What – and exactly where – is One Market?
One Market is a freshly built, open-air “fashion-food district” that occupies the ground level of the One Living development, two blocks inland from the coast on Avenida Pedro Álvares Cabral, 2750-184 Cascais. It sits on the site of the old bullring, just north of Cascais historic centre. The square is ringed by boutique eateries such as Pasta Non Basta, The Butler Gastrobar and Delta Espresso, with leafy lawns and plenty of terrace seating.
