Every Saturday from 7 AM to 2 PM, Jaime C. Velasquez Park becomes the lively Salcedo Saturday Market—a beloved weekend ritual for both locals and visitors. The air fills with cheerful chatter and the rich aromas of global street food, from Mexican birria to Moroccan tagine and Cantonese roast pork. With over 140 vendors, it’s a vibrant feast for the senses.

Wander through stalls brimming with artisanal cheeses, organic produce, freshly-baked goods, and gourmet coffee. It’s a fantastic opportunity to gather unique delicacies. Guests at The Picasso can enjoy the convenience of their in-room kitchenette to assemble a gourmet lunch with their market finds.

Don't let a little drizzle deter you. The market thrives even on overcast days, with many stalls safely under tents. A quick downpour is the perfect excuse to linger longer over a hot cup of locally brewed coffee. Afterward, you can head back to the comfort of your room at our Makati boutique hotel, one of the most conveniently located hotels near Greenbelt, Makati, and perfectly positioned for a post-market shopping trip.
