Time Out market is overwhelming and fun. Best to come with a small group, so you can finagle a place to sit, while others in the group hunt and source for the best bites. 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. read more

There's a big difference between a Time Out Market versus a hawker market like Maxwell Food Centre in Singapore or the Tsukiji Outer Market in Tokyo. Jamie W and I have been to the smaller Time Out Markets in NYC (Union Square and DUMBO), but we could never find our footing in these places. This one has the distinction of being the original Time Out Market, so it's had over a dozen years since its opening in 2014 to develop its cred with dilettante foodies and insufferable vloggers. At the same time, the rigid conformity of the food vendors to the Time Out brand makes this place feel far removed from the family-run businesses where you can get a more authentic ambiance and for the most part, cheaper prices. Paying the equivalent of $8 for an overdecorated donut may produce momentary Instagram gratification but little else (Photo 8). That's not to say the layout here isn't well organized, but basically you're relegated to long communal tables where your movements are restricted. Being elbows-to-elbow with famished, arm-waving tourists is not ideal. We were even here during off-peak hours, so I'm presuming it becomes more chaotic and cacophonous during lunch and dinner rushes, especially with the reverberations created from the high ceilings (Photo 9). With dozens upon dozens of food choices, this place is ideal for large groups who have no interest in exploring their own dining options, the ones who are perfectly satisfied with hanging out in food courts in shopping malls.

Four of us stopped by for a quick drink. The inside is spacious but is long and skinny which was an interesting set up. It was easy for everyone to pay separately at different stalls. The location itself is in central Porto. There were plenty of tables and seats available. read more

Lively and lots of great options here! A little stressful with the seat yourself situation, but after 14-20min we were able to find seating for 8. Even if you find the table space it can be hard to find chairs, everyone has theirs claimed. We were there during a couple world cup games which added to the crowd. Got some ok pizzas (cheese a bit thick), excellent amazing octopus, great croquettes, tasty crispy rice, beef cheek, cocktails. Octopus was definitely a must-have! read more

An indoor food market/food hall by Time Out. It includes many small restaurants, it was so hard to choose! If you're like me and take too long making decisions on what to order, I recommend doing a little research on the restaurants and menus available beforehand! I did, and I feel like it helped my experience be better/more prepared. Of course, you may still find something you didn't plan to get ahead, but just looks too good to resist! I ended up ordering super classic dishes (I always try to do this) from two of the more I think pretty well-known spots. I got some croquettes from La Croquetteria and some Bacalhau from Miguel Castro e Silva. Both were absolutely delicious!!!! Seriously! So good. I especially liked the croquettes. Warm, crispy on the outside, melt-in-your mouth on the inside. It was pretty crowded, which I expected and didn't really mind too much. I feel like I still didn't wait too long for my food because it moved fairly quickly. However, you may have to wait for a seat to open up, so keep your eyes peeled! read more

Not until I went to Lisbon's Time Out Market did I grow excited about my place of lodging being a mere 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. read more

Decent place to get food if you're in the center of Lisbon. Located in Cais do Sodre, this is a tourist trap for sure. The food options are vast but if you're looking for authentic Portuguese food that isn't overpriced, this isn't the spot for you. Unfortunately we decided to stop here and learned very quickly how overpriced and overcrowded this place is. I was quite disappointed with my food choice. Lesson learned! Buyer beware! read more

A nice food hall for people who want to eat different things. There's so many options from seafood to pizza to Asian food to Mexican food. There are to 2 bars located on both ends of the market and so much seating available. There are so many dessert places as well. Definitely something available for everyone. Some of the food we got was good and some was just alright. There was nothing super exceptional to me. Pricing is pretty average I would say. There are people walking by cleaning up as well, which is super nice. Nice spot to check out, but I'm sure you'd find better food elsewhere. read more

