Mercado de San Antón Food Hall
Madrid, Spain
About This Activity
The Mercado de San Antón in Chueca is a modern three-floor food hall combining a fresh produce market on the ground floor with a gourmet food court upstairs and a rooftop terrace bar with views over the neighborhood. Popular for a relaxed lunch — choose from stalls serving sushi, tapas, fresh pasta, grilled meats, and Spanish wine. Budget around €17–20 per person for a light meal. It's noticeably quieter than San Miguel and popular with local Chueca residents and professionals. The rooftop bar is especially pleasant on warm evenings.
Seasonal note: Year-round. Rooftop terrace is best April–October. Closed Sundays.
