A Gourmet Food Hall in a Historic Setting
Housed inside the striking modernist building of S’Escorxador, a former slaughterhouse turned cultural hub, the Mercado Gastronómico San Juan is Palma’s answer to the modern European food hall. It combines history, architecture, and a buzzing food scene all under one roof.
A Culinary Playground
This gourmet market features around twenty stalls serving everything from tapas and paella to Asian street food, gourmet burgers and freshly shucked oysters. Alongside the food, a wide choice of wines, craft beers and cocktails make it an equally good place for a casual lunch or a lively evening out.
More Than a Market
Mercado San Juan is as much about atmosphere as dining. Communal tables encourage a social, shared experience, while events and live music often add to the vibrant energy. The building itself, with its restored early 20th-century industrial design, gives the space an unmistakable character.
