    Much better market than La boqueria - clean, quieter, and less touristy and with many eateries inside or around. Visit Bar Joan inside the market for an authentic local rustic meal. Very cheap and absolutely delicious simple homemade food experience.

    It more a real market, instead of La Boqueria. You can see here that people are really buying produce and stuff for their homes. It’s more clean, spacious and friendly people that are looking to solve any doubt or question you have. Inside two places to take a really good meal made with tons of fresh products that blow your eyes and mind in the market It’s entrance has a design kind of Gaudi and is located near Barrio Gotico Definitely a place to visit, see and feel

    For a place to camp out in a rainstorm, this place was awesome and they serve food well into the afternoon, which isn't the case everywhere in Spain. It's a beautiful space, cozy with friendly staff and a very creative menu. I got adventurous and decide to try the VEGAN carbonara...although I wouldn't call it carbonara (how can you top real eggs, cream, and bacon??), it was delicious! Made from zucchini and squash noodles with a wonderful umami sauce, the flavor was great and it was very satisfying and comforting, how carbonara is supposed to be. A glass of wine, and an oat milk café con leche afterwards to top it off. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    The food was good and seemed much better than the normal tourist trap food throughout the city. We sat at the bar which was enjoyable. The bartender helped us pick some good tapas and entree options. The best part was just how open and friendly the people work here were. We would honestly rate the food as good but the people as very excellent!

    Very nice local markets with fresh produce, nice spices shop, fresh breakfast, and reasonable price. The neighboring tourist trap cost most than 2x.

    Awesome delicious local market in Barcelona! Xarcuteria Carlos I Montse inside has delicious fresh jamon iberico and serrano! I brought them back in the Philippines and my siblings loved them! Best ever!

    An amazing place to stop in for any type of snack or grocery. On vacation from California, enjoyed sampling a bunch of different foods. The food is fresh, the vendors are friendly, and the atmosphere is lovely. I would have liked to have tried on of the bars near the sides or the location. Very cool social atmosphere.

    A typical market that gets one extra star in my book because its so much less crowded with the scourge of tourists. Lots of food stalls offering all manner of produce. Place looks clean and well organized, there are food counters inside and a couple of restaurants just on the outside of the marketplace.

    Nice place to visit, not crowded like La Boqueria market. Wonderful and tasty specialties, you must try/ buy jamon, fuet and longaniza at Antonio Iberics or the lardons and the black garlic cheese at Can Marti Jordi. Take some time to have a glass of cava or a beer, you will love it!

    Gorgeous historic neighborhood to shop and dine. The best quality of meats and fish, cheeses, wines and vegetables. Excellent tapas to fortify you before you haul your groceries back to your lodgings.

    Such a great market! I’m still eating the meats I bought from them a week ago. It’s so delicious and reasonably priced!

    Photograph the roof, then eat the Tortilla! This fresh market features a wonderful wave-like roof which is worth a look from inside and out, on its own, but the Market also boasts a cafe, bar and proper restaurant. The cafe had the best Tortilla de Patatas (Spanish omelette) that I tasted during my visit to Barcelona.

    My favourite market in the city. Less touristy than others and a great range of shops and fresh produce. The snack bar at the main entrance is excellent too.

    Amazing public market with vendors of all types of foodstuffs ( meats, fish, vegetables, fruits , you name it ) along with a number of restaurants/bars too. Lovely food at competitive prices make it a delight to shop in. This is not a tourist market but a real public market that allows you to buy anything you might need for the day, or weeks in advance. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Elio G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Casually stumbled, but for me randomness does not exist, nor did I come out more enriched, even if with less money, because abundance and wealth are not synonymous, but they are confused. (Original) Casualmente inciampato, ma la casualità per me non esiste,nè sono uscito più arricchito, anche se con denaro in meno, perchè abbondanza e ricchezza non sono sinonimi.Ma vengono confusi.

  • 1/5 jorge luis rojas s. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Santa Caterina's kitchen ... disgusting ... inedible ... when you ask for fried potatoes, you will expect crispy fries and their spicy sauces ... because here the potatoes are boiled and they put a mayonnaise on top of Mercadona with an oil with some raw herbs that make an oily potinge. I do not know if the skylight group continues to run this kitchen but my mother I do not recommend it to vox voters (Original) La cocina del Santa Caterina ....un asco ...incomible ... cuando uno pide patatas bravas se espera unas patatas fritas crujientes y con sus salsita picantita ..pues aquí las patatas te las hierven y encima le ponen una mayonesa del Mercadona con un aceite con unas crudo hiervas que hacen un potinge aceitoso .no sé si el grupo tragaluz continua llevando está cocina pero madre mía no lo recomiendo ni a los votantes de vox

  • 5/5 Soler O. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A market that is anything but touristy and much more affordable than others. The Carles cheese / charcuterie is worth a visit. (Original) Un marché tout sauf touristique et bien plus abordable que d'autres. La fromagerie/charcuterie Carles mérite le détour.

    Nice indoor market with good quality foods. Lots of yummy looking cheeses and meats and not so yummy looking tripas and whole rabbit. Lol

  • 5/5 Suzana K. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great market. A bit if everything for everyone. Nice and fresh. Our bad fortune we did not have a kitchen in our accommodations.

  • 5/5 Wisanu T. 1 year ago on Google
    I like this one more than La boqueria. It’s much cleaner, quieter, and less touristy. Highlight of this market would be Bar Joan, which serving a mean authentic Tapas, cheap and yummy!

  • 5/5 Vicente L. 1 year ago on Google
    Market of the XIX century recently rehabilitated that leads to a large number of visits from people related to architecture. Very well located in the city, it has a huge variety of good local products and places to sit and try some tapas at normal prices.

  • 5/5 Jose L. 1 year ago on Google
    Award winning market for the original design and improved building looks, you can still see and appreciate the old arquitecture from the x century, great for buying your groceries, bread etc, with many restaurants and bars.

  • 4/5 Keat C. 4 months ago on Google
    A smallish market catering more to the locals. For a visitor wise, it’s more a manageable visit. You won’t get touts trying to lure you to their tapas place. You get a fair sense of how the locals shop here. My visit coinciding with Halloween where some of the traders participating with their gory make-ups add to the fun. If you need further convincing, the 2 Humana shops within a stone throw away should tilt the scale.

  • 5/5 Sarry Haj Y. 5 months ago on Google
    Cool, place to look at different and variety of ingredients. Also to buy some tasty snacks and tastes from Barcelona.

  • 3/5 Tetiana S. 7 months ago on Google
    Market for tourists. Nice shop shelves, but nothing unique in products or attractive packaging. Not a big offer of products, you can buy the same in any grocery

  • 5/5 Constantin C. 4 months ago on Google
    Wasn't crowded at all on our visit. But it's simply not on the same level as other markets from Barcelona.

  • 5/5 Wisco S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a good market with lots of fresh options. Usually I would only give this place 4 stars, however one side of the market leads to an ancient area of the city where you can see the old structures. This anthropological marvel definitely boosts the market to a full 5 stars

    (Translated by Google) It is a market like those before the arrival of supermarkets, fresh meat and fish and others, there should be more or not have allowed them to close, because it is where small entrepreneurs work, who are ultimately the ones who move money and not large areas, CAPITALISM I AM TOTALLY AGAINST (Original) Es un mercado como los de antes de la llegada de los supermercados, carne y pescado fresco y demás, deberían de existir mas o no haber dejado que se cerraran, pues es donde trabajan los pequeños empresarios que en definitiva son los que mueven el dinero y no grandes superficies, CAPITALISMO ESTOY EN CONTRA TOTALMENTE
