Food Halls in Salt Lake City

Food halls have been popular across the United States for some time, but here in Utah, it’s taken a little while for the concept to warm up. That’s all set to change in 2022 with the opening of several huge new facilities. Here’s all the food halls we know of in the Salt Lake valley right now – and those coming soon.

  • Elephant Press Cafe – pastries from Fillings & Emulsions, hot and cold drinks
  • Santo Tacos – Mexican cuisine

Arguably the first food hall concept to open in contemporary times is this outfit from Vegas. HallPass is located in The Gateway, on the West side of downtown Salt Lake City.

Woodbine Food Hall and Tavern is a food hall that opened in the Summer of 2022 in the refurbished former Rico facility at 545 W. 800 S.  After extensive work the project opened to four vendors and a brand new bar area.  The project is being spear headed by Zachary Howa.

Located in the quickly trendy Granary District (Kiitos, Industry, Slackwater, Eco Hotel) the new food hall will offer a range of kitchen concepts from pizza, to tacos to sandwiches.  The former Frida Bistro space at the front of the building ill be a 21+ bar, also featuring a rooftop patio.
