The Red Market is a three-story wet market located in Macau side, in Horta e Costa area of the Macau peninsular. A rich variety of seafood produce is available twice daily from mainland China or locally. In addition, meat (third floor), fish (second floor), poultry, vegetables (ground floor), dried food, fresh fruits, flowers and other perishable products (outside at the Red Market Pedestrian Street) are also sold there.
Built in 1936, the building is a local landmark and its name refers to the red brick that was used for construction. It was designed by local architect Julio Alberto Basto and is also one of the most emblematic constructions in Macau, contrasting with its local and industrial surroundings.
Red Market is a very popular spot amongst locals and people looking for the freshest products to cook. There’s also an array of restaurants, shops and other sites in this area. If dining inside the market isn’t really for you, we love dining at Long Wa Tea house just across the street. It opened in 1962 and has long been a popular dining spot for breakfast and afternoon tea among Macau locals- just look for the pastel yellow building and follow the stairs up and step into 1960s Macau.
Opening hours: Daily, 7:30am–7:30pm
