.

"We expect to redefine Romanians' dining experience and urban consumption standards," says Cătălin Gheorghe, CEO and Founder of Tomcat Hospitality. "Our vision is to create a vibrant space that showcases culinary diversity and strengthens Bucharest's position on the global hospitality map."

One United Properties CEO Mihai Păduroiu adds: "One Gallery is a catalyst for transforming Bucharest into a reference point on the international map of gastronomy and hospitality.”

The gross development value for One Gallery is currently estimated at €100 million, which is the largest private investment in Romania in the restoration of a historic building.
