How it works You select fish in the market, tell the stall owner you are eating in Mercado. They charge for the fish & they deliver the fish to Mercado, confirming it is for you. The restaurant prepare, & in our case, fillet it with expertise at our table The restaurant charge €6 (I think) per person to prepare, cook & serve it. You order extras like tomato rice, chips (not a good idea, I would call them crisps) which the restaurant charges for separately
Restaurant has a starter menu. We ordered Padron Peppers & Sauted Mushrooms
The restaurant is adjacent to the fish market. Fab concept.
We ordered white wine. Wine list lists bottles of wines for between €15 & late €20s. I also got a lovely rose brut bubbles glass for €4.50.
Service was efficient without charm.

Thak you for this experince - sending love and not enough points, because it...
Read moreA 10+ experience. Lots of places to choose from in town. Some rave reviews brought us here. Glad we went and got Ricardo as our waiter. The place is all about good food and service and making your experience special. We ordered many starters and a bottle of local wine Ricardo recommended. One of those places where the food is made with love and the staff a big part of this. Full by 9:30pm and jamming with locals who know where to go for good food. Don't let the menu prices scare you....we ate and drank all night for $40eu. Walking home all the other options we considered had empty restaurants...the Mercado was still packed with a waiting line. In my opinion....the place to eat when in the area. We'll return if ever we...
