Mercato Centrale has launched Bellysima, its first-ever indoor market experience designed to nurture food and non-food startups.

For years, Mercato Centrale has been the go-to platform for foodpreneurs through its outdoor night markets, helping many grow into successful restaurant brands and franchises. With Bellysima, the same incubator spirit moves indoors, offering a curated and comfortable space for shoppers and entrepreneurs.

Bellysima highlights artisan and gourmet food, healthy and organic products, and unique non-food finds such as crafts and sustainable goods. It serves as a traveling indoor hub that connects creativity, flavor, and entrepreneurship to a wider audience.

To strengthen MSME support, Bellysima is partnered with RCBC’s Tap to Phone App, enabling vendors to accept seamless digital payments while gaining exposure across high-traffic malls in Metro Manila.
