In the heart of Glasgow’s Merchant City you’ll discover the food and passion of Spain in the form of Mercado. The title translates as ‘market’, which certainly relates to the history of this cobbled courtyard setting, where you can dine alfresco all year round.

Deep and warm tones create a relaxed ambience, with the gentle waft of music transforming Mercado into an authentic Spanish venue. Flavoursome tapas and sizzling piri-piri platters abound with mouth-watering delights to feast on.

Starters of olives and a variety of breads are just teasers, preceding the range of delights to follow. Consider black pudding cooked in a red wine reduction or deep-fried squid with a sambuca and smoked paprika Marie Rose, washed down with a glass of Rioja. A range of paellas and cuisine from the grill, such as barbecued ribs and steaks, cater for the broad and discerning clientele, while the range of ice cream sundaes is pure dessert heaven.

The authentic experience of Mercado continues within the separate, contemporary bar area. The comfortable sofas are perfect for reclining with a newspaper, while discovering the wide range of beverages on offer. The attentive staff facilitate a memorable and enjoyable experience, ensuring you’re always welcome. Nos vemos allí.
