You don't have to leave Tilburg for a mini-trip to Italy either. At Cibo Bio, they have recently started combining their delicacies with street food. Everything you taste here is homemade or sourced directly from Italy.

The stars of the show are the panigacci: thin Italian flatbreads generously topped with Italian delicacies such as buffalo mozzarella, straciatella, pesto, prosciutto, and mortadella. But the fresh pastas and arancini (fried rice balls) are also excellent. The great thing is that almost everything you eat here is also available for purchase at the stall. So you can hold onto that Italian feeling a little longer at home.

Planning a drinks evening? Then this is your first stop. Moussi’s stall is stocked with olives, tapenades, hummus, homemade delicacies, and baklava. The danger? You rarely leave here with just what you came for. At Moussi, you are allowed to sample extensively, and that doesn't necessarily make choosing any easier. Our favorites? The pistachio aioli, the magical feta, and the Turkish pizzas. As for the latter: be there early, because when it's gone, it's really gone.

You can also come here for tea, herbs, chickpeas, couscous, olive oil, and all kinds of other Mediterranean flavors. Handy for home, but honestly: chances are you're coming mainly for that charcuterie board.

Of course, there is much more to discover at the market. For example, there is Luc's Nut Bar, a fixture at the Tilburg market for over thirty years. We invariably go home with a bag of macadamia nuts, but the granola and homemade mixes are also top-notch.
