Time Out Lisboa Review

One of the best Food Markets I've ever been. A lot of different types of food, local cuisine and beverages. If you are looking for some food and you have enough of searching for some place - go there - you'll find your sure something for you.

Very noisy place where we don't feel in Portugal and nobody speaks Portuguese. And it is not cheap.

Great food, lots of selection but can get packed on the weekends

Tons of yummy food stalls to choose from. Always busy. Cafeteria feeling.

A real highlight from my trip to Portugal. Vibrant place with delicious food. Authentic buzz. Shame the there weren't enough stools for me to sit down and enjoy my food in style and comfort.

A selection if Lisbons finest, all under one roof. Fantastic offering and the prices aren't too bad considering. The vibe is frenetic and it is often difficult to get a table spot, especially on the weekend.

A thousand different flavours and experiences, best place to visit in Lisbon

Great place.. Looking forward to return for tasting other dishes

A large choice of delicatessen and typical specialities. A place to taste everything in a convivial (sometimes a bit messy and crowded) place

Overload of excellent food choices. Would need to come here several times in order to enjoy all the great foods. Definitely worth it, but also not cheap and very tourist oriented.

It's great! The place opens at 10am. If you are going for lunch I recommend getting there around 11/11:30am because the closer you get to 12 the more packed it will be. Get there, put some butts in seats and take turns browsing about the place because the place gets rammed with bodies past 12:30pm. There are so many places to try and would recommend getting a few things to share.

Nice spot with a lot of choices and flavours from all around the world.

Below average food, but the place itself is worth a visit, very nice atmosphere for a drink and a small bite, all the food stand serves more a less the same.

This court reminds me a lot of the one in Amsterdam (Foodhallen). But the difference is this one was way better!
So people please go by this place, you wont have regrets (except if you are a picky eater..)
Location, the restaurants are more focused on quality. The filet mignon we ordered was so soft/tender it was possible to cut it with a spoon. Wish we had ordered more but we were actually already full when we stopped by this Valhalla of foodcourts.

Great food! Would be 5 stars if it weren't so crowded though

Fantastic choice of local food. Possibly the best place to eat.

a bit too crowded. Food is okay. A funny and horrible experience with a pigeon perched on top of a hanging lamp that left a poo on the table, barely missing the food.

Very cool and interesting food market. So many options it was hard to choose! The gelato place was amazing

This place is a must see (and must taste) in Lisbon! A fully renovated market who managed to modernize itself while keeping the charm of old Lisbon. On one side you ll find a traditional farmers market with veggies, meat, fish, etc. On the other, an amazing food court with several options including: traditional Portuguese food, stands from famous Portuguese chefs, international cuisine such as sushi, burgers or pizzas, Portuguese wine and traditional sweets. Downside: like the rest of Lisbon these days, it s full of tourists.

So many great places to get food from. Seating is very tough!

Ok place to while away an hour whilst eating or drinking. Nothing special really about the place. Some of the food looked appetising but nothing special I don t think. Went there about 1pm nice buzz to the place and plenty of space to sit and eat and people watch.

I love this place. Lot of fresh and cooked food. It is a food paradise!!!

If you cannot decide which kind of food you want its perfect place. Burger, Pizza, Asienfood and real gourmet food is available. Its cool and modern place.

Geared to tourists. Upmarket food and wine vendors . plenty of seating. The place to go to sample classic Portuguese food. Can get crowded

Very good place to have a quick eat at Lisboa's Cais do sodre
It is a little expensive though, around 10 euros for a chef made sandwich when you could get a fully fledged meal for 6euros in any small pub outside of touristy areas
So do try it out for the experience, but it's not the real authentic deal.

A genius way to turn old market place into a sensational place to eat and drink...explore everything and try everything.

Was ok. Some things better then others. The wine shop is awesome. Lots of tasting size portions of cool vintage stuff. Asian Lab looks like it was going to be good but the pad Thai was really bad over sauced and the cook must have flamed the oil because it just tasted like burnt kerosene. The flames coming off the pan may look cool but when it's oil that's burning it doesn't taste good. sea me was solid and Marlene vieira's pork belly and clams are awesome.

