There are definitely way more stalls that I would like to try out, such as the Japanese & asian fusion towards the right side of the market, or some of their burger places. Perhaps I should have chosen their traditional one, but I do think there are much better choices The texture was also dense and claggy, and the filling relatively bland. I ordered a squid ink one while waiting for my order elsewhere and unfortunately it really wasn’t good – the croquette was already premade & fried so was served at room temperature rather than piping hot. Highly promising croquette stall – and I love a good croquette. I had their Nozes Douradas – which is a caramelized egg yolk with walnut, and it didn’t disappoint. Given Portugal’s obsession on egg yolk based desserts I do wonder where have all the egg whites gone… but that is for another post). They are dense, sweet and tasty – but probably best not to over buy.
There is a wide mix covering a large range of traditional Portuguese sweets – which in short are different variations of sweet egg yolks.

Plus it is close to the entrance so you can’t really ignore it.
I have a massive sweet tooth so naturally I have taken interest in all the sweets stalls here in the market. This is the only nata place in the market and you should definitely pay it a visit. And Manteigaria is one of the best in town: I have been a die hard fan of Pasteis de Belem but the locals have recommended Manteigaria – and yes it is pretty awesome indeed. Let’s admit it – there is no way you are visiting Lisbon without trying out their pastel de nata. I’d therefore recommend that rather than buying drinks directly at the stalls, you get them from the bars at the center of the market: not only are there more choices (there are bars dedicated to wine, beer, and mixers / cocktails), but this also allow you to then sit down for a drink while waiting. They will give you a device that buzzes when your food is ready for pick up. Tip: Given the popularity of the market you often have to wait for your meal. Do note, however, that I waited around 20 minutes for my food so it is worth taking that into consideration when visiting at a busy time. I went for a black pork sandwich which I thought was pretty decent. It served a mixture of meat and seafood, and appears to do a pretty decent fish and chips. Located towards the far end of the market. They also have many other choices on their menu that I would be very happy to go back and try out. Monte Mar is where you should go for roasted octopus and potato – and you will then get many people asking where you got it. Do note that I haven’t visited every single one so I am only going to focus my recommendations on those that I have tried. Afterall, you are here for a meal and so what should you choose? This is why I have decided to write a quick piece on what I think are the great ones to try out, and what are less great. It is a well curated mix so that you feel that all the stores have something different to offer.Īs much as the choices are great and makes you feel like a kid in the candy shop, it can also be a bit overwhelming at first.
The food hall itself is a hotpot of restaurants in Lisbon, covering a wide variety of cuisines that you’d find in the city: from traditional seafood, to croquette, soup, and their signature desserts. It is very easy to get to – just take the metro to Cais do Sodré (green line) and it is pretty much right outside the station. The Time Out Market existed as an extension to the Mercado da Ribeira at Cais do Sodré – which was a fairly traditional market that you’d expect from most places in Europe. And, truth be told, it didn’t disappoint. In fact, the moment I heard about its existence I made the point of visiting it the first thing after arriving at the city. I have just spent a week in Lisbon and have to admit that the Time Out Market was one of the highlights of the trip.
