The best food markets I’ve ever visited were in Barcelona and London.
The Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, often simply referred to as La Boqueria (Catalan pronunciation: [ɫə βu.kəˈɾi.ə]), is a large public market in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona,Catalonia, Spain and one of the city’s foremost tourist landmarks, with an entrance from La Rambla, not far from the Liceu, Barcelona’s opera house. The market has a very diverse selection of goods.
Borough Market is a wholesale and retail food market in Southwark, Central London, England. It is one of the largest and oldest food markets in London, and sells a large variety of foods from all over the world.
Have you ever been to any of these two markets?
What is according to your opinion the best food market in the world?

borough market is lovely – but I think the french ones might just beat it. borough is a bit clean – but the parisian markets are terrific. this is one of my favourites: http://andmorefood.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/marche-daligre-paris/
Thank you so much! I’ve never visited any (food-) markets in France or Italy yet, looking forward to it though!

I like the feel of Italian markets very much – the one near us in Torino in particular: http://richardtullochwriter.com/2010/04/03/turin-italy-to-market-to-um-mercato/?like=1
