New materials
San Antón Market has changed inside and out. In its restructuring it has been changed the materials and has been got a better use of space, giving an area of over 6,000 square meters for our enjoyment. The materials have been used in the renovation also respond to a new model of market-development, that cares about the environment.
The building has a large skylight through which natural light enters. The solar panels are thus serving as a collector of energy. The floor is melt basalt and solid brick walls of tile. Like that, the building has been inserted in harmony with the rest of the district of Chueca. Modernity without fanfare, sustainability comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.
New concepts
Stroll through any of its three floors. On the first floor we find the traditional market. 14 places where you can purchase fruits and vegetables, a wide selection of meats, cheeses from all around the world, fish and select meats, smoked and salted meats, different types of bread ... enjoy every step with the variety of colours and scents.
After the purchase, go up to the second floor: an area designed for you to feed your senses, from taste to vision, to touch and smell. Here you will be able to take a casual snack in its show cooking: Japanese cuisine, Italian, Greek specialties, seafood, chocolate, juices ... you can see how they prepare it! After leaving this stock, don’t miss the exhibition hall that houses different cultural proposals.
But you will find here other options to keep enjoying this gastronomic experience. You can choose the product you want in the market stalls (meat or fish), buy what you feel like and on the third floor they cook it for you!! The terrace restaurant staff of St. Anthony's Kitchen (La Cocina de San Antón) is going to advise the best way to prepare it, spice it and what sauce they recommend for your purchase ... so you can eat it like if you were at home but you don’t need to cook it!
They also offer an extensive menu of options for lunch or dinner, either inside the restaurant or on its magnificent terrace acclimated both winter and summer, located on the roofs of Chueca. A privileged environment that it is going to delight you!

By night, the restaurant area will remain open until 12 pm (until half past one on Fridays, Saturdays and eve of public holidays) so that after dinner you can have a drink in good company and enjoying the gentle breeze, now that high temperatures reach the capital.
