We came across the market for the first time on Sunday and it was very crowded. However, the food looked very delicious, so we decided to come back during the week days. During the week the market is not that full of people and you can enjoy the atmosphere of real Madrid, with a glass of good wine and a... More

One of the must-visits in Madrid is this nicely set market. It is really nice to have a stroll inside - also a very good bad-weather option. The food is nicely displayed and makes your mouth watering. Some food here is really nice. Like some simple, but good croquettes. Then at the "Meating Point" you can get a good variety... More

Ancient and historic European market, took complete makeover as a contemporary gourmet of street food. At the Mercado de San Miguel you will find small, lovely shop stalls filled with fresh cheeses, meats, bread, pasta, fruits and vegetables, cakes and specialty Spanish foods for sale. There are plenty of tapas and wines to be enjoyed at the small tables on... More

This was one of the coolest indoor markets that I've seen. Better selection of food and treats than Seattle's Pike Place Market or Boston's Market if you ask me. There was a huge variety of food. There were a few dessert cases with lots of treats. There were some wine bars and standup beer/liquor service. There was a fruit bar... More

Fab selection of food & drinks, great way to try lots of different things. Iberian ham was amazing. One tip, watch your bags got ours stolen on first night - had been attached to the stool I was sitting on. Couple at next table had their suitcase taken!!

Went here on a Friday evening and it was packed. No seating and standing room was also a challenge. However, it was bustling and lively and had tons of selection for tapas like olives, jamon, desserts, cheese etc. There were also lots of options for wine, cerveca, sangria and the vendors were friendly. Be prepared to muscle your way through... More

Amazing place! Best place for tapas, wine and beers in Madrid! I went with my wife and enjoyed it really much. You can get Tapas cheaper than here but the atmosphere is priceless. If you dont minding standing up to eat you should go here. There are places to sit but as it is a crowdy place it can sometimes... More

This is a wonderful market with good, and very reasonably priced tapas laid out in front of each stall. The people at the wine bar speak very good English and are really helpful in their recommendations once they know the type of wine that you like. They introduced me to some really spectacular garanchas. You can just stand at the... More

This market is simply amazing. Great food, reasonably priced. Great for a quick tapas meal & a drink. May have to fight for a spot to eat as it is busy, but worth it for the food delights

Just as everyone else says. Beatle down to this place and be amazed by the choice of little tapas dishes, little snacks and fabulous drinks. Fruit, fruit juices made as you wait...go for breakfast and drink hot, sweet coffee while darting off to find little treats for breakie. Hot bread, with chorizo and an egg on top for 3.50 eu....
