This is a fascinating place. The ambience is quite extraordinary, te food delightful and the prices are a bit pricey...........but worth a try you can walk from here to the other plazas all nearby and sample Madrid at its best. More

We absolutely loved this market, although really it's more like a large gourmet food store rather than a traditional market. We had fantastic Bellota (which I suspect is more expensive than elsewhere), seafood, olives, the list goes on. Very popular, so come earlier if you want to avoid the crowds. More

great for lunch or a mid-day tapas craving. a big open market (although inside) with several tapas stands with all kinds of mouth-watering goodies and delicious wines. only negative: kind of a pain to find a place to sit, especially during lunch hour, but totally worth going! More

I love love love this place! Fantastic intricate metal work on the outside of the building with full glass walls makes it look quite impressive. Inside, the buzz and the smells and the sights are quite overwhelming, but find yourself somewhere to perch and get stuck in! It's best to do the food runs solo I find, someone stays with... More

This is how happy hour should be everywhere. An amazing collection of merchants in a large, glass building where you eat at the counter or small center tables. They have everything you could want to nibble on; wine and cheese, pastries, cocktails, seafood, dried meats. The sights, smells and sounds are vibrant and intoxicating even before your first sangria. Enjoy,... More

We went here several times for meals and tried different things each time. It was a little overwhelming but great once you got the knack of ordering. You can not be timid.....jump in there and start pointing. More
