Mercat de la Boqueria
September 24, 2009
If you love food markets, this is one not to be missed. It’s a viewing extravaganza of meat, fish, ham, cheese, and vegetables. Just wander around, work up an appetite, then get a stool at Bar Pinotxo and order some gambas and chick peas with blood sausage.
La Boqueria in Barcelona has great Iberian pork products along with great pintxo/tapas bars right there in the market.

WHAT THEY SAID
Chef Gary Danko of Restaurant Gary Danko in San Francisco
Barcelona's Boqueria Market of the Ramblas. Eat at Pinotxo Bar (Pinocchio) or at El Quim de la Boqueria, eat the Pan con Tomate, razor clams, calamares. At the market I head for the Jamón Iberico and any other ham I want to try!

I love La Boqueria in Barcelona for eating.
Chef Ana Sortun of Oleana in Boston
La Boqueria in Barcelona for the variety.
Wine Director Cat Silirie Barbara Lynch Gruppo in Boston
Everyone loves La Boqueria in Barcelona, Spain which I dream about going to. I love sitting in the stalls themselves in the bars in the back, which are wonderful.

I still have lots of memories of smuggled truffles from the open markets.
