Mercat of Villa Crespo, a different experience in the best style of European markets, in the neighborhood of Buenos Aires.

Based on the Boquería in Barcelona, ​​under the idea of ​​“More Market, Less Super”, the new largest gastronomic, creative and innovative pole in Argentina was inaugurated in Villa Crespo.

Here, you will find a space for enjoyment and meeting to discover new products and food at very affordable prices.

Mercat of Villa CrespoIt has 2,700 m2, 3 floors and 38 exclusive premises (no item is repeated) for selected producers, a foyer and an auditorium for talks, training, cooking classes and workshops (paid and free), product launches and tastings.

This space, in the past and for many years, functioned as a handbag factory. To carry out the Mercat de Villa Crespo, the original building was maintained, which gave the market an aesthetic of metal and concrete, with exposed brick on its walls.

Inspired by the Boquería in Barcelona, ​​Mercat means Market in Catalan. It was created in Villa Crespo, given that the imprint of the neighborhood is the mixture of kitchens and communities, the basic idea of ​​this market that seeks to generate a more equitable trade by bringing the consumer closer to the producer directly. Here you will find only one option from each category, with innovative and experimental proposals. For many producers, this is their first location!
