It makes sense that Time Out’s new concept started here. “But our plan for the future is to close down.” “We have been surviving because our products cater for the African community here,” says Joaquím. The shop’s loaded shelves stock bacalhau (salted cod) and everyday items as well as tinned food, oils, sauces and grains from Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique. Many of their neighboring vendors along the corridor have left, some now selling in markets 20 kilometers away. London is also scheduled to get its own Time Out Market, despite initial plans for a market in historic Spitalfields being rejected by the local town council.Īnabela, alongside partner Joaquím, runs Loja 54, a cheerful store that has been here since the 1950s. The success of the site means that three more Time Out Markets – in Chicago, Boston and Miami – will open by 2019. Selling the best of Portugal – from croquettes and custard tarts to seafood and steak – it is now a top attraction, with 24 restaurants, eight bars, a dozen shops and a high-end music venue. Time Out’s concept: an “editorially” curated gourmet food hall. Originally built as a predominantly wholesale food, fish and flower market in 1771, Ribeira today shares its space with Mercado Time Out, financed by the venture capital firm that controls the publishing franchise in Portugal, which has occupied the central section of the market since 2014. “The unique fingerprint of Time Out Market Dubai’s interior design is the addition of natural palettes and materials, influenced by the distinct colours surrounding the city,” said João Cepeda, president and creative director at Time Out Market.“It’s good for tourists, not for us.” While this can sadly be said about many things, Anabela, the woman we are speaking to, is referring to the transformation of Mercado da Ribeira, Lisbon’s historic public market, where she co-runs a small grocery store. “Alongside Emaar and the incredible Souk Al Bahar building, we have created a completely unique concept in the heart of Downtown Dubai.”
“Our extraordinarily brilliant Time Out Dubai editors have expert knowledge about the city and what food and culture cannot be missed,” added Souillat. New locations are heading to London and Prague. Time Out Market Dubai joins existing Time Out Markets in Lisbon, New York, Chicago, Miami, Boston and Montreal.
Time Out Market Dubai covers 43,000 square feet and has scenic views from the outdoor terrace, which overlooks the Dubai Fountain and the Burj Khalifa.īeverage facilities include the Atrium Bar, Palace Bar and Fountain Bar, and visitors will enjoy a unique art installation created by Tarsila Schubert. “We came to Dubai with a mission to bring the best of the city under one roof, which we have achieved with our line-up of incredible home-grown culinary talents of chefs and restaurateurs.”
“We are thrilled to reveal that Time Out Market Dubai is now officially open to the public,” said Didier Souillat, CEO of Time Out Market. New concepts include folly Workshop by Nick & Scott, Fulvio’s, Two Leaves by Project Chaiwala, Local Fire by The Mattar Farm, and Liban by Allo Beirut. Local offerings include MASTI, BB Social Dining, Vietnamese Foodies, Pickl, Pitfire, Brix by 3fils, Nightjar, Reif Japanese Kushiyaki, Little Erth, Scoopi Café, Long Teng, and Al Fanar. The market offers a taste of the city and includes 17 award-winning chefs and restaurateurs, local favourites, three bars and entertainment spaces. Time Out Market Dubai can be found in the Souk Al Bahar in Dubai, and was curated by editors at Time Out Dubai.
