We arrived to Legazpi Sunday Market around 10am and it was already bustling with people, especially around all the food stalls. It was nice to see a variety of things to eat or drink and even purchase like handmade clothing, bags, and trinkets. Since the market is right by the park, you have access to the restrooms and places to sit and eat. So we ended up staying in this area for a good few hours. We had a pleasant time, so we highly recommend checking it out! read more

Outstanding Sunday market if you want to stroll a bit and have a bite. The vendors were all extremely friendly, especially the chicharron tita who adopted me on the spot. While it initially appears very small, it's like Harry Potter waved his wand with the spell to make the inside of the tents bigger. It was a veritable maze of delicious goodies. Great spot to walk off a long flight and take in the local eats. read more

Legazpi Sunday Market is a cute farmer's market in the middle of Makati. Open Sunday mornings with plenty of stalls, vendors here offer fresh food, handcrafted items, artwork and more! The area is not overly large but there are so many options and it's super fun to interact with all the vendors. Many creative artisans sell their handicrafts here and you can also pick up farm fresh fruit, veggies, seafood, coffee, artisanal ice cream, refreshing beverages, or other delicious street/cart foods. I love that the sellers really take pride in their creations too! Glad I got to stroll around during my visit to Makati! read more

I was very excited to check out this Sunday morning market on my last day in Manila, but I was slightly disappointed in how small it was with limited selections. The market was set up in a relatively compact parking lot area. The market is mostly food stands with various SE Asian cuisines/street foods, and artisanal selection is just a couple of stands. I recommend going early to get the food fresh! read more

We had a 12 hour layover in Manila so we came here Sunday morning after breakfast. There were a bunch of stalls with food, homemade scarves, soaps, bags made of reused rubber tires, jewelry, toys, etc. They absolutely had a ton of things to choose from. We had eaten across the way at Toby's Estates so I wasn't too hungry. However, my husband did try the churros. He ordered 6 for himself! And the guys were quite shocked and asked a couple of times if he was sure. Americans are used to super large portions. That's why we are fat and big compared to the rest of the world! I loved that there was all the fresh, organic fruits that I love! A lot of my favorite fruits growing up here during the summers: jackfruit, santol, rambutan, etc. I was shocked to see how big the avocados are here! And how expensive cherries are! I picked up a bar of soap from here, which I'm excited to try when I go home! There's so many neat things to buy and try here, from food to handmade goods. It's a good place to pick up snacks and gifts to bring back home to the US. There were a lot of handmade bags, table runners, placemats, jewelry, etc. It's definitely smaller and really packed compared to the other farmers markets that we have in the US. But, obviously, this spot is a converted parking lot during the weekend. read more

It is my first time to visit Legazpi Sunday Market today! It's a typical hot summer day but it just felt warmer, probably because of the cooking goin' on. I was thinking of rating it 4 stars because of the heat... but hey, I figured, it's really just part of the experience. Maybe some cooling fans won't hurt. Now about the food, there is just a crazy variety out there and even picky eaters would definitely find something to eat. I was craving for spicy so I went for Warung Indo's beef rendang and chicken satay plate. It blew my mind away, it's amazing! It's just the comfort food I needed for the day. The lady got me some eggplant, tofu to go with my Indonesian food plate. I'd definitely go back to that Indonesian food stall. I decided to have some Don Churro and some banana-chocolate cake afterwards. It is all worth the discomfort of the summer heat, I tell ya. I washed it all down with cool lemonade. I would've gone for ice cream but I decided to hop back to my car for some serious A/C. I can't get over this experience today. Mad warm out there (stay cool ans hydrated!)..? I am ashamed to have tried Legazpi Sunday Market so late in my life!!! But hey, more Sundays to fully explore this magical place. read more

So many selections! The ones I tried earlier: 1. Frangos' Peri-Peri Chicken - Meal is super sulit for P150: 1/4 chicken with Frangos rice and mango salsa. Order took a while because there was a long queue--most of which was for takeout and since you seem them roasting the chicken then and there. 2. Stanford x Shaw's Ginger Ale - Best paired with Frangos chicken! Might be a bit expensive for P100 a cup, but the ginger ale has a great kick and fizz to cut through the greasy stuff I was having. 3. Don Churro's Churros - Ordered the 6pcs. with Chocolate Dip and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. This also kinda took a while, but it was WORTH IT. The churros had a super crispy crust that leads to a chewy but soft and rich core. The chocolate dip which was in a huge cup that was more than enough for the six churros, had the right balance of bitter and sweet. It was super warm and rich and gooey, almost gave me a heart attack just watching the server pour it on the cup. Just a few things the market could improve on for a bette experience: - More seats and tables for diners - More fans for better ventilation Overall though, one visit just isn't enough. read more

