Bifana sandwich

We got the bifana sandwich here. It was the best thing that we ate during our travels in Portugal (Lisbon, Porto, and Lagos). The pork was so flavorful and tender, and the radish was a nice complement to the pork. The bread was also very soft and tasty. Would highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. I wish we would've gotten two sandwiches!

Roasted semi-salted Codfish with chickpea
Terrence S.

The Time Out Market is a known touristy spot with a lot of different international food options within. This place stood out to me with the clean looking menu, fresh looking food, and professional chefs and servers. The chef of this place is a Michellin star chef as well. I ordered one of the classics, roasted semi-salted codfish with chickpea for about 17 euros. (I only realized afterwards that there was a combo meal deal that was about 15 euros which provides an entree, drink, and dessert. I goofed big time.) I was handed a buzzer and the wait was about 30 minutes before it finally buzzed. Luckily, it took about that much time before we were able to find an open table given how crowded this area is. They take the "semi" part seriously in the semi-salted codfish, because it was a bit bland to me. It feels like a light summer dish with the chickpeas and the grainy slightly sweet puree mixed with the fish, but one of the biggest things I was not a fan of was the sourness; there was some kind of vinaigrette mixed in that was overpowering the bland fish taste. The other dishes like the suckling pig seem interesting but I don't think I would be back anytime soon. The price is high (even for USA standards), there's too many people, the wait was long, and the food was mid.

Amazing!! Hubby and I initially started in the market trying 4 different places. The next day.we came back here because their Bifana ( crispy sucking pig ) sandwich was so tender and delicious. Explosion od favors and the perfect mix of crunchy. I loved it. We always went before noons so had a bit so buy atmosphere. The employee is who recommended the sandwich to me and I was grateful for that, but I don't know if she was grumpy or if it was just the language barrier. But every time I ate that sandwich I kept thinking, damn, I'll never have this again. I need some of my Filipinos to make this! It's so yummy. Oh, the chips it's served with were not crunchy, and being that I'm not a chips fan to begin with, I ate them neither times.

The hustle n bustle of Time out Market can be overwhelming. Sensory overload to the max for a foodie: The menu at Henrique Sa Pessoa looked good so we decided to try. We called a last minute audible choosing the salmon tatake over the oxtail. The salmon, cooked to perfection, made for a great shareable option. Pro tip- eat light and each station so you can save room for other stations

Place is operational. Get the fish and chips. They have one beer on tap. It's ice cold and authentic Portuguese beer--really good. Ask for extra tarter sauce, plate only comes with a nickel size scoop.

You must try the O famoso! Roasted suckling pork served with puréed yam. It is sooooo good! Perfectly crispy skin with juicy succulent meat. They give you a butter knife to cut with and it's a little difficult but it's worth all the work! Didn't really like the puréed yam, a little bland and runny for my liking but I'd go back for the pork in a heart beat!

The pork cheeks are to die for. The service is very nice and they are the only place in my entire stay who have asked for my ID. Delicious food and secure transactions for the win!!

Suckling Pig...1st time trying
Lily L.

OMG, the food is so good. I am addicted to the suckling Pig. It is so juicy while having a crispy skin. The flavors are amazing. I've been here 3 times in one week. The 64 degree egg is great if you love soft boiled eggs and Truffle. The octopus salad is good too but not my favorite. Stop thinking about it and go get he suckling Pig!!!

24 hours confit suckling pork with sweet potato purée  It was very tender with cracking skin.
Juliana K.

Very generous portion of suckling pork with juicy meat and crackling skin. Sided by sweet potato purée. I enjoyed my dinner very much but it was a nightmare to find a place to seat in this extremely crowded market.

We went to the famous Mercado di Riberia. Since 2014, Time Out has turned this historical market into a foodie court with 35 kiosks of the city's favourite chefs and restaurants. We tried one of the country's most high-profile chefs stand: Henrique Sá Pessoa. Everything on the menu was very tempting, but I heard Henrique Sá Pessoa was the best place to get some pork dishes, so we ordered the crispy skin suckling pig sandwich with homemade pickles and the 24h confit suckling pig with sweet potato purée. We were not disappointed by any of our dishes. The pig was cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed the 24h confit, which was very moist and the crackling thin and crispy. The sweet potato purée was nice and smooth with a hint of orange which gave a bit of acidity to the dish. The only thing I didn't like about this market was the lack of space to sit down at rush hour. People were taking their seat before ordering their food, which was a issue when you had your food and couldn't find a seat to eat it.