I recommend going only to the Chef corner at the end to get better quality food.

Beautiful decorated, modern and great for a quick but delicious diner or snack.

Very cool. Avoid eating between 12 and 5pm toooooo crowded

Delicious food, good vibes and lots to choose from. Had to go back to try out more food. Really can't recommend this enough. Defo try the croquettes and natas....

It's a really nice place to eat, although it might be a bit expensive if you're traveling on a budget, but the food there is worth while!

Great place to kill a couple of hours. Nice food and cool thingies.

Nice Time out Markeet ... To much choices just Food

Very good food and if you know where to go you can try some of the best Portuguese chefs' creations at 1/3 of the price which you would pay in their official restaurants

Great variety in food, I specially recommend the octopus at Marlene Vieira!

It's okay for a quick meal snack and drinks. It's bit lack of local cousin.

Food here is expensive but 100% worth it. The meat, the seafood, the traditional Portuguese delicacies; all terrific. But best of all is the chocolate vendor. If you haven't tried the crispy, rich toffee-crusted dark chocolate from here, you haven't lived.

Very touristy, completely overpriced for average food. We paid 4 euros for two tiny croquettes (the size of a lindt chocolate ball) when you can get a triple the amount of croquettes that taste much better for the same price at other good restaurants in Lisbon. Go to check it out but rather eat somewhere else.

Lively but crowed w/ people. No place to eat. Unique outlets, specially the canned fish products.

A crowded food market with several stalls of deliciois foods - sushi, portugese chicken , seafood, and steaks. I would recommend you go to market side to buy some water (2 euro for 1.5litres as oppose to 2 euros for 0.5 litres at the food stalls) (from the entrance to ur right there are small shops of arts crafts and etc and they have a small shop of fresh cheeses). Its crowded and hot but good atmosphere. Fun to try.

Yes, it's a touristy place, but it also has great food and you always meet people.

Nice restaurants, you can get whatever you want here !

Good thing is that the popular market is open by midnight! If you feel hungry, check out the variety of food and drink! However, you should know that not all dishes are cheap. It definitely depends...

Very unique place, it is a must when visiting Lisbon!

Many options for eating. Usually crowded. Nice people, staff and atmosphere. Quite expensive for self service.

Considering how quiet lots of places are, this is not one of them. Things are in the expensive side, and we felt there could be more choice. All in all it's ok, however with so many great food places that is more reasonably priced I am not so keen on supporting this venue.

Cool food court at the local covered market of Ribeira

Super busy with a large selection of interesting eateries

Suggest to visualise the menu of each food stand. This will make the selection process faster when the place is crowded. Too much text on top of each food stand, and I basically don't know what to choose because everything looks all the same to me.

big street food like place. awesome but touristy place. here you get every kind of food around the world. however i suggest taking the portuguese kitchen.

Great selection of food. Classiest food court I have been in.

Overpacked, tourists price, most tables taken by people not eating while those with food cannot seat (really eating occupancy rate way below 50% on that day, on our table of 20, only 3 - three- were eating while all others blocking places for nothing), how do you say stupid in Portuguese ? Definitely not a place for "brains". Avoid my all means.

Must go here if you are in Lisboa and you love food!

Very great place for a nice lunch and chill out with friends or family. Also very family friendly as most places in Portugal. Great eating spots and the market offers fresh produce and picture perfect. Gets pretty crowded fast

Bit overpriced and pretty basic food. There are loads of better places to visit in this awesome city

Lots of spaces to sit and eat! Numerous food stalls that sell great food! Can't go wrong with anything.

Spacious place yet very crowded, almost impossible to get a seat. You can find lots of variety of food n drink but the price is obviously much higher than other local restaurants. If you happen to visit lisbon on a shxtty rainy day or you simply have too much time then just go for it; if not you don t really miss anything.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit how many times I went to the Time Out Market when I was in Lisbon for a month. So I won't. But needless to say it was a lot and I never ran out of new things to try. Having so much food from many well-known Lisbon chefs in one place made me feel like a kid in a candy store. It can be pretty tough to find a seat during peak times (read "lunch and dinner")! Keep wandering and you'll find one eventually. Don't be shy about sitting next to or across from a stranger.

