Where do we begin? We could wax lyrical all day about the rich culture of this country, from art to architecture, and of course, food. Compared to gastronomic meccas such as San Sebastian, which boasts the highest concentration of &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/michelin-star-restaurants-asia-211701.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Michelin&#60;/a&#62; stars in the world, the capital city of Madrid has never been Spain&#039;s most illustrious destination for food, but it offers food markets, which are vibrant, lively, and full of delectable treats.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Located in the centre of Madrid within walking distance from the Plaza Mayor, Mercado de San Miguel or the San Miguel Market is the most famous market in Madrid. The iconic market, which has been declared a Property of Cultural Interest, was originally constructed in 1916. In 2003, it was purchased by private investors who commenced a major, expensive restoration process. It reopened in 2009, retaining its historic iron structures. Far from being a traditional market, the present-day Mercado de San Miguel is a modern gourmet venue, with more than 30 unique vendors selling a wide variety of premium local produce. Besides being able to do day-to-day grocery shopping, the fun part is really in the food stalls, which sell a smorgasbord of freshly prepared &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/spanish-restaurants-bars-kuala-lumpur-211431.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;tapas&#60;/a&#62;, seafood, cheese, and pastries, just to name a few. Beverages such as &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/156464-156464.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;mojitos&#60;/a&#62;, sangria, and wine are also available. Moreover, tourists can rub shoulders with locals, with whom the market is an equally popular spot.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;If you&#039;re headed to&#160;Mercado de San Miguel, grab a bite at this list of eight must-visit stalls and enjoy the buzzy Madrid atmosphere!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Mercado de San Miguel is located at Plaza de San Miguel, s/n 28005, Madrid.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;It is open from 10am to 12am from Mondays to Wednesdays and on Sundays, and from 10am to 2am from Thursdays to Saturdays.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Rachel Zheng&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: Mercado de San Miguel Twitter&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/travel/destination-accomplished/europe/mercado-de-san-miguel-madrid-268709.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/travel/destination-accomplished/europe/mercado-de-san-miguel-madrid-268709.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		You heard it from us first. Prague is a food heaven that nobody knows about yet! <media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>

The Czech Republic, with its capital in Prague, is another European country that more people are visiting.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Prague itself has much to see and do, and is best known for attractions like the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, and astronomical clock. Fans of &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/travel/destination-accomplished/asia/unique-hotel-buildings-singapore-189588.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;architecture&#60;/a&#62; will relish the Gothic castles and cathedrals, while history buffs can explore the Jewish quarter. Art and literature lovers will not be left out either, as the Czech Republic has produced famous personalities such as Alfonse Mucha and Franz Kafka.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;However, when it comes to food, many people draw a blank. The impression that most tourists have of Czech cuisine can be summarised succinctly in two words &#8211;&#160;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/medical-news/beer-71428.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;beer&#60;/a&#62; and meat. There&#039;s also the danger of tourist traps, which promise authentic food but literally leave a bad taste in the mouth. In reality, Prague is home to amazing aromas and flavours. The best of traditional Czech food has a comforting, home-style quality, which can be sampled in dishes such as&#160;&#60;em&#62;sv&#237;čkov&#225;&#60;/em&#62;, which is made up of braised beef slices in cream sauce with cranberries and&#160;&#60;em&#62;houskov&#233;&#160;knedl&#237;ky&#60;/em&#62;&#160;(Czech bread&#160;dumplings). At the same time, modern dining concepts are also emerging, with updated versions of&#160;&#60;em&#62;chlebicek &#8211; &#60;/em&#62;classic Czech open-faced sandwiches, English-inspired &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/best-british-pub-food-singapore-216884.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;pub grub&#60;/a&#62;, and &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/5-new-fusion-cuisine-restaurants-in-singapore-168672.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Asian fusion&#60;/a&#62; plates. With so many caf&#233;s and restaurants in Prague, the food scene is certainly flourishing.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;From quick tasty eats to authentic Czech cuisine, we&#039;ve put together a list of ten amazing restaurants in Prague, the foodie capital no one knows about &#8211; yet. You&#039;ll thank us later.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Rachel Zheng&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo:&#160;Na&#353;e Maso&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/travel/destination-accomplished/europe/restaurants-prague-foodie-capital-268635.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/travel/destination-accomplished/europe/restaurants-prague-foodie-capital-268635.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>
