Brindisa
Borough Market, Floral Hall
London, England, SE1 9AF, United Kingdom
Inside Borough Market’s Floral Hall, Brindisa sells an assortment of high-quality Spanish food items every Tuesday through Saturday. The shop began as a tiny stall in 1988 and expanded to its current space in 2005, offering a variety of artisan cheeses, olive oils, Calasparra rice, Spanish almonds, conserved tuna, anchovies, chocolate, and turrón (Spanish nougat). The store also specializes in Serrano and Ibérico ham and even has a ham carving school that enables students to taste a variety of meats and wines while learning expert preparation techniques. Tapas Brindisa, the company’s celebrated restaurant, is located in the marketplace, as well.
Insider Tip:
Don’t be deterred by the long line at Brindisa’s Chorizo Grill, situated just outside the store; the wait is worth the signature chorizo sandwich, served on ciabatta with piquillo peppers.
