Mercato (已結業)

I am always in love with Salmon Tartare, honestly not many places can execute the Salmon Tartare perfectly. This place has perfectly cooked this dish, first if all, there is a generous of salmon, they are fresh and tasty and blended together well in the overall dish. It is also beautifully plated that you want to take a shot of it right away.

Went for an anniversary meal with my wife and the restaurant was perfect for this occasion without being pretentious. Would definitely go back!

I went for the second time and felt betrayed as I ordered a decaf to finish the meal and got a real coffee instead. I guess they didn't have decaf anymore and the staffs felt smart to give what they had instead. They could just tell me that they didn't have it anymore and I would have just forgotten about it. But now I am writing this negative comment at 4:30am as I am insomniac because of their caffeine. Very average Italian restaurant for Hong Kong standard. The place is quite dark, food is no

Mr friends and I didn't really make a plan for visiting this restaurant, we walked by and found this.The ambience is very comfortable and a very good chill out place for weekend hangouts. They also go a balcony which I really like about. For pizza, I have ordered a salmon with avocado pizza, which sounds more healthy, less meaty. I feel like I am in Italy with every bite of the pizza, the crust is light and crispy, with a generous of fillings on top. What a good spot that I would like to come ba

在restaurant week快結束的時候，來這邊試了一下lunch menu.Entree的Salmon tartare份量比較小，麵包也很英淇，這樣比起來的話，反而一開始坐低送的麵包更好吃.不過我們選的兩個main course還是很好吃的這個面的樣子不太討好，但是味道很好，很入味，菜也非常鮮甜，cheese的量也給的剛好，不會很膩這個脆皮雞肉也很好吃😋，不要小看盤子裡的薯片，吸收了肉和sauce的精華，很美味最好吃的莫過於甜品甜品更勝過鹹點，不過我看到其它桌的甜品就是restaurant week上的甜品組合，因為其它桌是吃Brunch的，就覺得這個restaurant week的menu比較沒有心意

今次去高空發展，咁岩做gym 係加州大厦，所以決定加州大厦入面求其選擇一間，點指兵點中依間餐廳。入到餐廳我念大部人都會比佢既裝修吸引，簡單但有氣派。我好鐘意。服務唔錯，侍應完全無待慢過。上菜速度快而準，唔會因爲係lunch而亂咁上菜，睇得出待應同廚房溝通得好好，食完第一道菜先叫廚房準第二道，保證到食物溫度。我覺得一間餐廳好唔好食好睇佢可唔可以做到一個好既lunch，而依間佢就做到！我原本唔太鍾意意大利菜，因為全部意粉薄餅蕃茄，調味又要小，覺得好悶。但依間有啲唔同。我係佢份set lunch menu 選擇左蕃茄湯同sea bass ，個湯濃而不酸，香濃蕃茄味帶小小香草味，湯面加上九層塔增加不小風味！Sea bass 炸得岩岩好，外脆內軟。。加上酸菜食到停唔到口！依間餐廳可以經常黎！

星期六又要返公司做嘢，午餐就要食好啲唔好代薄自己。左揀右揀決定食西餐，就到加州大廈，見到呢間餐廳未試過就決定去試吓。原來餐廳星期六做半自助餐，但我要盡快食然後趕返公司做嘢，所以只係選擇食一個暖海鮮沙律。餐前送上的麵包十分美味，尤其是那長條形的，有很香的蒜蓉味又脆口。沙律的擺盤十分美麗，內裏有兩隻蝦，三隻蜆，一粒帶子，但就十分多八爪魚。還好八爪魚有鮮味又不會太韌。蝦及帶子都是新鮮有甜味的，但是蜆就有一點點沙但都鮮甜。本人略嫌沙律汁太酸。這裏的環境是盡量採用天然光因三面也是有窗的，座位與座位之間略嫌比較密，但也坐得舒服。

When the weekend is approaching, it means that we can relax for a bit. Hence, it’s team lunch time in the heart of central! We picked Mercato for lunch today since they have a nice view and of course good food with great deal set. All of us have ordered different set and I picked their famous tomato with burrata for starter, pan fried sea bass for the main. Last but not least, all their signature desserts as well! The bread basket came first and the whole team was fighting to finish it and we en

My friends and I went there last Saturday for brunch. We ordered few pizzas and a pasta. They put a lot of cheese and truffles into the food!Yummilicious!We ordered teo mocktails, forgot the names, but both actually taste like mojito without the rum!Best part is free flow of wine for 2 hours, and we can order this separately， since not everyone arrives at the same time and not everyone want to drink alcohol at this time of the day!

