Tripea, Vallehermoso Market

The 14 seats of Vallehermoso's only table-bar establishment, Tripea, are the most in-demand. This restaurant, or bar—whatever it may be—owned by Roberto Martínez Foronda raises the bar of gastronomy up to Vallehermoso's roof. Roberto is often seen shopping at the market's stalls, later cooking dishes that are based on traditional Spanish cookery—such as stews and broths—with a Peruvian or Asian twist, and a deliciously international flavor. All in full view of his customers.

Vallehermoso Market is a feature of Madrid's Chamberí neighborhood. Since 1933, it has maintained the same philosophy it had when its doors first opened: to offer quality products. Now it operates under a new structure where visitors can not only shop, but also go for tapas, lunch, or dinner in its wide range of eateries.
