Once again in November, Lisbon hosts the world’s largest technology and innovation convention, where over 70,000 participants and 900 speakers from around the globe are expected. From November 11 to 14, the city will be buzzing with networking, where conversations could lead to new synergies and great business ideas. And there’s no better place for this than at the Time Out Market, because Web Summit attendees also need to eat, drink, and dance.

While Parque das Nações becomes the hub of technology and innovation during these days, the hub of great food and drinks remains at the Time Out Market. This is where the city’s best chefs and restaurants come together, and where people from 66 different nationalities can share a table, enjoying anything from a traditional bacalhau à Brás to the latest creation from a Michelin-starred chef.

From November 11 to 17, all paths lead to the Time Out Market to taste the best of the city, accompanied by a special concert each day (see program here). In addition to the usual signature cocktails, the Time Out Bar has created a special cocktail. The “Summit Sparkler” features gin, bergamot, floral cordial, lemon, honey, and sparkling wine (€10).

For some, it’s still too early to talk about Christmas dinners, while for others it might already be too late. The Time Out Academy team, the market’s cooking school, is already ready for this season. In this space, located right in the middle of the food hall, we celebrate a love for good food, as well as toasts ‘for everything and nothing,’ heartfelt laughter, healthy culinary disputes, and meals that remain in our memories forever.

When there’s a dinner, the kitchen is that place where everyone wants to be. And that’s why the Time Out Academy brings together the best of both worlds: a kitchen where you dine, but where nothing is predictable, and where all sorts of culinary formats can happen. Team buildings, workshops, competitions, dinners, and lunches—the choices are vast. As vast as the culinary themes you can choose from: from world cuisines to the most traditional Portuguese dish. All this happens right in the middle of a food hall that gathers the best restaurants and chefs in the city. There is no better inspiration than this!

Menu prices range from €45 to €65 per person and include the workshop, dinner, and drinks. For more information, contact the Time Out Academy at 913383935.

The most Italian spot in the market has a new menu to face the colder days ahead. “We mixed some authentic Italian recipes and adjusted some of our older options, keeping the original essence,” explains chef Sílvio Armani. New dishes include Gnocchi with Pesto Rosso and Gnocchi with Cacio Pepe and Truffle. The focaccia has been replaced by a mortadella ciabatta and a vegetarian version with roasted vegetables. “For desserts, we brought in some fresh ideas. Cannoli are always a hit, so they’re also on this new menu with chocolate and caramel filling.”
