Located in the Southern wing of São Bento Station, the food and cultural market is home to the city’s award-winning chefs, much loved local gems and up-and-coming homegrown talents.
Time Out Market Porto (Portugal) is officially open to the public all day, every day from 10am to midnight. It is located in the Southern wing of São Bento Station, one of the city's most iconic landmarks and often described as one of the world’s most beautiful train stations. Time Out Market Porto is a unique space designed by Porto-born architect Souto de Moura, recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2011.
Time Out Market is a food and cultural market, bringing the best of the city together under one roof – based on editorial curation: the city’s best chefs, restaurateurs, drinks and cultural experiences. Across approximately two thousand square metres, there are 12 kitchens and two bars. There is also an outdoor space with a unique tower which houses a shop at the base and at the top a space for wine experiences, with stunning views over the city.
To curate the lineup, the Time Out Porto editorial team and the Time Out Market Porto team tested and tasted food from all across the city to uncover the best local talent, before inviting the very best to join.
Here’s the list of all chefs and restaurateurs at Time Out Market Porto – from Michelin star chefs to much-loved local gems and up-and-coming homegrown talents, all offering unique culinary experiences, accessible for everyone:
- Chef Rui Paula: An indispensable name in Porto's gastronomy, at the helm of spaces like DOP, DOC and Casa de Chá da Boa Nova (two Michelin stars). At Time Out Market Porto, he serves some of his most iconic dishes together with other novelties.

Time Out Market Porto is a new addition to a growing family of food and cultural markets
There are now eight Time Out Markets around the world with more in development – while they are all dedicated to the best of the city they are in, each is unique to its city and distinctly local, with a local team. Time Out Market is rooted in Time Out which started in 1968 at a kitchen table in London, as a magazine about the best things to do in the city. It is now a trusted brand that has, for over 55 years, been curating the best of cities around the world.
Time Out Market Porto is the second location of Time Out Market in Portugal. The first Time Out Market opened in Lisbon in 2014 – as the world’s first editorially curated food and cultural market – at Mercado da Ribeira, based on an idea from Time Out Portugal’s local team to bring to life the publication’s content which is all about celebrating the best of the city.
The publication Time Out Porto has been present in the city since 2010 and is trusted and valued by the people of Porto who make the most of the city with the recommendations of Time Out’s team of local expert journalists.
