What to order
Try a mix of local snacks while exploring the market – cod fritters (pastéis de bacalhau), bifanas, cured meats and local cheeses are all popular.
Why it’s here
Porto’s historic food market and one of the best places to experience the local food culture in one spot. You’ll find fresh produce, seafood, flowers, regional products and casual food stalls popular with both locals and visitors.
Tip
Visit in the morning, ideally between 8–11am, when the market feels most lively and the produce is freshest. Some vendors prefer cash, and many stalls start slowing down by mid-afternoon.
