There's a variety of options and cuisines available, plus beers, wine and cocktails for purchase. I would leave small children at home with a babysitter, as trying to maneuver through the crowds with a stroller is just too much to deal with. We liked the tacos, burgers and pad Thai. Desserts are also available.

Not until I went to Lisbon's Time Out Market did I grow excited about my place of lodging being a…read moremere 5-minute walk from here. I'd been to other Time Out Markets, in the US, and found them places which I had little desire to return to. Not this one, to which I returned at least 3 other times. It wasn't just the easy appeal of an amply-poured glass of great wine at an equally great price, but the whole vibe of the place, featuring the best of Portugal's best. Literally, everything looked appealing here; choosing what to eat to accompany that wine? That was my sole dilemma. One side of this place has eateries that feature really well-priced nightly specials, often selling out, which gives you an idea of their popularity. I frequently found myself in another stretch of the place, opting for a wonderfully fresh sushi platter that ran about $30US. If you do nothing more than come for food and drink you'll likely not notice that there's a really wonderful, artsy shop (A Vida Portuguesa) that features unique and beautiful gifts for yourself or others. Also, a bookstore upstairs and, during the daytime, a huge farmer's market/green-grocery in another space attached to the main hall, but easily overlooked. I highly recommend this Time Out Market, even suggesting you plan your stay to be in close proximity. That's how much I liked it.

Feira da Ladra might not be the reason to go to Lisbon but if you're a flea market fan wondering…read morewhat treasures can be unearthed in that environment halfway across the world, this would be a great starting point. Occurring on Tuesdays and Saturdays, this open air flea market or, "thieve's market" (the literal translation), stretches from the bottom of one hill to the top, both sides of the street, with what's easily over a hundred vendors. I'd heard that bargaining isn't welcomed here and didn't try but even though I loved looking at everything, only a couple of things interested me enough to inquire about price. In the end, I tired of looking at everything before I ran out of everything to be looked at, but didn't come away empty-handed. A small art print was my prized-possession as well as a belief that everyone serious about vintage finds should make time for this during time spent in Lisbon.

We loved this flea market and spent a good amount of time walking around here. Several locals told…read moreus about it and I was thrilled that we were here on a Saturday and could go. There were tons and tons of vendors with all sorts of things at great prices for several city blocks with roads blocked off for pedestrians making it easy to shop. There was a nice mix of antiques and ceramics and old and new. I got a few small keepsakes as well as some totes and clothing for my daughter at fair prices. Definitely worth the visit. Plus, we walked through the charming Alfama and did additional shopping and snacking along the way. Several really cute breakfast spots can be found here.

Don't miss this place! It was recommended and so glad we went! It is set up like a warehouse with…read moredifferent restaurants and types of foods available ! It was difficult to only pick a few entrées, to try, but I think our favorite was the seafood. It was crowded and a little difficult to maneuver with a stroller when we arrived around 3 PM. A couple of us ordered food while another tried to find a table. The tables are set up for sharing and we were lucky to share ours with a wonderful family finding out we had connections to the same state in the US.

Great variety ... lots of different things to try. I want to come back and get an octopus hot dog!read more

Today I'm thankful for this, one of my favorite places to eat in Lisbon…read more It's off the beaten path, and a lot quieter and more accessible than the Time Out Market. If you're looking for a good daytime activity in Lisbon, get over here with all your friends, eat all the things, and then window shop/actually shop as you wander back toward the city center. There are a LOT of different stalls manned by very personable people, and we split up, ordered whatever we wanted, and reconvened at all of the very comfortable tables to eat everything. We had: ramen, two different steaks, rice and beans, salad, fries, oysters, shawarma, a few different baos, candied nuts, and one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. And honestly, it was all pretty affordable. There are even some cute little clothing shops, if you ever get tired of eating. I don't, really. Truly, a great stop in Lisbon.

We stopped into an organic olive oil place and the lovely and informative purveyor gave us an olive oil tasting. I mentioned the next day was U.S. Thanksgiving and we were making an all vegetarian meal. She ,wisely, suggested we check out their selections of organic wines. We bought a red and a white and a white that were excellent. They accepted credit cards .I'm told there is a good farmer's market there on Saturday's. Some basic Portuguese was needed for the vegetables vendor but the young woman in the olive oil store offered to speak English. This was a fun experience we won't forget.

Not a ton when it comes to prepared food for you to sit and consume but their selection of fruits and veggies are absolutely gorgeous!

Alas, on a Friday late-morning, even the marketplace was only half full (if that!) of vendors. Many of the restaurant stalls (which line the perimeter of this circular structure with glass windows) were open, but with very little activity--workers killing time looking at their phones. (Bloop!) The entire indoor farmers' market was peculiarly devoid of customers, making for a very "hollow" sounding atmosphere in that high-ceilinged rotunda. That said, the produce, poultry, fish and butcher stalls that were open all looked fresh and wonderful. Still, though, we left mostly unimpressed by its morgue-like ambiance. Perhaps the weekends are more lively??? Unfortunately, we won't have time to return to the Mercado de Arroios anytime in the near future to perhaps see a different side, so it is what it is....
