I arrived shortly after opening (8 am) on a Saturday. As one of our Tour Guides mentioned, the wonderful aromas in a market as you pass the different stands full of fresh/seasonal products is unforgettable. This one has the usual suspects-butchers, fish mongers, olives, nuts, fruit, a stand that had only eggs (a few varieties), Jamon/Iberico Ham only stands and of course various restaurants. I had some breakfast and not breakfast food at Pinotxo Bar (Xuxos, Cafe con Leche, Beef Cheeks and Octopus Galician style. We picked up some croquettes (chorizo) and spinach and chorizo empanadas at another stand-delicious! We also got a jamon/cheese and Serrano ham/cheese croissants for lunch at another spot-also delicious! Overall, packs a big punch for a smaller market and definitely worth a visit.

I enjoyed this market way more than La Boqueria. Manageable crowds and unfussy yet cozy experience. A delight for a leisurely morning of eating through the various stores. From cod croquettes to prosciutto snacks to cheeky morning prosecco and more, there is plenty to discover in the market plus the surrounding stores. There's also a supermarket around the corner for things you can't find in the market. Smaller market but local flair more than makes up for its size.

Of course I checked on Yelp and the Mercadona was at the top of the list. It was also located a few blocks away and easy walking distance. The store is rather large, but from the entrance, one wouldn't think so. They have a great selection of food products and other household items. I picked up a baguette, some jamon (lol), brie and white cheddar cheese, potato chips, and a bottle of wine. Oh, and paper towels, dish soap, and a sponge. It was all pretty reasonably priced. The bread was freshly baked but I'm not sure from where. The jamon and cheese were great! And the brand of chips were pretty good. I scored with the bottle of wine as well. Overall, I was able to recreate a cafe meal for less than the cost at a cafe, with enough left over, except the bread and wine, for another lite meal. Overall, this is a great store to shop at. Much like my Albertson's at home, but better...way better!

Let's face facts. There's no market in Barcelona that compares with the food porn extravaganza that…read moreis La Boqueria (review: https://yelp.to/tHXHo177jd). However, there are genuine contenders like Mercat de Sant Antoni housed in a beautiful, mid-19th-century octagon-shaped building (review: https://yelp.to/QfoN2pYfE_) and this one just rebuilt in 2005 with a kaleidoscopic roof designed as a ceramic wave. It's a more modern space inside with fresh seafood and produce stands alternating with spice purveyors and prepared food counters. All of it looked appetizing though there wasn't much seating on the premises. Through its various iterations in the atmospheric La Ribera neighborhood, the market has been here since 1848. On the southern side, there are remnants of a monastery that existed for seven centuries before that. RELATED - Exploring Barcelona?

Food we go eggs Benedict with bacon and shakshuka. It hit the spot because we were starving from travel. Shakshuka had tomato chunks in it and dipping the bread in was good! The eggs Benedict was alright to me. Bacon didn't get crispy but maybe that's the style? Not sure. The hollandaise sauce fell flat for me, didn't have any pronounced flavor. Again could be style differences over this side of the pond. Service was pretty slow for us.

Before you roll your eyes thinking this will be one of my dismissive reviews, I want to confess Jamie W and I had satisfying bites here when we were seeking a lighter bite for lunch and a late night latte after barhopping. It's a spacious cafe on one of Sitges' main pedestrian arteries, Carrer Marques Montroig. Beyond the lure of terrace seating, it has the added convenience of being open from 8:30AM to midnight and 2AM on weekends. Their menu is quite broad with a focus on familiar comfort foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We came here to have salads, and they have them for 8,7€ each. Jamie had the Spinach which included jamon serrano, parmesan, and walnuts (Photo 9), while I went with the Caesar which had chicken and parmesan (Photo 8). They were both hearty portions well executed. We decided to indulge and have 2,2€ Cafe Leches (Photo 6) but not before sharing a big 6,2€ slice of Apple Pie served à la mode with vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, toffee, and whipped cream (Photo 7). They're locally known for the wide variety of their baked goods (Photo 2), so we just felt a need to have dessert. On another evening, we returned to satisfy our need for something decadent yet again. FOOD - 4 stars...casual eats in American-size portions, the baked sweets are tasty AMBIANCE - 4 stars...inviting terrace seating, usually pretty busy in here SERVICE - 4 stars...pretty efficient and open late TOTAL - 4 stars...a bustling, all-day hub for light bites or heavier indulgences RELATED - Exploring Sitges?

Food came out much later and food was mediocre at best. Had to ask someone else to get check. Decided to give it one more change today and went for a smoothie. After sitting outside, waitress came up and just stared. Ordered two smoothies. Brought out by someone else. Smoothie was nothing special. Waitress came back about 20 min later with the bill saying she's leaving. Paid in cash. Waited for almost 15 min for our change and a different waitress brought it and sat at table and walked off. Food was nothing special and service was horrible. Wouldn't recommend going there.
