Time Out Lisboa Review

Over crowed. Not family friendly. We came here with our 2yrs old, couldn't find a place and left. I saw a women with a tray of plates, carrying her baby on her back with a carrier walking back and forth for a long time trying to find a seat.
Lots of people who doesn't have a plate yet just occupy the table waiting for their friend to get food.
In all, this is a good place for people watching and not to eat.

The best market in Europe.. You can eat and drink and have fun..!! Very smart project for the city of Lisbon..!!

Excellent place to chill and drink a beer after a long day. Good appetizers!!

Excellent market! You can eat chef cuisine with reasonable prices! Suits people who are traveling alone as well.
I have also tested the Mantageira pasteis, in my opinion too sweet compared to the one you get in Belem.

Amazing food. However, finding seating is challenging. I would recommend going during non-peak hours (after lunch but before dinner)

V busy but some great stuff to try taste. Go early or late imo

Definitely very touristy place but there are some traditional portuguese places that serve delicious food.

Great place to eat and spend time. Lot of restaurants and eateries with different cuisine. Only thing is that seating is not comfortable as there are high tables and chairs. Could be crowded and noisy during peak hours and wait for the seating and food may be longer. Overall nice spot to enjoy if you are a foodie and don't mind rubbing shoulders with others..!!!

We went at 10pm on a Monday and it was jam-packed!

Stall: Henrique sa Pessoa


Stall: Le E clair Patisserie Francaise
We ordered a Limao which is a lemon eclair with Sichuan pepper glaze, merengue and lime biscuit. Sounds crazy exotic but tastes really good! Tastes like lemon sorbet. You don t taste the spice at all. Surprised that it was still so tasty since it was so late at night.

Wish we were hungrier or that we went with a bigger group of friends so that we could have tried more dishes! The lines in front of Alexandre Silvia and Miguel Castro e Silvia were the longest (the stalls are right next to each other).

Great food, little soul. Food looks and smelss great, but the standardised atmosphere kills part of the fun

Great place for lunch or dinner. Choose whatever you want and it will be good.

Amazing foot court where you can enjoy Portuguese cuisine. There is literally everything...oysters, shrimps, octopus, cheese, squid, ham, burgers, sweets, etc.

Nice, but over rated. Food is extremely expensive.

Very good place to have a nice meal, lots of good restaurants to pick from and bars and wineries.

Most of the is very delicious and the price is very reasonable. The only downside is you need to fight to get a seat. This place is always crowded.

Amazing selection. Although avoid peak times like lunch or dinner or you will be left standing.

Tourist place, decent food, but probably you can spend your time in Lisbon in better ways.

Reasonably good for a quick bite of chef cuisine, but not very comfortable.

Great concept. Octopus amazing and really good burger from Ground burger

Ate and drank twice here.. wonderful choice of food and drink good prices and nice atmosphere

A monument to the gentrification of Lisbon; Everything that's amazing about Portuguese food brought to one place made more uncomfortable and expensive. I mean, why have your octopus in a nice chair contributing to one of the thousands of restaurants that made Lisbon the kind of place that now attracts the massive cruises, when you can pay double, to eat it in a hot dog bun sitting in a noisy stool...?

While we're at it, let's all share a minute of silence for the poor Timeout souls who have to work in the middle of that. What monster came up with that open office idea I wonder.

The coolest food hall I've eaten at period, great atmosphere, great selection of foods

Good choice of quality food, but hard to get a sit. Try pastais de nata here, they are among best

Huge food court for foodies, grab a small dish from various places and assemble your own tasting. Kid friendly.

The market is a perfect place to grab food for lunch or dinner. It's like cafeteria style where everyone can go to a different venue and bring back food to communal tables. It can be difficult to find a table for more than 2 people. There are staff who clear the tables but they are busy. The prices are cheaper than tourist restaurants but slightly more expensive than a hole in the wall restaurant. It's accessible and easy to get to as it's located in the city centre.

Unbelievable selection of food and drink. Also opens really late too. We got food at midnight and pretty much everything was open. Went there a few times while visiting the city.

A food court no more. Ok food might be great, but being brand new, insipid, and packed with tourists I didn t really enjoy my time there

So many food vendors or stalls. You have to come here to understand

Excellent quality food made by very talented chefs. Great drinks and food options, although very busy and be prepared to wait and walk around to jump on a free table

Interesting place, many options, warm and friendly..

