The Time Out Market is reborn with unique flavors that attract neighbors to its stalls. It is a new space that opened its doors on the Maremagnum. A space that offers cultural proposals and a total of 14 gastronomic establishments. A space that was achieved after an investment of 13 million euros. The aim is to bring together the best of the city’s gastronomy in one place.
Diverse proposals in a variety of locations
It is a model that invites you to try different proposals from the variety of locals. It is a space aimed at the Barcelona public, where it wants to capture even the Port Vell. According to the general director of strategy Edward Voltas of Time Out in Spain and Portugal: “Although everyone is welcome, we place the locals; we want it to be a space for locals, and rediscover the Port Vell as a space also for them.
Time Out Market is reborn with unique flavors: quality gastronomic proposal
It is a new space that wants to attract them with a quality gastronomic proposal, at the best prices and accompanied by cultural initiatives. The Time Out Market of Catalonia is ranked ninth in the world. It began under the editorial inspiration of Time Out magazine. It should be noted that all the establishments were selected with the aim of showing a gastronomic panorama of the city and various proposals and cuisines that characterize it. The product of this selection has been 14 establishments ranging from the creative vision of the Catalan cuisine of Jordi Artal to the gastronomic experience of Fran López. The selection includes the Japanese proposal of Monster Sushi, the pizzas of La Balmesina, the Mexican of Xuba Tacos and the hamburgers of La Real Hamburguesería.

Likewise, these seafood dishes will be represented by RiasKru, while rice will be prepared by Can Ros Barceloneta. It should be noted that there will be no lack of tapas, with Darvaza, with Bar Nuri and Brasa. Casa Guinart will also be an emblem of Catalan cuisine, and will join the flavors of London in BaLó. It should be noted that the high Bubó chocolaterie and creative pastries also add the sweet spot to the experience, and accompany it with coffee from Café de Indias. If, on the other hand, you want drinks, you will find a cocktail from the award-winning Paradiso.

Space occupies more than 5,200 square meters
It is an offer of the space that is completed with a store of the historic Colmado Múrria. A place that occupies a total of more than 5,200 square meters on the second floor of the Maremagnum. The market opens at 10:00 am and midnight, except Paradiso, which offers award-winning cocktails until 1:00 am.
13 million investment required to open the space
Opening this gastronomic and cultural space involved an investment of 13 million euros, an investment assumed by Time Out and different partners. The model through the restaurateurs who have premises is to pay them a percentage of their income. This has generated 50 jobs directly. That increases to 300 including indirect jobs, as indicated by the general manager to The New Barcelona Post. In Barcelona corresponds to the ninth Time Out Market worldwide. Since its first opening in 2014, in Lisbon, it is a model that has been replicated in Cape Town, Boston, Chicago, Dubai, Montreal, New York and Porto.
Global project that generates gastronomic talent
In addition to other future openings, it will be developed around the world from Budapest, Vancouver and Osaka. According to Voltas, he says: “It is a global project that generates a network of gastronomic talent worldwide, to which chefs from Barcelona are now joining. It’s a great opportunity for exchange and to showcase the city’s cuisine.” As you can see, the Time Out Market is reborn with unique flavors that attract locals to its stalls. And launching this space coincides with the America’s Cup, which contributes to Barcelona’s people rediscovering the Port Vell, according to Voltas. So, anyone who wants to enjoy these spaces can do so, it will be a great experience.
