Gourmet marketplace with produce, meat, seafood, tapas & tortilla
"Tucked behind residential blocks, I found Mercado de La Paz to be a local favorite where butchers, fishmongers, and cheesemongers have been dishing out delicacies for over a century — think salty anchovies and silky jamón Ibérico." - AFAR
"A lively market in the Salamanca neighborhood that makes an engaging stop if you’d prefer to keep shopping." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A local market offering high-quality ham, cheese, and one of the best Spanish omelets." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Despite its recent revamp, this beautifully restored 140-year-old market still retains its old-school, no-fuss neighborhood flavor. You'll find stall after stall of gourmet, fresh ingredients for home cooking plus a smattering of great prepared food stands. So great are some of these, that allegedly, some of the city's best chefs come here in their spare time. Don't miss Casa Dani with its traditional, daily-changing tapas menu."
"One of Madrid's longest-standing markets—it opened in 1882—Mercado de la Paz is a Salamanca icon. It's also a bustling maze where vendors know the names of their customers' kids—"Has Paco finished his Master's yet?" "What ever happened to Elena's deadbeat boyfriend?"—and where the best cuts and finest seafood are reserved for loyal regulars. Be sure to sample a €3 slice of earth-shatteringly good tortilla española from Casa Dani; with its gooey center and overabundance of caramelized onions, there's truly nothing like it." - Benjamin Kemper
