![]() Halfway down the hill it transforms into a food market including places to eat & drink beer. Both lanes are used so the whole length of stalls must be over a kilometer.Īlthough it’s a temporary one day a week market most of the stalls and the pathway between them are covered by a complex patchwork of tarpaulins providing shade and protection from rain.Įverything is on sale shoes, clothing, watches, furniture, house goods, tops, wine, spirits, garden plants, even business suits.Īlmost all the goods on sale are new - I only saw a couple of second hand stores selling clothing Only open on Sunday this market has to be seen to be believed - it stretches for about 650 meters down a dual carriage way road that is converted into a market. ![]() And, as with most of the tourists sites, there's plenty of souvenir and food shops around and down the hill from this cathedral. I think I spent maybe 45 minutes to an hour to see most of what was on display. There are several shrine rooms with various religious displays. On the second floor is a fascinating treasury museum, but they don't allow you to take any pictures in that area, so I'm sorry I don't have any to include with my review.Īfter visiting the upper levels, you can come down the stairs and walk around behind the front area. When the organ is playing it sounds amazing from the balcony above (I guess it's the way the sound travels within the building). On the other side of the stain glass window is the balcony looking down been to the pews. They have a balcony view from above the front door (under the circular stain glass window) out to the street. But the entry fee is only €4, and probably worth a look around. They will love it.įirst of all, this place is NOT "free" like Google maps claims. Seriously, take your non vegan family and friends. I wish Gupi all the best and big thumbs up for showing the world that vegan food is as good if not more delicious than non vegan food. The pastries are worth traveling for though! So delicious. I enjoyed a great conversation with them and am seriously considering coming back on Saturday even though I’ll be quite a way away from Lisbon. The couple is very enthusiastic, kind, and welcoming. ![]() The stall also had an incredible large range of other vegan desserts and savoury pastries which I couldn’t try, though I took some artisanal vegan sausages back with me. I took a coconut pastry and a blueberry muffin to go and realized that these are hands down some of the best pastries, vegan or not vegan, I’ve ever had in my life! I am simply blown away. I had delicious vegan pastel de nata which I had been craving to try in Portugal and fresh pressed orange juice. ![]() Be sure to eat at the pop-up stall “Gupi Vegan Pastry” inside the building! It is run by a vegan couple, one of whom is a pastry chef. The fruit market sold seasonal fresh fruit, pleas remember to checkout after your meal, we bought a variety of different items, all goodįor the vegans: walk uphill through the stalls to the Mercado building next to the flea market. Only thing to hear in mind is to make sure you chop the seats first as this place is extremely popular and running full house. Īnd I must say, all the food we ordered were so good, they still held the restaurant standard with reasonable price. If you are not a huge fan of queuing outside the restaurant itself or feel rejected when you failed to book the restaurant, please come here and get a bite of possibly everything. Timeout market is a must to visit when you are in Lisbon, it locates near the river banks in the central areas, there are two parts of the market, a vegetable and fruit market and a huge food court with a lot of popular restaurants in town setting up their own spots here. One of my favorite activities when exploring somewhere new is always to check out the local market and grocery shops, where you can get a bit sense of “insider”and experience how the locals are living their day to day.
