We love the public market! We went to virtually every bench to taste the local cuisine. We taste a great Jámon of the region at the first bank of the main door, the value is salty, so if you want to taste for a lower value I recommend buying in the market that the taste is the same and the price more in mind. And women, if they go to the place go with comfortable shoes because depending on the day it is almost impossible to get a place to sit.

Just 8min walk from our hotel for dinner at Mercado San Miguel which is a mixed artisan food court that has the most extraordinary gastronomic choices for those with eclectic taste! We had raw sea urchins, barnacles (first time having this and didn’t even know we can eat them! Spanish delicacy apparently), raw tuna belly in two different sauce, raw oysters, lobster croissant, steak with roasted green peppers, grilled scallops and deep fried prawns and octopus snacks 😋🥰 Seriously great stuff but very limited seating though we managed to grab a spot and enjoyed our meal 🥘 What a find! Again came highly recommend in the Chinese travel food app, Little Red Book 📕 Our nose will follow this book for sure to discover more highly rated places to eat 🥰💛

On an unexpectedly rainy day in Madrid, the Mercado San Miguel emerged as a beacon of culinary delight, inviting us to take shelter under its historic and vibrant roof. This covered market, a bustling hub of gastronomy, promised an escape from the downpour and an adventure for our taste buds. As we stepped inside, the atmosphere was instantly warming, a lively symphony of vendors calling out their specialties, the clinking of glasses, and the murmurs of satisfied customers. The Mercado San Miguel is not just a market; it's a celebration of food in all its forms, offering an array of warm and cold dishes that cater to every palate. Our culinary journey began with squid, cooked to perfection and served with a simplicity that belied its flavor. Each bite was a testament to the market's dedication to quality and freshness, a theme that continued as we delved deeper into its offerings. Next was the chocolate, a duo of hot and dipping varieties that was nothing short of heavenly. The rich, velvety warmth of the hot chocolate provided a comforting embrace, while the dipping chocolate, paired with an assortment of fruits and pastries, offered a playful yet indulgent experience. It was a chocolate lover's dream, executed with a finesse that elevated the simple pleasure to an art form. No visit to the Mercado San Miguel would be complete without sampling the beverages, and we indulged in martinis following white wine, a choice that showcased the market's range. The drinks were expertly crafted, the perfect complement to our edible explorations, and a testament to the market's vibrant food and drink culture. The Mercado San Miguel stands as a must-see stop for foodies and anyone looking to immerse themselves in the heart of Madrid's culinary scene. It's a place where every stall tells a story, every dish sings a song, and every visit leaves you with memories of flavors that linger long after the last bite. Whether you duck in from the rain or make it a planned stop on your Madrid itinerary, the Mercado San Miguel offers a journey through the best of Spanish and international cuisine, all under one roof. A feast for the senses, it's an experience that truly captures the spirit of Madrid's rich gastronomic landscape.

The Point of Sale is more of a food court where you can eat tapas or a few dishes from Argentina and Korea. Awards are quite expensive but nothing less than 4.5€ 4 tapas per person plus two cocas for more than 40 euros. But the atmosphere is nice but it is difficult to find a place to eat it is very small

Visiting the center of Madrid we could not fail to pass the San Miguel Market. The exterior was under repairs but we were able to access the interior and enjoy the great variety on offer in that market. The distribution of the stands is quite comfortable, although for those who go like us for the first time it is very easy to get lost inside. The most striking thing for them were the stands where they sold the best types of cured hams in Spain, second to none. As an experience for a tourist it is certainly important to know him, for a Madrider it is a matter of going to buy what he needs and go on his way, in short it is a gift in sight and the palate if he decides to try any of his offers.

He is an amazing person. There are delicious-looking tapas and pintxos to whet your appetite. However, there are not many places to eat and there are too many people to eat without luck. I went two days in a row and unfortunately I couldn't eat it.

Historic market now devoted to trendy take away gastronomy for tourists. The food is of good quality, the offer is varied, the presentation is attractive and... the price is adequate. It's fine if you want to go "taping" and it moves well in the crowd, otherwise I recommend more "comfortable" solutions. However, at least a little trip needs to be done.

Among the main markets in the city of Madrid, a must visit. It is located a few steps from the Plaza Mayor, it is currently under maintenance so from the outside the glance is not special; the market area is not very large. Inside you can find everything that is typical of the city and of Spain more generally. The products are of quality and if you want to try classic Spanish tapas this is the right place. Naturally, there isn't much seating, you have to make do with standing places, and it's particularly crowded during peak hours. Overall a great experience!

What a place if you love food. So much choice. A great range of tapas to be enjoyed, along with wines and drinks as well. Grab yourself a seat and take it in turns to go and get different types of foods from paella to lobster to tacos to meats and cheeses.

The food market is a must do for a weekend tripper to Madrid. We went twice. The Spritz bar made me one of the best Aperols I’ve ever had. The olive stand was delicious. I had an empanada with Mozerella and onion. Despite this going in the warmer - the middle was cold which wasn’t great. The paella (€11 for a small plate) was also cold and the rice was hard. Disappointing. Plenty of wine to buy. Big difference when we returned on the Sunday - way less crowded to Saturday day time.
