What is Time Out Market?
Ever read one of Time Out’s guides, like ‘The best restaurants in Barcelona’ or ‘Barcelona’s Best bars’?
The aim was to bring these dining guides to life, and the result is a very exciting culinary journey, as diverse as it is delicious. The first Time Out Market was in Portugal: Time Out Market Lisbon opened in 2014 and has since become a fixture of the city. Since then, they have opened markets in New York, Cape Town, Boston, Chicago, Dubai, Montreal, and, in May 2024, Porto.
The venue covers an enormous 5,250 square meters and features two terraces with 360° views of the sea, the port, and the city.

Every stall is a champion in its own right, meticulously selected and endorsed by the very critics who have long recommended Barcelona’s top spots for eating and drinking.
