What You Can Find – Gourmet Portuguese cuisine, fresh seafood, artisanal products, wines, craft beer, cooking classes, live events
Address – Mercado da Ribeira, Avenida 24 de Julho, 3-minute walk from Cais do Sodré Metro station
Inside the historic Mercado da Ribeira building at Cais do Sodré on Avenida 24 de Julio, Time Out Market Lisboa opened in May 2014 as the first of several planned food hall ventures for Time Out magazine (and there are now a total of 11 open around the world).
This revolutionary concept transformed half of the 19th-century market building into a curated food paradise featuring around 36 restaurants and kiosks selling regional specialties, with five top Portuguese chefs including Alexandre Silva, Miguel Castro e Silva, Marlene Vieira, João Rodrigues and Henrique Sá Pessoa. The other half continues to operate as a traditional fish and produce market until 2pm each day, with vendors selling super-fresh wares for much less than at nearby grocery stores.

The market also features specialty canned fish stalls, wine bars, and craft beer on tap.

As one of Lisbon’s oldest markets, Feira da Ladra is held twice weekly at Campo de Santa Clara in Alfama. The market has a rich history dating back to the 13th century, with its name translating to “Thieves’ Market” reflecting earlier days when stolen goods were commonly sold here.

This market gained fame when Anthony Bourdain featured it in his “No Reservations” show, calling it “a traditional market where the suppliers do the selling”. The market became an essential supplier during the pandemic and offered home delivery services to neighborhood residents.
The market offers fresh fish straight from the auction, fresh vegetables, flowers, plants, women’s and children’s clothing, and features a stall with exotic spices.

Planning Your Market Adventure
Lisbon’s markets offer something for every taste and budget. Each market has its own character and specialties and reflects the diverse neighborhoods they serve and the evolution of Lisbon’s commercial culture.
For the best experience, visit food markets early in the morning when produce is freshest and crowds are smaller. Flea markets and weekend markets tend to be busiest during mid-morning to early afternoon hours. Bring cash, as many vendors don’t accept cards, and don’t forget to practice your bargaining skills at flea markets.
