Time Out Market Lisboa Restaurants

  • Contemporary European
  • Cais do Sodré
In his restaurant at Time Out Market Lisboa, chef Miguel Castro e Silva joins many of his great dishes under one roof: his oven rice dishes, all the brás cod dishes and even a francesinha made by the book that has become one of the most coveted dishes on the menu. In addition to the sliced ​​meat, it takes fresh sloth, cheese, and the famous succulent sauce. Have a side of chips and, if you are like us, you will need a little more sauce to dive them in (12,50 €).
  • Cais do Sodré

Tartar-ia was created by the Vila Joya team who own two Michelin stars. It strictly follows the slogan "where everything is raw and cut to pieces" and has everything from traditional Tartar recipes such as salmon, tuna, beef and herring - all with fresh ingredients and with great attention to the seasonality of the products used. Every now and then there is a new tartar and a limited edition signed by a chef, so keep an eye out for that. If you're looking for a vegetarian option try the Greek tartar. If you are just visiting the Time Out Market Lisboa once - and we urge you not to-, we recommend you try the Asian Tartar.  The topside beef comes with candied shiitake mushrooms, a daikon (Japanese radish) pickle, peas breaded with wasabi, fresh foie gras and dashi sauce, among other Asian-inspired dressings.

Croqueteria is the first and only house entirely dedicated to croquettes and you can only find it at the Time Out Market Lisboa. And you can either eat it as a snack or build your plate with the traditional meat, game meat and greens, cuttlefish with ink, tuna with dried tomato or cod and chorizo, and add rice or potato slices if the idea is to make a meal out of it, and not just snack. If you like to take chances and are not afraid of inventions, you can always discover that happiness lies within two slices of brioche bread with the Croqueteria sandwich: it has homemade mustard butter, a mixture of lettuces and two croquettes of your choosing. You can go for the traditional meat croquette and toss it in there or choose one of the other flavors. A good snack or lunch - believe us when we say that you will leave with a well comforted stomach (6.50€).

In Cozinha da Felicidade (Kitchen of Happiness) at the Time Out Market Lisboa, the original mission was to promote traditional cuisine, but gradually began creating new dishes and ended up building an identity of its own. There are good appetizers here, like Lisbon's typical green eggs, but in a reinvented version, pork cheeks stewed with mashed sweet potato, cabbage and black pork ham - one of their first dishes - or a poultry pickle with Algarve's carrot puree. They are simple dishes but with very Portuguese flavors.
