A Theatrical Food Market

Surprises await on every floor of this food market, where displays of fruit and veg stretch from one end to the next. Take for example, the restaurant by talented chef Beatriz Gonzalez. Or even the vaulted wine cellar, paired nicely alongside the best in artisanal hams and cheeses. Everything here is designed to tantalise the taste buds and can be sampled there and then, in the inviting surroundings of this theatrical concept store.