Ever since it opened in 2014, the market has been a popular place for visitors. It has 26 restaurants, 8 bars, and a dozen shops. It was quite busy, but we were able to find a place to sit- communal tables. We checked out two places. The first was Miguel Castro e Silva for the bacalhau à brás. Then for dessert we had the pastel de natas at Manteigaria. Overall, we had a nice time here. read more

Great place to come and try and see so many different kinds of food. The only reason why I dropped it a star was because you see so many tiny flies flying around which makes me worry about the cleanliness. Love the vibe though even though it's really noisy and you can't talk to your friends. I had the roast suckling pig from Henrique Sa Pessoa and it was so tender with a nice crisp skin 5/5! Friend had the octopus on mashed potatoes and a slice of cod from Joao Sa. The octopus was so tender but the cod was a bit salty. octopus 5/5. cod 3/5. Hubs had daily special of bream, black orzo and fennel from Joao Sa. I wasn't impressed with to the bream. Would give it a 3/5. The sangria tho had a punch! Time out market is definitely a foodie destination to try the best of the best in one place! Definitely worth a stop for you yelp foodies! So worth it! read more

My family absolutely loved Time Out Market. We went to see the beautiful tile work at the Sao Benito train station and popped into the market since it was raining - perfect find to accommodate everyone's wishes for their last meal in Portugal! My dad and brother were able to grab some typical tripe stew at one stand, I was able to grab delicious mussels and my absolute favorite Brazilian dish - moqueca - at another stand. There were a ton of people due to the rain but we were still able to find seating altogether at the communal tables. It's very clean, there are employees cleaning the tables at all times. And how wonderful is it that you can try food from 1-star and 2-star Michelin chefs at different food stalls?! All for incredibly reasonable prices! If we had more time, I would have come back and tried several different stalls. Definitely a great option for groups of people! read more

Awesome place for our group of 11. By sheer luck we found seating for 9 and everyone was happy with the variety of places to eat. Huge sitting area, but fills up on weekends so go with and grab any available seats. A bit on the pricey side, but we enjoyed the experience. read more

Very very crowded! It was easy to get a seat as long as you keep an eye out. Most food stalls have some sort of lines and they'll give you a buzzer that lets you know when your food is ready. I ordered sushi and it took about 20min which was fine since we walked around looking at other food. My BF ordered a pizza and it was pretty good! It's thin crust which is what we prefer and took 10-15 min. read more

A food hall that serves alcohol, perfect. Upon walking in for the first time, it's pretty overwhelming. Ppl talking and meeting, music overhead. I seriously did not know where to start. You have so many food options from apps only, entrees only, dessert only or all of it on one spot. Prices were on a little higher you get a buzzer to come and get it when it's ready. Food quality good and fresh and all are made to order. We ordered 2 entrees, sangria, coquettes and of courses, cured ham. We were stuff leaving as we did not walk to waste take it back to the hotel. A great spot for locals and visitors too. Alcohol in one form or another is also sold at some of the stalls. Plenty of chairs to sit and there are so many communal tables and enjoy your food you ordered. Love the vibe there. Will be back. read more

Stopped in during our trip and came closer to the end of the night so some businesses were already closed inside and almost all outside of the main hall were closed.

It's like a hawker market but in Portugal! I enjoyed the variety that they had to offer here but everything I tried here was good but not memorable and quite expensive for what they were. Service is also no frill and kind of slow...they have a good selection of food options and cuisines here but definitely feels touristy. read more

Loved it here! There are 30+ restaurants, bakeries and bars. If you're looking for a variety of options, I'd recommend stopping here. I had cod, potatoes, drinks and pastries here. Everything I tried was incredible and fresh. I'd highly recommend stopping here. read more

Tourist trap like most others have said. What's sad is that Europe is starting to fill up with repurposed warehouses-turned-foodhalls selling upcharged food with mediocre quality and quantity. Theres always one in any city and none are unique except the one in Madrid. Fun to people watch but that's about it. read more

