Corsican market, local producers' stalls

A market in Porto?

No market here — but real local producers, and a few markets close by

A common question

In all honesty: no, there is no market in Ota-Porto

Many visitors ask us this question when they arrive. The honest answer: Ota-Porto has no market at present. But that doesn't mean settling for the supermarket aisle for everything — several local addresses let you eat Corsican and support producers from the area, without leaving Porto.

Where to find local producers

L'Hibiscus
Outlet for local producers
The L'Hibiscus shop in Porto works with several producers from the region — a good place to stop for local produce.
Fruit & vegetables
At the Porto Spar
The Spar supermarket remains the simplest option for everyday fruit and vegetables.
Cheese
Direct sale, Xavier Pagnini
The cheese is sold direct by Xavier Pagnini, a local shepherd — genuine local produce, with no middleman.
Local honey
At L'Hibiscus or the Crêperie de l'Ora
Locally produced honey can be found at L'Hibiscus or the Crêperie de l'Ora.
Olive oil, charcuterie & fish
Local products — the fish reserved for locals
Porto has its own olive oil and its own charcuterie. Only the fish is reserved for locals rather than sold directly to the general public.