Little pricy, but lots of choices, and great foods. Must go when in Lisbon.

Super! Great place....very good food and sangria with fruits was tasteful. A place to go again and again....

Great atmosphere. A lot of different food options with good price and quality.

Excellent state of the art food court gathering creative restaurants.

Love it, one of the best places to try good food in Lisbon, but can be very crowded

Huge selection of stalls offering wide selection of local (and not so local) delicacies. Pick and mix for adults! Some have restaurant style seating and others share central benches. Often busy. Entertaining place to eat and drink

Outstanding enclosed market with a multitude of high quality food options to suit all palates. There is a wonderful atmosphere as locals mingle among communal tables. I went several nights in a row with my young family and we all wanted to go back.

Exceptionally well curated, this should exist in every city!! Great selection of food and treats and drinks for all palettes and preferences. From traditional Portuguese, seafood, pastries, tonnes sardines, cocktails, pizzas, egg tarts... Etc - it's a must visit.

Great place to chill with friends eating and drinking. Gets busy but if patient will find a spot.

You can get some great food here, but I'd only recommend as a place to visit once during off-peak times. It's simply too busy and overpriced for what it is, which is essentially a canteen style eatery. It's too loud (and far too warm in the summer!) to be able to properly enjoy the food.

Amazing food at an amazing price. Great place to sample loads of local specialities, especially if only in Lisbon for a few days.

Cool place and very trendy. Didn't give it 5 stars as it's way too crowded for my liking and very expensive. Cool place to socialise but bring some extra cash with you. Lots of food and drink choices

Fun place to eat and drink. There are approx 20-25 stalls offering all types of local food for even the pickiest eaters. Fun place to food hop and hang out with friends.

Such a great experience! You have plenty food places to choose from, each better then the next. We had fish soup and octopus which was handa down one of the best ones I've tried in my entire life (and I had planty). We also bought "the wine experience" where they give you a plate of 5 different Portuguese wine to try out. Cost abut 16 but it is well worth the price.

What an amazing place. The sheer variety of food and they open til 2am on weekends! A must-visit in Lisbon!

I love this concept. It was very crowed though and lines were long for food. Excellent sangria and atmosphere. We visited in May 2017

Interesting and trendy place. Not expensive, not cheap, where people of different nationality meet each other and try different cuisine local, Italian, French, Asian etc. A place where you can meet locals too.Good place for social contacts where you can feel the vitality of Lisbon.

Lots of people and food vendors. It's extremely crowded on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but I managed to find a seat. The food is affordable and good too. Worth checking it out.

One of the places to go, can be pricey however it is a nice and dynamic atmosphere with many different restaurants and food to choose from! It is quieter in the morning and only a couple places are opened for coffee and snack, there is however a market where local produce (fruit and veg) are available. I would recommend that you have a look for yourself!

Hipster central. Nice place to hang out but be prepared to wait to find a table. Food isn't particularly on the cheap side but there are several options

It is a very vibrant place to go for food, it was very busy when we went but we had to go to see for ourselves. The prices all vary but they all looked delicious, there was even a children's cooking class on, they were making Portuguese tarts. I highly recommend you visit this place.

Very touristy place. If you go in peak time periods, it's a food court style so it's very difficult to get seating. The stands offer a variety of food (not much is authentic) but they offer different cuisines if you're not after authentic. If everyone wants something different it's ideal, otherwise book yourself into a lovely Portuguese restaurant, enjoy being seated with some lovely authentic food!

I went here with 6 friends as part of a group trip. It s perfect for a group because everyone got to pick the food they wanted and we could still sit together. The more adventurous in our group could try new dishes and those who wanted to play it safe could do so. Win win!

Highly recommend if you re in Lisbon

One of the best locations I love in Lisbon. Always lovely and open till midnight. You can eat both local and international food.

Great place to hangout and eat. A lot of options to choose from. Just be wary that some places usually start to close up shop 15 to 20 mins before posted time.

Food was amazing and so much to choose from! I was very excited going here! Drinks were also really good here. I recommend it!

Great place for delicious food and libations. The market has many different types of food from all over the world, you can get anything from fresh sea food to a sandwich. Definitely a must try!

Very crowded and overpriced food court. The pastries and coffee at Manteigaria were reasonably priced and both very good!!

Very nice food court with a cool atmosphere. You should however be careful about what you order as the food in general is pricier here than a lot of options in the city.