It's a pretty touristy spot with a lot of different cuisines to try. Since it's a tourist food hall, the prices here are going to be higher than restaurants outside. Plus it's food court seating, so if you don't care to do some food crawl here it's definitely more worth it to go to an actual restaurant. It's very convenient to get to by transit, and under 30 mins walk if you're coming from Chiado. Not a bad place to explore, especially if the weather isn't very good, but not worth the higher price when there are so many great restaurants within walking distance in the area. read more

Incredible selection of reasonably priced food. You can find almost anything here, including those ghastly barnacles and other freaky sea life that should be left in the sea! Bleck! ;) TIPS: - Have someone scout out some spots to sit and eat at, whilst you order, otherwise it could be a little stressful if you're there during peak times. - Go to Cafe de Sao Bento for an irresistible steak with an incredible sauce - Go to Liberta Pasta Bar for insane pasta! read more

It's definitely a must try at least once. It is very chaotic inside but the food options are plenty and the food quality is amazing. There are options for low table seating on cubes or high tops. This place is tough with babies thought not discouraged. It does get crowded and it's best if you go with someone who can help scout for seating as you go and get food. A bit of team work efforts are needed. There are a few bussers that are trying to go through and clean up the tables and dishes as quickly as possible but. But at peak times it does get overwhelming with the slower turnover. If you aren't STARVING and have some time (and patience)- definitely add this place to your list as a stop. We came with babies so it was tough to get seating and couldn't find high chairs though we heard they had some. read more

Go hungry! There are so many things to try there , from pastry to sardines. My travel companion and I started with dessert, Ginginha and a pastel de nata. That became a thing for us. After perusing the gift shop, and checking out every one of the many options, we decided on the sardines. I ordered in my bad Portuguese and the purveyor chuckled and said he spoke English. So many people there did, so ordering was easy. I bought some truffle candies for friends we were staying with and my companion got to try some fresh oysters. Unfortunately I was not hungry enough to try more of the seafood, but will go back on my next trip to Portugal. It's a lively and fun place. read more

One of the absolute eating meccas in Lisbon with a huge variety of stalls to pick and choose from. Many of those in my group opted for some of the famous pork sandwiches here and were definitely not disappointed. The shopping area was also spacious with plenty of different options to choose from. There's also nice dessert shops here to choose from in case you didn't get an egg custard or two during your trip, etc. The main issue was simply this place gets pretty crowded between the explosion of locals and tourists converging around lunch time ... and on the weekends it can get crazy. I would suggest coming early or not during peak hours if you don't want to get overwhelmed or want to find a place to sit and eat. read more

TIME OUT MARKET Time Out Market is a bustling market located along the popular waterside Cais do Sodré, with local artisans peddling handmade goods outside on the streets, and dozen of diverse food vendors offering every libation you could possibly think of inside. At around noon on a Saturday, the market was almost completely full to the brim with people, despite having hundreds of seats at long, bartop-style tables inside. The market's interior is stunning, juxtaposed with its rather stark exterior appearance of being an imposing black building. It appears to be a factory that has been carved out to house sleek wooden tables and industrial-chic architecture, with metal rafters and translucent panels letting in ample natural light from outside. The cavernous ceilings only exacerbate the sounds of hundreds of tourists milling about, so I wouldn't try having a quiet conversation here! The food options are nearly endless, ranging from American/Continental brunch fare to more typical traditional Portuguese cuisine, to even Asian BBQ-style meats! There's even cooking classes available at a station amidst the market. While there is truly something for everyone, there was practically a ten-minute line at every food stall, and prices are more expensive than you'd typically find, as this is a popular tourist destination. It took us around 10 minutes to wait in line to order, and another 15 to get our food, which was fine because it was actually quite an ordeal to find a table! We decided to eat standing up at a high-top table, since we were unable to find enough chairs for our party of five. I opted for a salad with jamon iberico (around 13 euros) from one of the more Portuguese-leaning stalls. It came with a generous amount of jamon and strawberries perched atop arugula and leafy greens - it was the perfect light post-plane meal. However, when I asked for dressing on the side, they were not able to accommodate my request, so the salad itself was quite oily. It was also supposed to come with figs, although I only received one fig in my salad! Some of my friends opted to try the classic Francesinha, a traditional Portuguese sandwich consisting of toasted bread, steak, ham, and melted cheese, topped with a ladleful of gravy (although we got takeout, so the gravy came on the side in a little cup). This was certainly quite a heavy dish, and I'd imagine it would be a good bar food, but we ultimately found it a bit too rich for our taste. Overall, Time Out Market is truly a spectacle to behold, and I would certainly venture in just for a peek - I think there's plenty of other better food spots in the area to curb your hunger cravings, but this is a unique spot for photos and sightseeing, and if there's one thing to try, it's authentic pastel de nata from Manteigaria at the edge of the market - review to be posted later! read more

