The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Eixample
Passing through the glorious Plaça Catalunya, you enter the newer city district of Eixample, literally translated as “extension,” which immediately becomes recognisable by its more spacious streets and elegant atmosphere. The main artery of this sizable district, Passeig de Gracia, is lined with high-end international designer stores. Not to be outdone, the glitz and glamour of this zone is perhaps best exemplified by the comfortable and lavish five-star hotels that flank the divine and modernistic buildings from some of the world’s most recognised architects such as Gaudi and Montaner.

This is not a huge market but it has a good selection of meats, fish, vegetables, charcuterie, etc. And unlike many of the larger markets in the center of Barcelona this one doesn't cater to tourists, most of the shoppers are locals. There is even a wine stand that sells wine directly from the barrels.
Products tend to be fresh and of good quality and prices average for the area. The floor below the market holds Mercadona, a very large supermarket with everything one may need.
Try to have lunch at one of the several dinning areas, many of which are an extension of the merchant's stands, they have only a few tables, or in some cases you can eat at the counter. We had a great menu del dia at MB's in a corner of the market, attached to a butcher's shop with about 8 small tables. Good food, well prepared, three plates and a drink for 16.50 euros. The service was excellent, friendly and on top of everything, they actually cared that you enjoyed your meal.

This is a great place to spend time wandering around without the masses of other more famous Barcelona markets. Stalls are set out like works of art and then there are the eateries.
We chose La Medusa. 7 of us including young children sat watching in wonder at the food preparation in this open kitchen
Staff were super helpful. The prawn wrapped in vermicelli type noodles was amazing but the consensus came out on favour of the seared tuna. Excellent Cava.

Much less touristy than the famous Mercat de Bodequeria & in my opinion that made it a more pleasant experience. Full of locals. Prices cheaper too.

After tree years of the COVID epidemic, we were worried that the legendary seafood restaurant "Medusa 73" might not still be at the Nitot Market. Happily it is still there, and we had an enjoyable lunch of Paella, and squid, washed down with a good Dry White wine. Our waitress, Tere, was efficient and friendly.
Give "Medusa 73" a try; you will not be disappointed!

In the l'Eixample area it’s a great outlet of freshness and healthiness. Replete with corridors and stalls heaving with fine foods it is busy from morning time onwards.
Interesting that it was open air till 1933, and it has undergone a number of revampings. Likewise it has had a number of name changes, and has adopted its popular name since democracy’s arrival.

Recently had a few days in Barcelona, thankfully left before lockdown. After a bit of research located this market, very few tourists mainly locals.
Clean friendly place.
Visited various places to eat all excellent for different reasons, I always try order in the local language and had a fantastic reaction to speaking Catalan, this I found to really help through out the trip.
We would totally recommend to visit.

Not nearly as busy nor as well stocked with flashy tourist stuff as La Boquitiera on the Rhamblas but it is a very good market if you are staying in the area and wish to cook in your apartment. There are a few restaurants in the market that are worthwhile.

Perfect place to switch off from Ramblas and all touristic junk. There is a nice chicken place inside (roughly in the middle of the market) with a wide variety of chicken burgers. The chef cooks in front of you whilst having friendly conversations. The burger was delicious, fries were ace! Nice beer and a VERY cheap bill. You stuff up with less than 10euros. I had to come back the day after!
