French term or phrase: pavillon gastronomique
This is from a text on a new city centre/ business district being built on the banks of the Rhine:

C’est un chantier vertigineux dont les chiffres donnent le tournis ! D'ici à l'automne 2010, un centre-ville d'un genre totalement nouveau sera édifié directement sur les rives du Rhin et comportera un centre commercial d’une surface d'environ 30.000m², un pavillon gastronomique, un hall naval historique restauré, un parking de 1.300 places et 25.000m² supplémentaires d'espaces extérieurs et d'équipements donnant directement sur le fleuve sont déjà prévus.

Thanks!

agree  kitty hw: why not prefix this expression with "gourmet" then? gourmet food court.
13 mins
neutral  Tony M: i don't think this is a 'court' within the centre, but rather, some kind of separate building in its own right; so this might be rather understating it?
17 mins
agree  Trudy Peters: That's what I would call it. Don't see the need for "gourmet"

neutral  Jean-Louis S.: 'food court' does not feel very 'gastronomique' [http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/gastronomie]

gastronomic food pavillion


Explanation:
You coud just say food pavillion - but perhaps that is not upmarket enough.
