The Corner Market—first indoor farmer’s market with food hall

The Corner Market, the country’s first-ever indoor farmer’s market and food hall, is now open on the second level of The Podium. Inspired by La Boqueria in Barcelona, the Torvehallerne Market in Copenhagen and the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne, the space spans 1,200 square meters, with 17 different merchants and a dining area that can accommodate 450 people.

Foodies will be delighted with The Corner Market’s Catch of the Day by Cold Storage, and The Meat Depot, where customers can choose their own seafood or meat cut and have it cooked on the spot.

Fresh produce, flowers and graband-go salad are available at Gusto, where everything is sourced from the Ojedas’ family farm in Rizal.

The curated mix includes local, emerging brands and one-of-a-kind concepts. These include Sari Salo by Myron with homegrown hits such as

inasal sisig and Angus beef tapa, and Inari by Hamaru’s modern Japanese cuisine.
