I tried ten different stalls during my time in Lisbon and in my review I'll rate everything I tried and give my personal recommendations on what to eat and what to avoid!

To start this review, I'll talk about Time Out Market in general. It's a huge, modern indoor food market. It is very clean, there are long communal tables for diners, and the market is basically catered for tourists. No cash is accepted and every stall accepts Apple Pay. Everything will be a bit pricey and crowded.

The vendors are hand picked by Time Out, so the food is actually quite good. Supposedly, Time Out represents the best food in Lisbon. Most of the vendors have a separate restaurant location as well. It gets VERY crowded here and finding a seat can be difficult, despite the many tables. For lunch, I recommend getting here 11:30AM or earlier. 12-2PM was just crazy lines and no seats. I also recommend finding a spot to sit before ordering so you're not fighting for an open seat with a tray of food in your hands.

Now, onto the GREAT, the MID, and the EH (would skip)

GREAT (my favorite stalls) -- Cafe de Sao Bento: the steak tartar from here was one of the best things I've eaten during my Lisbon trip. AMAZING steak here. -- Henrique Sa Pesso: is a close second with their grilled fish with hummus (chefs special menu). The kitchen looks professional and the flavors are elegant and beautiful. -- Gelato Davvero: so delicious!! Perfect ice cream ending to an excellent meal. I loved the pastel de nata flavor. -- L'eClair: beautiful, photo-perfect, sweet eclair pastries. -- Miguel Castro E Silva: this is borderline mid. The francesinha was very good. The mushroom chicken pie and the sardines on toast were just OK.

MID (just okay) -- Monte Mar: I thought their grilled octopus was good but the cold octopus salad was really disappointing. -- Confraria: the sushi place. I wouldn't say it was bad, just incredibly mid when compared to the sushi back home in California. I'm not sure if this is good for Portugal standards. The sashimi on the rolls were sparse. Fish quality just ok.

Eh (skip these) -- Zero Zero: yes, getting a fresh pizza is so tempting but honestly I thought the pizzas were just good, not great. I shouldn't have wasted my stomach space on a "good" pizza. -- Mercado Da Sopa: the first red flag was that the soups were just sitting there, not hot. $10 for a bowl of soup? Not worth it.

While I love Time Out Market, I do think that diners should be careful selecting what they want to spend on because not all stalls are worth the money and time. That, and the fact that the crowds can be a bit much, make me give this review a 4 star.

If I ever come back, I will try the O Frado stall (I've had the restaurant location which is very good) and I would order more items from the Henrique Sa Pesso stall (everything there seems very delicious)
