Review of Time Out Lisboa

If you come to Lisbon you MUST go to the Time Out ...

If you come to Lisbon you MUST go to the Time Out Market! We went twice we enjoyed it so much. For all Lisbon's history, monuments and lovely winding hilly streets this place is a wonderful modern, social food palace. I'm just glad friends told us about it before we came or we may have missed out. My advice - go for your evening meal here but do what the Portuguese would do and don't eat before 9pm!! If you arrive at 9.30pm although still busy you will probably get a seat for two of you. If in a group arrive after 10pm. It's a melee of some of the tastiest street food Lisbon has to offer all under one roof. Find a seat amongst the long benches and then send out someone as a satellite to bring back bits of food and drink from stalls that interest you. Repeat this several times until you can barely move. We went on a Monday (and Tuesday) evening and it was very busy but we loved the bustle and we stayed there till nearly midnight both times.
