We give a 5 star rating cause this is one of the rarest places where you have a smoking terrace inside - in the centre of Madrid. Also you could visit their toillets even if you do not consume - this was a blessing for us since there are no public restrooms and many specialty caffes here do not own a bathroom. So, regarding the food & drinks: we stopped twice here and drank some nice vermouth and we ate torrezno - a specialty that loose its popularity due to the calories but they are so tasty :D.

About the place:
- Nice and cozy place, specially on the terrace
- Music is too loud - you can barely speak with someone next to you - on the main hall.
- Variety of food options

About the restaurant I ordered, Americanismo:
- Over priced. 14 eur for a burger (see photo)
- Extremely rude and unfriendly staff. Barely spoke
- I ordered a Kentucky Burger (fried chicken) and I got a small burger with 5 nuggets inside!! (See photo)

Simply stay away from Americanisimo

A modern food hall with a variety of stalls from Korean, American, Peruvian, Spanish, and so on. Definitely more local vibe and less emphasis on Spanish food. Still had tapas and Spanish omelets that were delicious. 3 floors with 3 bars on each floor. Prices reasonable for drinks and food. A little smaller but with 3 floors there’s still plenty of space. Also a nice outside area for those smokers.

Two floors food court. Nice atmosphere, one night a DJ was playing. There is an indoor and outdoor sjared sitting area for all the stalls.

They have a big variety of stalls with mainly Asian food. Although the big variety they all seems very similar to each other.

The best one we tried was the Korean one.

The grilled meat was nice as well.

There is also a bar where you can take a drink.

Think Asian food court in Spain (albeitly nicer designed space and better ambience).

This is a good place for husbands / boyfriends / sons to sit and wait it while their other fairer halves roam the streets and do their shopping.

Plenty of choices of snacks, tapas, Korean food, empanadas to keep you happy in the air-conditioned environment.

There is also a bar on the top most floor if you are just here for drinks. A good place to park your self on a hot Spanish summer.

Super tasty food! Nice place to meet up with someone and have a good conversation while drinking and eating some foodies. The place is very cool and well designed, very close to Granvia and tribunal. Restrooms were super clean !

Perfect for getting small bites between drinks on a night out. Portions are on the big side (bigger than I remember from previous visits) so you'll want to order as you go to avoid food waste. We came in the evening and there was a dj playing, adding to the overall great vibes.

Bonus: way less touristy than Mercat de San Miguel.

A classic food hall, on three floors with dozens of small independent food vendors.

I was here off hours, however, this place seems to have a great vibe. The entrance is deceiving, however 2nd floor is cool and in addition a large bar in the 3rd and 2 or 3 terraces inside.

DJ was playing good music even in the middle of the afternoon.
