[title]Time Out Market Barcelona opened its doors back in July 2024 on Barcelona’s Old Port, and ever since, our chefs have been slinging out some serious dishes (and some serious cocktails on our outdoor terrace). What are you waiting for?
Time Out Market Barcelona showcases the cream of the city’s culinary scene all under one roof. After all, there’s a very vast array of food and drink options in Barcelona. From world-renowned high-end restaurants and cocktail bars to excellent, affordable tapas spots, our food scene is one of the things Barcelona is best known for. And now you can find the city’s finest food, all in one place.
From Catalan classics and rice dishes to haute cuisine, this gastronomic hub will also feature a comprehensive cultural program, with 14 kitchens, one full-service restaurant and four bars (two indoor and two outdoor), all curated by Time Out’s local editorial team.
Here’s everything you need to know about the market.
What is Time Out Market?
Ever read one of Time Out’s guides, like ‘The best restaurants in Barcelona’ or ‘the best bars’?
Time Out Market was conceived from these lists. We aimed to bring our 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, we’ve opened markets in New York, Cape Town, Boston, Chicago, Dubai, Montreal, and, in May 2024, Porto. Now, it’s Barcelona’s turn.
Where is Time Out Market Barcelona located?
Time Out Market Barcelona is situated at Port Vell (Barcelona’s historic port), specifically on the upper floors of the Maremagnum shopping centre. It’s directly accessible from the street via escalators and a lift.
The venue covers an enormous 5,250 square meters and features two terraces with 360° views of the sea, the port, and the city.
When is the Market open?
In true local style, Time Out Market Barcelona is open 10am-midnight every day of the week. But don’t worry if you’re in need of a night cap – our outdoor bar Paradiso stays open until 1am.
What will I find at the Market?
The market features 14 kitchens, one full-service restaurant and four bars (two indoors and two outdoors). Each kitchen has been meticulously selected by Time Out Barcelona’s editorial team, and all have received at least a four-star rating from our critics.
Offerings range from street food favourites to Michelin-starred dishes, all prepared by local chefs and restaurants.
Beyond the restaurants and bars, the space will also host events and live performances. There’s also a podcasting studio, but you’ll have to wait and see what we’ve got in store for that.
What’s the vibe?
At Time Out Market Barcelona, large, communal tables are designed to enable sampling from all 14 kitchens in a single meal, served with proper crockery and cutlery. Fancy proper table service? No problem. Head to Casa Amàlia, the Market’s standalone restaurant with its own dedicated tables and service.
Which chefs and restaurants will be there?
Where do we begin? There’s 14 restaurants and four bars at the market, cheffing up everything from fine dining to classic tapas. From chefs with two Michelin stars to a world-renowned cocktail bar, and sushi, burgers, pizza and tacos, the Market has it all. You can find the full list with all the details on our restaurants page. We hope you’re hungry!
