"I am surprised to see the 5. I beg to differ. The dishes were not a 5 at all. They were not refined enough. The dorado fish was boiled. Therefore slimey and tasteless. The schnitzel was a schnitzel. The same you get in a snackbar. Not much you can do but some more and varied vegetables would have been good and a seperate meat sauce. The menu was very limited for people who do not eat meat. The interior of the resto reminded me a bit of a canteen. The nice thing was that artists displayed their art there but no one in the resto and hotel could give you more info and price list. Not sure where the 5 comes from. It is a simple resto with a high price list. On a positive note, the waiter service was friendly and the wine was good."

Das Il Mercato überzeugt mit dem meiner Meinung nach besten Kalbsschnitzel in Aachen. Die wechselnde Karte sorgt stets für Überraschungen und macht das Restaurant zu einem Geheimtipp. Die freundliche Bedienung und das persönliche Interesse des Kochs tragen zu immer wieder zu einem sehr schönen Abend bei."