Amazing amount of choice there, from local dishes to thing like pizza etc.

It is a touristic and history place.
Here you can find all kinds of food from Portugal.

Impossible to get a table and seats to eat but the food is great.

Tourist trap place. Long lines, no where to sit when busy. Don't eat at "Sea Me". Service is poor. The attendant continued his conversation with his friend the security guard for ages before I intercepted to make my order. And I was the only one standing there lining up, trying to get this attention (friday night august 3rd 10pm)

Also they use bulk packet octopus- not fresh.

The most disappointing meal in Lisbon was had here. Sea Me advertises that their specialty is tomato rice with cod.. i was served a small dish of boiled tomato water with plain rice (it was obviously just boiled separately and chucked together because I could taste the boiled rice water amongst the plain tomato water "soup") It was disgusting that they thought they can serve someone this and charge 9.5 euros. The french couple across from me commented how terrible my meal was after I had 1 spoonful and disgarded the rest. I agreed.
It was bland and not worth my time and money.

Amazing variety but packed so seating is a challenge. Custard Tarts are indeed amazing

Great selection of Lisboa's best food all under one handy roof. Great value.

I enjoyed the market a lot! I got to try a bunch of different things, and they were all really good. I mean...the octopus hot dog was a little out there but it was delicious! We didn't have any trouble finding a seat, but we went during the week, and January is the off season for Lisbon. We did this intentionally though...less people around!!!

Trendy place with a distinguished local food choice.

Really nice market where you can eat a lot of different specialities from Portugal or dishes from other countries (Asian food, pizza, etc).
It's quite hard to find a seat because the place is quite crowded so I would recommend to come early.

Our trip to Lisbon was 5 days and we ate at this place 3 times, which showed how much we really enjoyed the variety and choice available to you. From traditional Portuguese food to Asian cuisine, this place offers so many different types of food, with many using sea food. Please make sure you try the dessert. I forgot the name but it's the one near the corner of the main entrance. It makes honestly the singlehandedly best chocolate cake you'll ever have.

Food was a real treat and great value! The hustle and bustle of the setting is not the best but we really enjoyed what we ate one of our best meals in Portugal for 10% of the price!

Amazing place! Lots of local and famous chefs and restaurants. You choose what to eat, pay, and get a place to seat, in the middle of the market (the restaurants are in the perimeter). Really good food at a good price, and you can try diferent food from diferent places in the same location.

A lot of variety and too much people! Use the bathroom upstairs!!!

Best place and must go! The selection of places they have is excelent, food is fresh and excelent quality. Great options for sea food and desserts. I loved this market!

Crowded and lively, but the same reasons why the food feels like it's made at high speed with low attention to quality. A quick turnover of customers means the food isn't that great.

Absolutely loved this place, they had such a variety of foods, and the atmosphere was great!

Great place, superb atmosphere, outstanding fresh food and drinks!

Very crowded and we didn't find a place to sit. But many good restaurants available

Plenty of choices to be had. Try the croquettes. More upmarket than other "food halls" you might find in other countries.

Such and awesome spot with great vibes and an excellent selection of food and beverage. Open late too. Definitely worth a visit! My favourite was the figs stuffed with prosciutto. Yum!

I was in Lisbon for 6 days and I visited this place 3 times. Great ambiance to chill out and nice collection of restaurants. You can easily stay here for hours while you drink different kind of wines or trying different foods.
Visit this place for a time out!

Very trendy and bustling. Great selection of food and drink, with a good atmosphere.

Trap for turist.bad ventilation, not working toilets, crowd and overpriced

A must see place in Lisbon. Nice idea with a great selection of restaurants and tasty food.

Incredibly fake, pseudo traditionally portuguese, crowded with tourists. Expensive and below average food.

It's a little bit over priced, but still very good. The only problem I found was the lack of sits for the amout of people in the place.

Super you have the best quality of food with best prices

Range of food choices to go for. One of the best place to eat and drink in Lisbon. There's a nice wine bar there too. Can be a little hard to get a table, maybe cos of web summit. Recommend though!

Place with typical Portugese foods, as well as crafts and drinks. Although it can be very crowded, the atmosphere is fun. Famous local chefs serve affordable dishes, so you can enjoy their unique food creations.

Large hall buzzing with people. I would recommend to check out the stalls behind the center square, so on the outside of the whole building. Much calmer and fresh breezes from outside.