I love going to the Legazpi Sunday Market! It feels like a fiesta every time you go there, you smell the grilled food, hear the music playing, and the chatter of the people. With the live percussion played, the whole market makes me feel like I'm in a video game, repairing my gear in a major town. :D Here are a few of my recommedations: Louie, a friendly singkit guy usually in a collared shirt, sells amazing Thai pork ribs which have yet to disappoint anyone who tries them. (P180) He loves having quick chats with his customers and he'll apologize profusely if there aren't any more pork ribs because you got there too late and they sold out. The Rockin' Chef sells a fusion of Mediterranean and Asian cuisine (Medtierrasian!) and the owner, Benny, is awesome! Call it favoritism, but he's always kind enough to give me just a little bit more than the usual order. (Budget around P150 - 180 for a full rice meal.) Bad Apple is my favorite go-to dessert at the Sunday Market. They've got a lot of creative flavors, but I stick with the simple candied sprinkles. I think it brings out the taste of the caramel more. The two lovely women in charge of Bad Apple are great too! (Around P120 - 180, depending on the apple.) More of my favorites (whose stall names I can't remember) are the Applewood bacon and wagyu corned beef, the chicken and lamb shawarma, pad thai, grass-fed burgers. For drinks, freshly made dalandan juice, lemongrass tea, and a bottle of ginger ale. Dessert? Adam's Seriously Good Ice Cream is seriously good, cakes-in-a-cup are fun to make, and macaroons make a good, quick dessert. There are a bunch of dining areas scattered around the market, so you can opt to dine-in. Of course, you could also just buy your ingredients at the market and cook up something at home. But it's not all about food. The Sunday Market also sells organic make-up, some home and kitchen wares, clothes and accessories, and even some toys for the hyperactive toddler. (I've bought some organic soaps and insect repellents from the market.) Head down over to the Sunday market one weekend and see what you find! :D read more

I'm not often in Makati, and the only times I get to go to the Legazpi Sunday Market is if I've slept over at someone's house the night before. No matter how hammered I am from the night before, I make a concerted effort to be up early to have breakfast at the Legazpi Sunday Market. I love the energy that comes from all the entrepreneurs that converge here to sell their food, art, produce and other assorted bits and baubles. There's nothing more perfect than strolling around the Legazpi park, solo or accompanied, watching people and choosing your food and just absorbing all the energy of the people around you. The sheer amount of food sellers makes it really hard to choose what you want to eat. I do admit being a fan of Mr. Delicious's corned beef, the organic goods sold by Cutieverse, the sweet lady who sells vegan dishes, as well as Adam's Ice Cream, specifically the First Lady's Fantasy! The only thing about going to Legazpi on a Sunday later than breakfast is that the heat can reach pretty unbearable levels. It also gets really difficult to find a seat - but sometimes, there are kind people that let you share a table with them. read more

Legazpi Sunday Market - Impromptu drum circle at the Legazpi Sunday Market! - Specialty Food Near Me - Makati, NCR

I usually do all my marketing on Saturdays, whether it be in Makati or anywhere else. I wondered though, what market I could go to on a Sunday. And yes, you got it right, Legazpi Sunday Market! They've got all sorts of different food for sale, even superfoods; as well as local non food products such as slippers, bags, herbs, baby products, etc! I've only had the choice to go there once and I was in the mood to have some shawarma. Although there were so many food options to choose from, I gave into my shawarma craving. I had a Wagyu shawarma at a stall called Rafik Shawarma and I had no regrets whatsoever! It was delicious, and the meat was so soft and tasty! Best shawarma ever! Unfortunately, this was all that I was able to try at the Legazpi Sunday Market! Looking forward to many more Sunday Market visits! read more

