"Tripea is a high-end tasting menu stall (yes, we get the oxymoron) in the Mercado de Vallehermoso, and a one-of-a-kind Madrid dining experience. Its tagline is “come y flipa,” meaning eat and flip out, which you’ll do by savoring grilled artichokes with mani, beef cheeks stewed in laurel, and octopus with parmesan leche de tigre, olives, and Thai pesto as you watch people barter for fresh produce, families dig into gelato, and college students sip beer—just everyday market happenings. The seasonal, eight-dish menu is €60, but adding on some of the day’s additional specials, like oysters, marinated in leche de tigre with cumin and cinnamon, is worth the extra €5-€15. Making a reservation in advance is the ticket to watching the chefs prepare these special dishes in the minuscule open kitchen." - lori zaino
"Markets are evolving in Madrid. In order to attract new, younger clientele — and coax them from supermarkets — many markets have installed gastropubs next to traditional fruit, meat, and dairy stalls. In Mercado de Vallehermoso, for example, you’ll find Tripea, the culinary project of chef Roberto Martínez Foronda. His stall consists of a small open kitchen and a communal table where the chef challenges taste buds through Spanish, Asian, and Latin flavors. In a la carte selections and a perfectly executed tasting menu, Foronda entertains with shared plates filled with excitement, novelty, and hard-hitting flavors. Must-try dish: Order the iconic warm mussel ceviche." - Paula Móvil
