Campo de Ourique Market isn’t just great for picking up delicious local products, it’s also a fantastic spot to slip in and eat in the food court. Meroir is our favorite of them all, thanks to its featured item: oysters. Slurp down a dozen with a glass of sparkling wine or grab a kilo in a takeaway box — these top-tier Portuguese oysters won’t disappoint.
The staff is on a mission to convert skeptics and delight afficionados. While their own production comes from the Sado River, their oysters aren’t just from Setúbal — they source from Aveiro, Alvor, and the Algarve’s Ria Formosa too. Prices start at €2 per oyster, served plain, with lemon, Tabasco, or balsamic vinegar. But if you want to level up, they also occasionally whip up oyster and shrimp ceviche, oyster tartare, and even oyster tempura on the spot.
Whether you’re an oyster devotee or just oyster-curious, Meroir is there to shuck your expectations! Don’t miss it.
