Beautiful modernist style market worth a visit for the architecture alone. One of Spain's biggest fresh produce markets, you can buy all manner of fruit, veg, meat, fish, beer, wine etc here.

This market is definitely must have! You can just walk around and buy some stuffs and eat them outside or in park. We had breakfast in the middle of the market, it's very cool place though!

The place to go for foodies. Great fresh stuff and seafood you never knew existed, impossible to get anywhere or was for consumption like langoust, squilla mantis and spider crab.

Such a beautiful building with great food! Fruits, vegetables, meats, and cheeses, it’s a perfect place for buying souvenirs and trying some local foods. Had a lovely bocadillo and pastries :)

A must see spot. Centrally located. Closes 3pm, so you need to coordinate your schedule. Great for food, tapas and pintxos. Very fantastic for lunch. Only one place serves food to sit and eat.

Fun to stroll to the market, but there is actually very little to eat - great if you're just planning to buy 5kg of fresh prawns and take them home to prepare...

Amazing architecture, but not really equipped if you wanna have real lunch browsing through the stands.

Opposite La Lonja, pick up a freshly-squeezed orange juice outside the art nouveau Central Market, where the fabulous local produce is sold at more than 1,000 stalls.

The market has less restaurants & ability to buy a quick bite than others. It's more where locals buy groceries.
ShinaOctober 16, 2017
Lots of fresh fruits, meats and cheeses. Walk around, taste whatever you can and enjoy the atmosphere. It’s really crowded but everyone keeps it moving.
Kristof AckxJune 15, 2018
It's just a must-do. Fish, meat, fruit and vegetables, as fresh as you can get them. All of that in a nice building, right in the Old City.

Yummy food and cheap! €1 per portion and get so much! Little pastries and chocolate are a must.
Joan DuongMay 26, 2017
Cheap food!!! So yummy and fresh! The little pastries are amazing and chocolate is very good.
Kat TennefossApril 10, 2019
Cool market. It does take awhile to get your items because of the lines. A lot of tours so its hard to see everything. Selection is good though.

Fantastic food market. Since there is only one stand where you can take lunch on the go, be patient if you want a seat at the bar.
Angela OsztrozicsNovember 5, 2016
A food heaven! Fresh fish, vegetables, mushrooms, jamon. The olives are brilliant!
Evan WeinmanMarch 22, 2015
A great indoor open market filled with fresh food for a cheap price. A must go to experience when visiting Valencia.
Hop Hey LalaleySeptember 11, 2016
Must visit! Incredibly beautiful building. We have found only one bar inside and it was good, fresh seafood.
Nati GJuly 11, 2018
Not cheapest place, very many tourists, at 2 pm already closed many shops (with seafood for example). Every product from this market you can find in Mercadona, but price will be more cheap, than here.
ElleOctober 30, 2015
Things to buy or sample: chufa, horchata, jamon iberico pata negra d bellota, queso manchego...etc. all things produced in Spain.
Jonas de GrootApril 29, 2015
Even if you don't need to do your grocery shopping, walk in and be amazed.

really nice place, you can find whatever you want, and fresh and natural food
Henrik EhrenbergJuly 29, 2017
A very nice atmosphere and a place to hang out - and maybe get some wine advice, take a coffee or by things for dinner.
Erwin VanheckeJanuary 25, 2015
Been here 50+ times
Besides the amazing food market, the architecture of this building is also very interesting.
Kurtis SherryJune 11, 2019
A must see in Valencia. Go early to avoid the crowds
Andrea ManganoMay 4, 2015
It seems a museum, it should be visited! It is full of variety of food. Moderate prices and in some case very cheap!
Jade le GrelleMay 2, 2015
Fresh so fresh! Variety, beautiful architecture, all you can wish for. A must when in Valencia

Be sure to visit Supergourmet - some of the best tapas in Valencia, especially the tortilla and the alcachofas.

Packed with stallholders and food and drink as far as the eye can see. Be sure to arrive with an apetite because you will be leaving full!

It’s a bit touristic in the afternoon, so I should suggest you to visit this place in the morning
