This sort of place is why we love Madrid! A massive array of all things Spanish and tasty! It was very busy but in a good way and had a great vibe. Every type of olive you can imagine and some fab sweet pastries and cakes. We would have gone back but ran out of time.

At our first late morning strolling through the streets of Madrid we arrived by luck at the Mercado de San Miguel. Already hungry we decided to eat some thing, It is like a market a lot of stands and little bars where you can choose what to eat. There are tables and sitting places all around the place. There is... More

nice place, very elegant and well maintained. interesting choice of food at quite impossible prices. i think it deserves a visit of 15' of our time... or 1/2 of a hour to have some oysters and a flute... nothing reminds to the original market save the iron of the columns. are we sure that this is the madrid we would...

I hadn't heard about this Mercado before coming to Madrid, and when I found it I fell in love! This is my favorite place to meet up with people because there is typical Spanish food and something for everyone to choose. I can come here if I want Greek yogurt, vermouth, tortilla, tapas, or helado! It's relatively cheap and very... More

I love the wine bar and Iberico Jamon there. You can drink many wines by glass from more than hundred labels I guess!!! The prices are ranged from less than Euro3 up to more than Euro30.- for a glass of different wine. Several good ham shops inside the market. I love it!!!

This is a great place if you are a foodie. It showed the real fusion of food culture that Madrid clearly has. We went twice, once to avoid the rain on Saturday afternoon - nightmare so crowded and whilst the atmosphere was great and it had a real buzz, it was not possible to get anywhere near any of the...

Absolutely loved Mercado San Miguel which we visited every day during our recent trip to Madrid. We sampled tapas from various places within the market, all of which were divine. We drank lovely Rioja and had great espressos and pastries. Can't rate it highly enough.

simply delicious and beautiful to walk through it, an old groceries market refurbished as a delicatessen and fashion tapas stalls market, I can definitely recommend it, prices a little bit higher than other bars

Without planning on it, we did end up stopping by here all 5 days of our trip. One day we had cappucinos and pastries mid-afternoon, another day the paella as tapas, another day for dessert after dinner, and twice for wine and cheeses before dinner. It is a sparkling new place with food presented beautifully. Not as enjoyable when super... More

This is an always crowded but terrifically fun place to have tapas, wine, and beer! It isn't always easy to find a place to sit, but be patient and someone will vacate a table. Go and enjoy the atmosphere.
