Have some spare time and hungry in Porto? Get over to Mercado Bom Sucesso for a large assortment of food products, prepared cuisines, cooking workshops, and a glass of Portuguese wine. These tasty treats are served under a beautifully renovated mid-century modern building with vaulted ceiling and lots of natural light from an array of windows. Mercado Bom Sucesso is at Praça Bom Sucesso, No. 3.
Mercado Bom Sucesso was originally opened in 1952, with 10,000 sqm of space. The soaring modern design was by architects Fortunato Leal, Cunha Leal and Morais Soares. At that time, the market was a bustling center for commerce, but over the decades, with the growth of shopping malls and the city expanding outward, the market became less popular and ultimately closed.
In 2011, the Mercado Bom Sucesss was given the distinction of “Building of Public Interest” by the Ministry of Culture and IGESPAR (the Institute for the Management of Architectural and Archaeological Heritage). The entire structure was renovated, inside and out, by FA.A Architects. The existing space was divided into a four-star hotel (Hotel Musica) and offices, and the commercial space for fresh produce and food service.
The Fresh Market offers vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, flowers, among many other products at affordable prices.
Additionally, there are 44 spaces serving gourmet, quick and tasty meals, perfect for lunch, afternoon snacks, early evening tapas or dinner. Most feature Portuguese food products and cuisines from different regions across the country, including cheeses and cakes, meats and juices….and of course, Portuguese wines.
