Visiting a Lisbon food market is one of the most authentic ways to get under the city\u2019s cultural skin.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Lisbon food market is the perfect place to gauge locals’ grocery shopping habits and preferred chitchat topics. Prepare to leave any of these four markets in Lisbon with suggestions for your next meal, updates on local politics and football, an old family recipe, and a complimentary bunch of parsley or coriander (two of Portuguese cuisine\u2019s most popular herbs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Mercado de Arroios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mercado de Arroios<\/a> would be just another food market in Lisbon if it weren\u2019t for its location right in the heart of Mouraria, the city\u2019s most culturally-diverse neighborhood. The 75-year-old establishment reopened with a fresh look in 2017 and became the first hydroponic market in the world, thanks to the soil-less greenhouse system built on the terrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the real appeal of Mercado de Arroios is the community life around it. The restaurants around the market reflect the area\u2019s multiculturality, from Churrasqueira do Mercado de Arroios, selling the Portuguese-beloved grilled chicken to go, to Mezze<\/a>, the first Syrian cuisine restaurant in Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mercado 31 de Janeiro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Off the beaten path, Mercado 31 de Janeiro<\/a> is local chefs\u2019 favorite Lisbon food market for fresh fish. In the morning, you\u2019ll likely cross paths with busy suppliers packing whole fishes in styrofoam boxes filled with ice. But don\u2019t worry\u2014they\u2019ll leave something for you. If you\u2019re not a fish connoisseur or are struggling to translate their cryptic names, the skillful fishmongers will get you the right one by assessing your cooking preferences: grill, fry, or stew. They\u2019ll even throw in their secret sauce family recipe or tell you how they season their caldeirada<\/em> (fish stew).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need a first introduction to fish recipes before trying out your own, go up to the second-floor restaurant Casa do Peixe. Dishes are simple, and the fish is sourced from the market below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Mercado de Campo de Ourique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mercado de Campo de Ourique<\/a> blends neighborhood life, tradition, and gourmet food under one roof. Entering the market feels close to a farm-to-table journey, with vendors circling the food court in the center, as if embracing it. The casual atmosphere of the restaurants is spot on for a very Portuguese way of eating a meal: petiscar<\/em>. Not quite a full meal and not quite a snack, the petiscos<\/em> are flavorful, shareable dishes, cooked quickly but never rushed, that pair well with wine and long conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider’s Tip:<\/strong> At Devour Lisbon we love the iconic Portuguese petiscos<\/em><\/a> at Alhos e Bugalhos or the best national cheeses and sausages<\/a> at Charcutaria Casti\u00e7o (when in doubt, order their Campo de Ourique board for a selection of typical Portuguese products).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Mercado da Ribeira (Time Out Market)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mercado da Ribeira<\/a> was the first central market of Lisbon in the 19th century. In 2014 it became the first Time Out Market in the world. The west wing houses the most prominent Portuguese chefs and restaurants, selected by Time Out editors. For most tourists in Lisbon, this is the location of their first encounter with local cuisine. Feeling inspired and wanting to recreate some of the dishes you just tried? Head over to the vendor section on the east wing for fresh produce and some cooking tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

No matter which Portuguese restaurant you choose here, save room for one, or several, of Manteigaria\u2019s<\/a> past\u00e9is de nata<\/em>. The custard tart is Lisbon\u2019s most famous pastry<\/a>, but few other places bake the real deal. While waiting in line, you can see the bakers preparing the next batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
