- The market is closed on Sunday and shuts at 17h on Monday; from Tuesday to Saturday its listing gives 7h to 23h. The stalls keep their own hours: Péco is closed on Sunday and Monday, opens at noon, and lists itself as open until 1h on Friday and Saturday. It does not take bookings.
Tiago's pick for the end of the week: a drink and something light on a Friday afternoon, with the children along. He calls it great for families, and his order is the pizza at Péco no Mercado, the pizza stall at number 32.
A neighbourhood market
It is the local market of Foz do Douro: fruit and vegetable stalls, florists, and casual places to eat and drink under one roof, with concerts in season. Among the stalls are a café, an açaí bar, an ice-cream counter, a Portuguese restaurant and a shoe repairer.

“Great place for friday afternoon drinks and lite bites. Great for families. I like peco pizza.”
The recommendation on this page is his, first-hand, as a resident rather than a visitor — which is the only basis on which this site recommends anywhere at all. What he vouches for is that this is a good place for Friday-afternoon drinks and light food, and that it suits families — and his stall, Péco, for the pizza. Everything else on this page — hours, prices, what the place says about itself — is sourced separately and marked.

It lists later hours than the Mercado's own listing; both are reported as listed. The star rating is not cited.
