"Time Out magazine has curated this upbeat food hall in Cais do Sodre, which successfully merges the worlds of culinary highbrow and lowbrow. Set within the old-school Mercado da Ribeira, where locals buy their meat and fish, it’s one of the best places in Lisbon to while away the day, eating and drinking from more than 50 different concepts. Start with charcuterie from the more-than-a-century-old brand Manteigaria Silva and end with Italian-style ice cream packed into a wafer-biscuit cone from Santini. One of the best reasons to visit is to sample the cuisine from some of Portugal’s most famous chefs, including Miguel Castro e Silva, Marlene Vieira, Miguel Laffan, and Henrique Sá Pessoa." - Alia Akkam, Chadner Navarro
"Forget everything you thought you knew about food courts.Lisbon’s fabulous Time Out Mercado da Ribeira—opened in a revamped section of this classic market by the eponymous magazine in 2014—features a head-spinning choice of gourmet stalls from more than 40 of the city’s top chefs, restaurants, and culinary experiences. Choosing between the fresh tuna prego (sandwich) on Madeira’s famous bolo do caco (carob bread) from Sea Me, the confit of suckling pig from chef Henrique Sá Pessoa (of Michelin-starred Alma), and the iconic tempura green beans from Café de São Bento is agonizing, but this kid-in-a-candy-store-level feeding frenzy is heaven on earth for gastronauts. Prepare yourself—it gets impossibly crowded; but savorysatisfaction awaits those willing to fight the masses."

"This huge, pink food hall right off Lincoln Road looks a bit overwhelming from the sidewalk, but there are a few good reasons to go inside and eat. Vendors rotate a lot, but (at the time of this writing) include at least a couple spots we really like: Dale Street Food and Maiz Project. The former does fun twists on Cuban dishes and the latter make really delicious versions of Venezuelan arepas." - Ryan Pfeffer
