Mercado de Vallehermoso

"Vallehermoso Market is the perfect stop for picky eaters or anyone that needs a break from the avalanche of jamón. Vallehermoso offers things like poke bowls, burgers, ceviche, and pizza, but still retains the old-school look and feel of Madrid’s historic food markets. Shop for lean cuts of Toledo pork at Carnicería Antonio or Rioja tomatoes from the Frutería Torijano y Varas stands to bring back to your Airbnb, spend a whole afternoon tasting Asturian sidra at the Drakkar stall, go to town on Korean spare ribs at Kitchen 154, or have a tasting menu meal at Tripea." - Lori Zaino

"One thing food-obsessed Madrileños know is that the city's culinary polestar has shifted north to the neighborhood of Chamberí. That's thanks, in large part, to Mercado de Vallehermoso, whose once-defunct stalls are now occupied by young, head-turning chefs who aren't afraid to experiment. Follow your nose, and you might end up at Graciana, an Argentinian empanada stand, or Di Buono, an Italian cubby-hole that serves pinsa, an ancient Roman flatbread with a feather-light crust. But you'll need a reservation to experience the market's gastronomic crown jewel, Tripea, the Chifa (Peruvian–Asian fusion) tasting-menu-only restaurant with a Michelin Bib Gourmand designation." - Benjamin Kemper
