Taking its inspiration from the culture-rich country of Italy, the bakery-deli’s name translates to market. And that is exactly the feeling that customers get when they come in from a busy day to browse the selection, grab a bite or replenish their weekly groceries. “The vibrant colours in our décor invite you inside,” says Rosanna Loiero, who owns Mercato with her husband, Salvatore Loiero. “I think we’ve created a very welcoming atmosphere,” he says.

The store offers an outstanding selection of delectable breads, which are baked on premise. If it’s something sweet that you seek, Mercato bakes nearly 30 varieties of treats, using innovative presentations. Decadent cakes and pastries are delicious works of art made fresh by world-class pastry chefs, and prepared in traditional Italian and French styles, with no artificial flavours or preservatives. “Our artisan gelato offers unique and intense flavours, made fresh with wholesome ingredients and no preservatives,” says Rosanna. With a focus on upholding the highest of standards, Mercato satisfies every visitor, but leaves them wanting more. “Our hot table is a popular favourite, because we constantly introduce different dishes,” says Salvatore.
