Here’s a great idea for a morning, afternoon or evening in Lisbon. It’s a little like the ultra-cool Mercado de San Miguel in Madrid, mixed with the tradition of the multi-cultural Farmers Market in Los Angeles. It’s the Mercado de Campo de Ourique in Lisbon, and it’s filled with a large variety of gourmet food stalls, mixed with thirst-quenching bars, and an abundance of ultra-fun people-watching.
Campo de Ourique is one of the most traditional neighborhoods of Lisbon. The market has been the center of the neighborhood since 1934. However, in the last year, it has been refurbished and reopened with a hungry, chic and urban customer in mind.
At this market, traditional fruit and vegetable stalls are situated next to stands serving modern, sophisticated cuisine. There are fresh juice counters, as well as bars specializing in flavored gins, or pouring an array of Portuguese wines.
Expect to find:
Sausages and Cheeses
Wines by the Glass or Bottle
Artisanal Ice Creams
Champagne
Fish and Seafood
American Favorites
Italian Pasta and Pizzas
Sushi
Quality Grilled Meats
Pastries and Traditional Convent Sweets
Hamburgers
Coffees
Suckling Pig
And much, much more to explore….
The Campo de Ourique market is a great place for brunch, lunch, coffee, afternoon snacks, dinner, and even evening drinks. Often, music or entertainment is scheduled. It’s a great space to get to know the people, food, traditions and the city of Lisbon.
