Bolhão Temporary Market features showcooking events on the first Saturday of every month. The first professional cook to make anyone's mouth water is Pedro Lemos.

The "Chef no Bolhão" initiative is part of the municipal programme "Sábados no Mercado", which offers visitors to the Bolhão Temporary Market different activities each Saturday of every month.

On 6 October, renowned chef and the first honoured with a Michelin Star of the city of Porto in 2014, Chef Pedro Lemos is also the first to welcome visitors to the initiative "Chef no Bolhão".

This Saturday, the Chef will select products from the Market, and prepare delicious recipes.

This event is organised by the "Gabinete do Mercado do Bolhão" [Bolhão Market Office, free translation], the entity established at the end of 2014 by the Mayor of Porto, Rui Moreira, whose main goal is to closely monitor the transition of both merchants and tenants of Bolhão to the Temporary facilities and also assist them when the time to move to the historic Market comes.

It should be mentioned that the milestone building is undergoing long time due deep renovation work.