Tatahki de Salmon over glass noodles - amazing!

A really nice find with good food, service, and live music! Space wise, it is a bit cramped but…read moregives an intimate vibe, especially with the live music! From the Rossio Square area, you have to make it up about 4 or 5 flights of stairs, passing by other eating places, but don't give up, and Solido it at the top! You will be rewarded for your perservance! It was nearing 10 pm at night when we arrived and was worried if they would have seating given the size and a Saturday night. But we lucked out and they took us in with little delay! Food was good and it came quickly - some spicy shrimps and Portugese style steak with bacon. Without asking, they brought us some fries. Not to worry about language, the staff spoke and understood English perfectly. They featured a fado player, guitar player and a singer - a really great trio and finished our evening of trying to experience a bit of the Portugese culture. So a somewhat not well known place that is a bit off the beaten path, but based on our limited sampling, we can say we really enjoyed the experience!

Staying at the nearby Casa Balthazar, I noticed Solidó featured Fado music at 7:30p and decided to…read morestop by. Thank goodness I did because I visited twice during my stay in Lisbon. You will climb up to the second floor to be seated in what looks like a large living room serviced by a dumb waiter. Don't let the size fool you, they can fit about 30-40 people in there. Lovely servers hustle to bring you appetizers, drinks (even mocktails), yummy food and desserts. I enjoyed everything from bread, olives, and olive oil with a sardine pate, to a fresh salmon filet with fresh vegetables and a "light as air" mango mousse. I could have passed on the rice and you will be charged for a large bottle of water if you ask for it. But, it's the entertainment that makes you hungry for more. I am a new fan to Fado music. Solidó is a very solid choice for wining and dining. Obrigado!

You know you're at the right place because of the HUGE "TAKEOUT" sign above. I got the chicken, creamed spinach, Brazilian rice, fries, salad, and chili sauce on the side. The chicken was delicious and juicy, though a bit salty. The creamed spinach was surprisingly good. The Brazilian rice was a surprise because it had organ meat mixed in, including what tasted like liver. I enjoyed it. The salad was pretty basic, so I'd skip it next time. The fries were soggy and disappointing, definitely not worth ordering. I also got their chili sauce for €3.50 in a small bottle, but it wasn't anything special, so I'd pass on that next time, too. My must-orders: chicken and creamed spinach. Skip the fries, salad, and chili sauce.

My favorite Portugal/Spain travel YouTuber, Tony Galvez, highly recommended this spot for this dish. Who am I to argue with Tony?? Upon arrival, there were at least twenty people in line. In a town where there are hundreds of places to eat, this in itself was notable. We cued up despite being starving. We ended up waiting maybe 20 minutes because we were a party of 2. Larger parties waited much longer. Tables are mostly in front of the restaurant. If you are self-conscious at all, something to keep in mind. Service is professional and prompt. We shared the salad misto. It was so fresh and lightly dressed, we ate the entire thing! The chicken is the star of the entire restaurant. Every table ordered it for good reason. The chicken itself is incredibly juicy and seasoned perfectly with simple salt and pepper from what I could tell. Then you spoon on the sauce and the dish just comes alive. I should have taken an after photo. My plate looked like a wild animal attacked that thing, no meat left whatsoever! We ordered the rice as our side. Great decision. It soaked up all the lovely juices and added to the whole experience. Highly recommend. Many tables ordered fries which is kind of traditional in Portugal. For dessert, I had the wonderful rice pudding, and my husband got the gelato. Generous portions! And light. Good finish for a delightful meal. Do not miss Bonjardim when in Lisbon. Just be sure to come with only one other person or split up if you want to get seated more quickly. When you see that food, you will want to get to it asap!

Plus, my 6-year old just got off our tour bus and needed a bathroom break All of our orders came out in good time and our server was very helpful and friendly. We chatted a bit about his family in California. We ordered two steaks with wine reduction sauce. Very good. One steak was over cooked but it was fine. Clams as appetizer was awesome with the house bread. One order of lasagna and I would give it a 8/10 compared to other restaurants at home. One order of pasta carbonara. It was good but not outstanding. One order of spaghetti bolognese. That one was average. We just arrived from Barcelona a few days before Lisbon and we were missing sangria so we ordered one pitcher. It's not as good as the ones in Barcelona but then again this is not Barcelona. For dessert we ordered 3 ice cream and a tiramisu. The ice cream was over-priced at 8 Euro each. Skip dessert and go get some great pastries or gelato outside around the plaza.i