I had the worst dining experience ever at this restaurant.1)   My friends and I reserved a table for 4 two weeks ago.  It turned out that we did not make it to sit in the main hall. The staff arranged for a table for us at the far end corner of the restro.  We asked the staff for moving our seats to the main hall.  They refused and said that because they had to gather empty tables at the main hall to accommodate another reservation for 12/8 people at 9 pm.  At the end, we observed that those emp

mercato見到報導，今晚這餐廳有紐約殿堂級的廚師-曾是米芝蓮三星廚Jean Georges vongerichten到臨，而且只此一晚, 今晚就去拜訪一下。 餐廳裝潢型格，加上特別的燈飾效果，氣氛十足。今晚試試坐露台，估唔到感覺開揚，好chill，同唔熱幾舒服。我們全部都選擇了Jean Georges 的Taste of spring ( five courses)menu,$488 per personBroccoli and kale salad/ poached egg, croutons and Parmesan 水波旦、沙律、羊奶芝士：這沙律用上大量的羽衣甘藍，感覺清新而獨特。弄穿水波旦，旦汁拌以羊奶芝士同kale, 味道由清新變得豐富起來，是幾ok的開胃菜。House made tagliatelle/ apparatus, favs beans and pesto羅勒醬自家製扁意粉：這意粉看來綠油油，入口濕潤，口感煙韌有咬感，吃得出是新鮮手工製。而意粉醬汁是羅勒醬，味道好green，有香草味道；醬汁均勻地包住每一條意粉，充滿清新氣息唔膩口。Pan seared hal

"What exactly is there inside the California tower" and I would say it's a fair enough question, labelling is "Proudly home to the city's finest restaurant", although I am sure that JinJuu should be excluded on the list, I guess I should not stereotype the whole tower based on only one restaurant. But in terms of restaurant, what else is exactly there? This time, it is the Mercato on the eighth floor. Mercato, the Italian word for market, makes things a little clearer for what type of cuisine we

聚餐活動去了蘭桂坊、朋友約了這一家、進去看菜單才猛然想起來原來兩年前在別的城市有光顧過。裝潢氣氛到沒有特別的不同，也是開在名聲在外的地帶，服務水準也都大同小異比起一般香港的餐廳好太多 —— 所以服務費給得還算安心。只是廚房的菜色有些差別、偶尔觉得现在的餐厅传统的东西做得不够圆满、创意菜色又不够好味。最后吃完了一大堆東西下來、竟然覺得pizza是烤得最好吃的。去義大利餐廳意義回歸了最基礎的本色。然後冰淇淋也就還好、吃慣了和味、再高明的gelato都是浮雲。☁️

最近電視重溫Still Alice,深感生活無常,正常活動和思考的每一天都是恩賜..有思考就可以選擇,有選擇就要揀好的..對我來說,寧可不吃也不要亂吃,把不入流的食物灌進肚子,只謂生存,與不入流的人同桌,以高圾的說法是"掉價";很可惜,身處的城市充滿掉價的食肆和讓人遺憾的食物質素.在網路平台選擇食店和參考食評,要小心,魔鬼在細節中,故此從來不看試食稿和KOL推介,為何要浪費時間讀廣告?純屬個人偏見,若要參考,會先看"ok"和"負評"review,相反個人就較少寫哭臉負評,不是那麼幸運從沒遇上,只是懶得花時間去挑起鋪天蓋地不好的記憶,自己打落牙齒和血吞算了. 值得記錄的,不論過了多久,那美好經驗和味道彷彿還在舌尖迴盪,令你骨肉酥麻,當然這些經驗還屬罕有.2018 Restaurant Week剛開始,才想起上趟Mercato的後記仍沒有寫下..某週日下午於Mercato用膳,就是一次沒有失望的體驗,當然感覺是個人化,相同廚師烹調的食物亦每次水準不一.這篇review只是單純記錄一次獨立用餐經驗而已.是次給安排了臨近吧枱窗前位置,灑落的午後陽光柔和舒服,遠離大廳相對清靜多了.我們分別選了以
