About Time Out Market
The gourmet food hall created inside Lisbon's historic Ribeira market, showcasing the best chefs and products of the city under one beautifully restored iron roof.
The Time Out Market, Mercado da Ribeira, is one of the most influential food market concepts in the world, having spawned imitators from Miami to London since it opened in Lisbon in 2014. Located in the historic Ribeira market building near Cais do Sodré, a great iron-roofed hall that has served as Lisbon's central produce market since 1882, the Time Out Market transformed the historic space into a curated food hall where some of Lisbon's most celebrated chefs and food artisans operate side by side. The concept was simple: rather than inviting anonymous food vendors, Time Out Portugal's editors hand-picked the best restaurant and food concept in each category, the best bifanas, the best piri-piri chicken, the best pastel de nata, the best petiscos, and offered them a counter in the market. The result is a place where you can eat food of genuine quality in a beautiful historic setting, with counters run by Michelin-starred chefs such as Henrique Sá Pessoa and José Avillez sitting alongside artisan producers, wine bars, and seafood stalls. The market also hosts a cultural programme of concerts, talks, and exhibitions.
Did you know? Since opening in 2014, the Time Out Market concept has been replicated in cities worldwide including Miami, New York, London, and Dubai.