Food is ok but it is a touristic attraction more than anything else

Great food and amazing beer. Burger place is really good and you can not go wrong with the sea food.

Best of the best local foods products where you can get all..

Lovely choices of food, very pricey, can struggle to find a seat when busy

A real highlight of Lisbon, well worth the visit. Great opportunity try all different types of local cuisine under one roof

A renovated venue, it is filled with express versions of the city's popular restaurants.

If this is your first time in Lisbon, try the place out to get a hint of the flair that the city offers.

Hands down one of the best food experiences in portugal. Just make sure you get a table BEFORE getting you food or risk standing up as it is a nightmare finding seats

Good for travellers who don't know where to eat. Lots of variety and decent quality. Not the best experience eating in a food court fighting for a seat.

Amazing food, good quality from good restaurants, not a typical market

Amazing food and amazing vibe!! I always come back here and I will always will! Must in Lisbon

You can avoid strolling around Portugal trying typical local food specialties. You could spend a whole couple of days here eating Portuguese food specialties and drinking wine and local beer.
Is not that cheap, but if you're familiar with Mercado de San Miguel, you know what I'm talking about.
Open for dinner later than restaurants in chiado or baixa.

Why?
A tourist trap par excellence...totally overpriced. No flair. Food court style.

Very nice place to go. Variety of food and reasonable price.

First time at the Time Out market in Lisboa, Portugal. In the park across the street there was (small-d) dj happening. Inside, the market was packed. I'm talking full-on foodie forager madness! Nevertheless we decided to go for it. The 4 of us did the big loop in 4 different directions. We checked out all the chefy mini kitchens/menus. Checked out the food on the tables. Checked out the whole hyper global food scene while cruising the jam packed tables for 4 seats.

When it came down to the question of what and where to eat, it was a surprising four-way unanimous decision. We all picked 'Joao Rodrigues', hands down. It was the plated grilled squid that clinched it. Make that 2 orders of squid, 2 tartares, 1 cauliflower and 2 btls of wine. Don't judge us. We're on vacation.

But the real surprise was just how damn good the food was. You know how big market eateries can be. Once you pay upfront you're never sure what you're going to get. Let's face it, things can go real blah, real fast. Not this time. Chef Celestino and the friendly kitchen staff at Joao Rodrigues put out 5 high flying dishes!

The tartare and cauliflower with a garbanzo bean hummus were excellent. But in the end it was the grilled squid that we all flipped-out over! It was perfectly grilled and tender, as was the bokchoy & shitaki mushrooms. But it was the silky smooth butter sauce that made it amazing. Even though we took our time drinking, talking and eating the sauce never broke. Not to get all mushy about it, but we walked out of there fully satisfied...hearts, bellies and, souls. And to top it off when I stopped to thank the chef and crew, they were all super nice! I even got a quick lesson on how to make the perfect beurre blanc sauce from chef Celestino himself. Here's to Chef Celestino and the staff...obrigado chicos!

If you're searching for something to eat and don't know what. You will find something there. The good was great and we really enjoyed the atmosphere there. It could be a bit crowded but it is definitely something you should visit if you are in Lisboa.

Good food, some of it made by portughese chefs! Can get really crowded during weekend evenings

Crowded and sometimes hard to find a seating place with family (we tried twice for dinner). However, with a little patience, quite good tastes & options all together under one roof.

Nice concept, a lot of restaurants in one place. However, it was very crowded and full of people. The noice was very loud so not a very cosy place. But the food was good and the number of choices is very nice.

A lot of choices for eating, it gets really crowded

What a great concept. Such a high density of delicious food and restaurants, you d have a hard time going wrong here.

This was an old market, and now half of it is still a market and the other half has lots of small restaurants. People choose what they want to eat and they can sit at one of the tables enjoying their meal. Lots of reasonably priced different styles of Portuguese food and desserts. Well worth a visit.

I had a tuna steak there. Asked for medium rare and I got it cooked in that perfection. The food quality is high and price is as well ;-) enjoy your there.

Fantastic, bustling place. Fabulous food and drink. Can be tricky to find a seat at peak times. Sharpen your elbows!
