Located in the Port Vell area, the food and cultural market is home to the city’s award-winning chefs, much loved local gems and up-and-coming home-grown talents.
Time Out Market Barcelona opened its doors to the public in the city’s Old Port on 5 July. The food and cultural market brings the best of the city together under one roof with a curated mix of the best local chefs, drinks and cultural experiences. At the heart of Time Out Market is to showcase the city’s top talents and to make their high-quality food accessible.
Time Out Market Barcelona – the first to open in Spain – features 14 award-winning chefs, up-and-coming restaurateurs and much-loved local gems, a full-service restaurant, four bars (two indoor and two outdoor), an event space and a podcast station across 5,250 sqm. It’s a place where guests come together around communal tables to enjoy the experience, surrounded by top chefs and their teams in action.
Located in the Port Vell area on the top floor of the Maremagnum, Time Out Market Barcelona has direct access from the street via an escalator and an elevator. The Market space has undergone a unique design transformation with a goal to become a place where people can get together in a communal atmosphere. Alongside some of the city’s best food and drinks, people also will be able to take in stunning views of the city, the sea, the Torre del Rellotge and the new Llotja de Pescadors.
“Our team has spent over a year developing and curating Time Out Market Barcelona, identifying the very best of local from all types of cuisines that make our city the top culinary destination it is,” said Silvia Nuri, General Manager of Time Out Market Barcelona. "We are incredibly excited to offer our guests a true taste of the city. We are open every day, all day so you can come for breakfast, lunch, dinner, to enjoy our cultural events or just a drink with incredible views of the city and the sea; you can come on your own, with family, with friends – it's a vibrant, fun space with something for everyone.”

Time Out Market Barcelona is a new addition to a growing family of food and cultural markets
Time Out Market is rooted in the heritage of Time Out – a publication created at a kitchen table in London in 1968 to help people go out better and discover the exciting new urban cultures that had started up all over the city. Today, a global team of local expert journalists are curating the best things to do, see and eat in 333 cities in 59 countries (in Barcelona since 2008) across websites, social media, video, podcast, newsletters and live events. Now this curation is also brought to life at Time Out Market. The first Time Out Market opened in 2014 in Lisbon as the world’s first editorially-curated food and cultural market. Today, there are nine Time Out Markets around the world with more to come – while they are all dedicated to the best of the city they are in, each is unique to its city and distinctly local.
Time Out Market Barcelona address: Moll D'espanya, 5 08039, Barcelona | 2nd floor
Opening times: Time Out Market Barcelona will open its doors to the public on F5 July 2024 at 12pm and following this first day, it will be open daily from 10am to midnight (with Paradiso open until 1am).

From award-winning chefs to much-loved local gems, from cooking classes with top chefs to installations from local artists and live entertainment, Time Out Market captures and celebrates the best of the city.
The first Time Out Market opened in 2014 in a historic market hall in Lisbon, quickly turning into one of the most popular destinations in the city. The success of Lisbon brought further expansion and the portfolio currently includes nine Markets in cities such as New York, Montreal, Dubai and Cape Town, several new locations with expected opening dates in 2024 and beyond, in addition to a pipeline of further locations in advanced discussions. While this is now a concept popular across several cities, the execution of each Market is distinctly local.

Time Out launched in London in 1968 to help people discover the exciting new urban cultures that had started up all over the city – today it is the only global brand dedicated to city life.
