The Mercado do Bolhão is one of the typical places in Porto. It's a two-story covered market with a wide variety of shops and small eateries. I suppose it used to be a local market a long time ago, but now it's a tourist market. The vast majority of shops sell items geared towards tourists (oils, canned sardines, wines, etc.).

I was excited to visit this market but honestly, I was a little disappointed from the offerings. Most of the stalls sell the same things – olive oil, produce, cheese, salted cod, and a few stands selling ‘fresh’ seafood. I guess I thought there would be more eats around but the eats that were available looked like they had been sitting out all day. My advice? Come to talk a loop around to just check it out but if you want a snack/food, head across the street to Confeitaria de Bolhao.

Food selection, location, variety of foods (pastries, sandwiches, cheese plates, meats, sampler plates, candy, beans, fruit, plants, flowers, coffee, chocolate, drinks, wines, misc, and more). They have everything you need. Vendors REALLY take pride in their products. So clean, no awful smells, friendly. Wish this was everywhere.

This is a beautiful building in the centre of Porto. Very easy to find and free entry. Beautiful cut flowers, meats, cheeses, olives, fruit, sardines…..and wine! I bought a fruit cup for €3.50, wine for €2, my sister bought a cheese plate for €5. Would highly recommend.

Wow, what a great place to savour the snacking experiences. Seasoned meats, charcuterie, vegetables, fruits, seafood, wine, chocolate, olive oils, flowers and so many more. Prices are touristy, but still reasonable way to sample sk many experiences. I gas tgd great time w raw oysters, urchins, meat pies, complimented w wines.... a great day overall. Would be especially effective for a rainy day!

This is without doubt the very best indoor market I have ever visited. It is new, fresh, clean, organised, exciting, and fantastic. Lots of offerings from fruit, vegetables, salted cod fish, cheeses, chocolates, fruits, oils, wines, juices, etc etc. all under one roof. The market is on three floors with top floor located for various restaurants and the public toilets (sanitarios) again very clean. Second floor a gallery area to look down on market and the ground floor is the market. We got freshly made drilled vegetable focaccia sandwiches then some Douro Valley wines and sat in the sunshine on the steps. All very peaceful and many people did the same with a local singer/guitarist playing soulful music. This is a must place to visit to have lunch but go around 11.30 am as they sell out quickly!

Recently refurbished, it's definitely a handy place for a snack or glass of wine during the day. Most of the stalls now seem to be aimed at the tourist market. It seems to have lost its soul a little from when we first visited the admittedly slightly run down market a few years ago, where there were several inexpensive cafes where you could get local fish etc. And the stalls seemed to be aimed more at the locals. Still, progress, I suppose.......

Porto’s central market is a must-visit when touring the city. One can happily meander through the stalls for 1-2 hours and peruse row after row of delicacies for both stomach and home. Hungry? Sample small plates of sardines, urchin, tuna tartare, cheese, pasta, charcuterie or fresh oysters etc. There are loads of options and to wash all that food down, you can sip lovely Douro wines. Looking for fresh cut flowers, plants, tableware or linens - you can find those in abundance too. The market is clean, well lit and sensibly laid out w plenty of washrooms at your disposal. After visiting this place you’ll leave w a lighter wallet but much happier.

Open market, restored, with covered stall area and upper catering floor, with elevator. The exterior façade is very striking. In the center are the fruit, vegetable, meat and fish stalls. On both sides they have wine, tapas and craft stalls. Very good prices for tapas, wines, beer, they have high tables at the entrance.

This is a fantastic market to buy fresh produce and also sample delicious foods from either the stalls down below or the sit down restaurants on the upper floor. Such a friendly vibe and great value for money. Highly recommend anyone stop here during their trip to Porto.