"Why have I never been here before?!" I said to myself as I took in all the overwhelmingly wonderful sights, sounds, and smells of this other weekend market in Makati. My family has always enjoyed Salcedo on Saturdays, but (finally!) experiencing the happenings at Legazpi proved that it's never too late for one more weekly tradition! During my visit, I discovered a diverse mix of cultures and cuisines: a peppery all-American Monster Burger, Thai green chicken curry, freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, and the little bundle of Polish joy that is the pierogi. I also like how, aside from being a foodie mecca, there's a whole tent full of locally-made clothes, crafts, and other unique artsy collectibles. My mom just had to stop by this stall selling white baby-girl dresses because she said they reminded her so much of the ones I used to wear, aww. Absolutely loved wandering around here all morning. On to the next Sunday! read more

Weekends in Makati are exciting. When you're done with Salcedo Community Market on Saturday, cross on over to the other side of Makati to visit Legazpi Market on Sunday. While some of the food vendors in the both markets are the same there are a few that you can find in Legazpi that are not in Salcedo. For instance, the folks selling Gingerbrew (which you must try!), the Pinoy Tacos stall (I've been eating this since I was 8 when they first opened in Merville, Paranaque, very unique tacos) or the folks selling that really good tinapa. I also love that stall that sells beef rendang. Very spicy and tastes like its authentic Indonesian. What's unique about this community market is their dry goods section. There are a lot of artsy things you can buy from paintings to hand-crafted stuff. There's a store that sells stuff for kids, they even made a hand-sewn alphabet book. A bit pricey but I love helping out local artists. Then there's this stall that sells cute little Japanese kimonos. This is a great place to hangout on a lazy Sunday because there's more to tinker with in the dry goods section after you've had your filling meal. Go to the market early because the place tends to get filled up by lunch time. read more

I usually love spending my Sunday mornings doing things that enrich my soul, and one way for me to do this is to explore new places that promote art and culture. Legazpi Village's Sunday Market is one of those rare places that never get old for me no matter how much I visit it during sunny Sunday mornings. It is the perfect mix of artsy, fun and family-oriented. Here, you can hit many birds with one stone. You can shop for fresh produce from the organic market selections (I usually find ingredients here that are not readily available elsewhere, such as kale and fresh salad greens, freshly picked herbs, beets and beautifully ripe fruits), stock up on flowers and plants from the garden center, buy groceries and supplies from the specialty sellers and sample the best from every cuisine imaginable from the enthusiastic sellers who will oblige you with free samples if you are taking a while to decide on what to eat. You can also pick up new artwork to display in your house, get new housewares, shop for clothes, books and other collectibles, and also, have some accessories custom-made. Here, you will also find natural and chemical-free supplies such as toiletries, cleaning agents and beauty products. What I really love about the Legazpi Market is the bustle and the activity just before the lunchtime rush. There is usually a leather goods merchant (his sandals and wallets are adorable) who is quick to smile and is always willing to demonstrate his superb drumming skills. His percussions provide the background music over the din of excited shoppers and bargain hunters. I would shop around for books or art first, then decide what to eat afterwards. The air is perfumed by fresh meats and seafood grilling in the edges of the tents. I usually go for the vegan snacks and sandwiches near the vegetables and fresh produce tents, and I spend the rest of the morning people watching while sipping on fresh coconut juice. I would also indulge myself and have some artisanal homemade ice cream. Everything is in vibrant color, and here you will see Makati's quiet neighborhood park come alive. Make sure to come before the lunch hour, or the market gets quite busy and you may find it a bit hard to find open seats. You can always head to the park nearby and enjoy your food on the manicured lawns. read more

I'm not always at Legazpi Sunday Market, but when I am, I always come home with a happy haul of nutritious things to shove into my belly. Legazpi Sunday Market boasts a lineup of passionate entrepreneurs selling home cooked food from all over the globe, and organic, unique dry goods! The vibe of the market and nature goods being sold remind me of hippie food fairs and marketplaces during ye olden days, where adventurers come, avail of sustainance and be merry! Here are my two favorite Sunday Market haunts for healthy AND very delicious meals: The first is Rawlicious, which sells the greenest green smoothies in the metro. They're very rich, refreshing and filling! They don't scrimp on the ingredients and are 100% natural, raw and organic, hence they also don't scrimp on the nutrition as well. My second favorite is Leaf Kitchen Raw Food Grocer, and they serve the tastiest and freshest moroccan quinoa salad ever, despite its deceiving simplicity. Every single ingredient in the mix seems plain and unfancy, but each ingredient is of such quality that they add different and awesome individual flavors to the salad. It tastes like a healthy party in your mouth! I highly recommend it! Leaf Kitchen also sells a lot of scrumptious healthy vegan cookies. Both stalls can be found in the first tent, where the skincare vendors, flower merchants and vegetable merchants are. Dress light and don't forget the SPF! It gets quite hot. Do make sure to check out the dry goods vendors as well. There's a high chance you'll manage to score an interesting new piece to wear or decorate your home with. read more

