Mercados de Olhão

A market for those who love exploring real local flavors. The market is divided into separate buildings for seafood, meat, and produce — all under elegant red roofs that give a touch of history. Right outside, you’ll find cafés with outdoor seating and a view of the harbor — perfect for a morning coffee after shopping. It can be crowded on weekends, so come early!

A really well presented market and lots of stock! There are two different halls to wander around, meat, vegetables, fish and lots of local produce. A loa market with character, friendly and right next to the beach, marina and lots of places to eat and drink 🍷

Nice little market, good to go early before it gets busy, easy to get to from train station or CBD, plenty of fresh produce, there are plenty of restaurants/ coffee shops close by.

Great food and good value. Just slightly down the road from the markets. Seems to be popular with locals as well.

A Feast for the Senses at the Mercado de Olhão The Mercado de Olhão is an absolute gem and a must-visit for anyone exploring the Algarve. Housed in two beautiful red-brick buildings right on the waterfront, the market bursts with color, flavor, and local charm. From the freshest fish and seafood—straight off the boats—to an impressive selection of local produce, cheeses, olives, and regional delicacies, it’s a paradise for food lovers. The atmosphere is lively and authentic, especially on Saturdays when local farmers and artisans set up their stalls outside. Whether you're picking up ingredients for a picnic or just browsing, the market offers a true taste of Algarve culture. After shopping, enjoy a coffee or meal at one of the nearby cafés with a view of the Ria Formosa. The Mercado de Olhão is not just a place to shop—it's an experience. Highly recommended!

Lovely local market with two main sections — one for fresh fruits and vegetables, and another for fish and meat. It’s a great place to pick up local ingredients if you’re staying nearby and want to cook at home during your trip. We also found some really nice Portuguese products to take home, like local salt and little bottles of traditional liqueurs (including a pastel de nata–flavored one!). Lots of great food souvenirs and a nice atmosphere overall. Definitely worth a stop.

Beautiful selection of fresh produce and seafood. Incredibly fresh fish and such an amazing variety as well. The atmosphere is really buzzing and you can purchase the most wonderful fish at a very reasonable price. If you're into your food then this place is an essential visit

One of the best market we went to after spending a whole month in Portugal. Prices are more than fair.

Mercados de Olhão is the incredible local market in Olhão. Fresh fish, shrimp, and all types of seafood as well as lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, honey, and nuts. Definitely a must visit for the excitement and great spot to pick up ingredients for cooking a meal!
