Mercado Agrícola de Montevideo
Mercado Agrícola (MAM)
This iron-framed market, built in 1913 and converted into a food market in 2013, brings together fresh produce, butchers, craft beers and restaurants.
The Mercado Agrícola (MAM) is in the Goes neighborhood. Built in 1913, it keeps its wide iron-frame roof and colored glass in good condition, and it reopened after restoration in 2013. Inside you will find fresh produce, cheese, butchers and imported food stalls, as well as barbecue restaurants, seafood bars, craft beers and ice cream. It is a good place for lunch or to try the chivito, Uruguay's national sandwich. It feels closer to daily local life than the port market, and prices are friendlier. It is about a 15-minute drive from the Old City.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–22:00 (hours vary by stall)