My favorite Sundays usually begin with a trip to the open-air Legazpi Sunday Market in Legazpi Village. Filled to the brim with so many interesting and delicious finds, the market is often a breeding ground for budding entrepreneurs who want to test their food and wares to an interested and interesting market. Aside from the usual organic fruits and vegetables that can be found in any market, Legazpi Sunday Market also has a bevy or artisanal food and beverage finds that you can't usually find elsewhere. Standouts include the Singaporean food stall selling authentic Char Kway Teow, Stanford & Shaw's freshly brewed ginger ale, and Hungarian sausages. Aside from the food, local wares such as hand-stitched leather bags, organic massage oils and scents, eco-friendly cleaning agents for the home, pottery and so much more are available. Since the summer heat nowadays is unbearable, that might be the only downside to visiting the market. But if you can take the heat, go on and give the market a visit. read more

Whenever I go to other countries, I always like the idea of waking up early and going to the Farmer's Markets to see what they have to offer. I like browsing through stalls of fresh produce, flowers and unique creations by the locals. Apparently, a lot of other people like it as well as evidence by a barrage of weekly Instagram posts. I was delighted to know that Manila has its own version of a Farmer's Market, smack right in the middle of busy Makati, in a parking lot in fact. Legazpi Sunday Market has a lot to offer - food, clothes, native products, natural beauty products, herbs and plants and even Sunday Mass. Here, you can find Imang Salud - giant ensaymada maker, Pizza Morena, the yummy tapa shop, ice cream, macarons, and churros. They also have goat's milk yogurt, cheese and milk which are all very delicious and fresh. Tip! Come as early as you can, you can still park inside if you arrive by 8. After that, you have to wait outside and try your luck with street parking. read more

If you still have a hangover about your Saturday spent in Salcedo Market but don't want to wait another week to experience all the good stuff, then the Legazpi Sunday Market is perfect for you! Filled with most of the good stuff you find in Salcedo Market but also peppered with stalls that will make you drool or make you reach for you wallet just to check if you have enough money to buy everything you see, Legazpi Market is a great place to spend your lazy Sundays in. Just like Salcedo Market, they have food stalls that serves local and international cuisines. They also boast of a couple of stalls that offer produce and trinkets from the indigenous regions of the country--giving them an avenue where they can share a piece of their own culture. So from now on, I believe your Sunday's will be booked! read more

If you live in manila and you consider yourself a foodie, you cannot not go to Legazpi Sunday Market. The market is divided into 2 parts. There is the Mara's Organic Market section which offers a selection of high quality organic fruits&vegetables, edible flowers from down to earth, organic cheeses and olive oil from italy, amazing vegan popsicles from Liq My Stick, great raw vegan food from Leaf Kitchen, a ton of fresh fruit juices etc. etc. and then there is the other bigger section of the market that has a more streetfood feel to it. Browse around the aisles to find what you are looking for, there are so many gems hidden so be patient and come early. The market starts at 7am and most vendors start to pack up at 1pm. read more

I am so glad I finally made it to this place. The first Sunday I was in Manila I was suppose to come here but with my schedule jam packed, jet lag, and a crazy tiring Saturday, Sadly I ended up sleeping in half of Sunday. Once I got out of the car you hear live music, you smell the food, the sizzling sound when something is being fried, the open eating tables slowly being filled,the smile of satisfaction on their faces after taking their first bite. Then you feel the heat and you immediately look for something cold to drink. But how do you choose? There are so many to choose from. Do I want sago, different types of fruit juices, shakes, coconut?? The market is smaller than what I expected but it has a lot of variety of food stalls, hand made items from clothing, banig, jewelry, kids stuff, soaps, candles and so on. It seems like you can have your tour around the different types of food culture of the Philippines without leaving Legazpi Market and they even have some food from other Asian regions. There's one specific food vendor that we were stuck on for about 10mins trying out all their different types of Suman and they were pretty darn good. Do yourself a favor. Save your breakfast for Monday and enjoy Sunday picnic brunch with family at Legazpi Market and make sure you bring a battery operated fan, you'll need it. I honestly can't imagine anyone not falling in love with a place like this. read more
