Mercat 1930 — Restaurant in Palma

A few years ago I went to the “Time Out Market” Lisbon. Sounds like a tourist trap, looks like a tourist trap but it does an immense job of providing brilliant local food to tourists at good prices. The wine is also immaculate.

Unfortunately Mercat 1930 is not quite that despite the similar appearance. For me the food is not bad but a bit overpriced (I paid €4.50 for one raw Oyster and lemon / I think I get a better price in Claridges in London). I also had some Serrano ham which was delicious but overpriced. The bread they provided with it was not very good.

One of the most disappointing aspects for me was the wine and beer. The wine selection is reasonably priced (3-5 Euro per glass) but I was disappointed by the quality.

You have an option of 5 different types inspiered by Hamburg, Dorchester, Brujas and London. All beers have ist own unique taste and you can eiter order them by glass or you can try them all together in little tasting glasses and choose your favorite afterwards or just...

I do not recommend. after consuming a salmon tartare, I had enterocolitis, after which I needed hospitalization. I chose this place based on the reviews, but I made a mistake. Also, there is a lot of waiting in line to order and the staff is not the friendliest either. I do not recommend!

Re: I speak as a doctor. I understand that you may freeze all your products beforehand, but this is more of a sign that you are not serving fresh food. From the point of view of quality control, you should know that not only the improper conditions can lead to an infectious enterocolitis, but also the improper handling of the fish and poor hygiene during its processing. Also, I was not the only one with stomach problems, I was the one that decided to...