We went on a Sunday late afternoon/early evening around 4:30-ish. There was a crowd but not super packed. We went through every single stall before deciding. So many tasty options! We ended up with a Duck Rice Sunday special from Marlene Viera and Ramen dish from Joao Sa. Both were delish. We also tried a couple croquettes with lamb filing and the Portuguese traditional flavor of sausage & veggies. All dishes came out fast and we both felt they were priced accordingly. The Port wine and the Apple cider were there to wash them all down. For desserts, we got the Ricotta with honey & walnut, which rounded up the amazing dinner. They had a live DJ and the dance floor was filled with people. Great vibe and great food! read more

Pros: Decent variety of vegetarian food. Great touristy vibe, efficient and quick service Cons: So busy you will not find a place to sit during peak times. We waited close to 20 minutes. We ordered a few items from Asian lab-- Pad Thai, vegan dumplings, and Pakora Bao. Also, the vegetarian croquettes from Croqueteria! One was the goat cheese and caramelized onion flavor and the other was vegetable curry. Food was on-point. Wrapped up with some delicious pistachio and stracciatella gelato. Amazing. read more

Highly recommend sitting in the area/hallway behind the restaurant sections rather than in the middle. It was hard to find a seat/table even at 2-3pm on a weekday. Seems that plenty of tourists and locals come to the time out market. We ate at Monte Mar and loved the grilled squid and octopus dishes. We ordered and paid then waited for our food which took only about 15 minutes. We also picked up Monteigaria pastel de nata and empanadas from one of the stalls near the fresh market. Value for food given portion sizes was good. read more

Timeout Market Lisbon. She's not just a food hall, she's a live performance. It's like Lisbon's greatest reality show, but edible. Pastel de Nata? Obviously. Octopus everything? Yep.

It's loud, it's packed, and it's an absolute A+ for judging strangers while pretending to work. Come hungry, be petty. Ha! read more

There are a ton of places to eat with pretty much everything can think of and it is super super busy with people of all ages. Very cool spot! Tried crozida and goat cheese croquettes at croqueteria. They were ok. Goat cheese one was better. Also tried the roasted grouper at pinoquio and the fish with sauce and potatoes were really good. The onions were very undercooked and beware of very tiny bones all around. Also tried Asian lab and their chicken pad Thai was very good and good portion especially for the price. If I could order something else I would have ordered at the fresh fish place the sea bass, squid and shrimp combo that looked pretty good. read more

Mediocre food, expensive and crowded. No AC, pretty typical in Portugual but they should considered adding more fans. Ordered garlic shrimps - super chewy. The bifana sandwich was small and dry. Liberta Pasta bar is the best option there. Ordered homemade pasta with red sauce and my kid inhaled it in minutes. They also have an outdoor patio space with misting system. Thank you me later when you're there during the heatwave. Another ok place is the sushi joint next to the pizza shop. Time out at Porto is ten times better! read more
