What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about Restaurante Mercado's exceptional service and exquisite food, particularly highlighting the perfectly balanced ceviche and flavorful patatas bravas. The attentive staff, including owners, are noted for their personalized care, even accommodating dietary restrictions. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, one review briefly mentions a dish (Bao bun) as not being memorable and another calls the restaurant 'Carisimo' (very expensive).
"Good tapas and wines. Liked the croquetas de cecina and also the paloma de ensaladilla. I would go back."

"The service, the food, the place, everything deserves a 5 star rating plus. One of the owner was there and made every effort to accommodate the food needs of my vegan friend, getting her something special and off the menu. As for us, the calamari, the risotto, the wine!!!! Everything a delicious recommendation by her. It wasn’t just a dinner. It was a dinning experience :)"
