El Mercado (Closed)

El Mercado @ Wan Chai Hennessey Road. I've recently heard that some of the best food/restaurants can be found in Peru. Excuse my appalling geographical knowledge but I probably know nothing except the fact that it's in south America. So this was an interesting brunch for me. The sunday brunch costs you $298 and the portions are pretty big! Starting off with a salad buffet with some selection of cold cuts, then a tapas, a peruvian styled baked egg (where you can choose 5 ingredients from their li

The environment of the restaurant is very special and nice. The staff are very friendly and at the time when he hand me the menu, he brief me on the background of this place, he told me it's a Peruvian and Japanese fusion cuisine and I would be able to find lots of element in the Japanese in the dish which I certainly did. I tried Chicken Anticucho which I like it and the staff toldMe to try beef which he told me it's way better than chicken. I also tried the rose garden as dessert which I m not

Came here to celebrate my helper's birthday. We ordered two rib eye steaks, both very nicely done, steak is tender and juicy. Staff are great, I originally informed the staff when booking it was for a birthday, so pls write a happy birthday message on her dessert. With the two 14oz steaks, salad, empanadas and fries, we were all too full to get any dessert. I asked for the bill and went to the washroom, thinking about leaving afterward. As I returned from the washroom, the manager pulled me as

印象中香港的秘魯菜餐廳一直不多，剛好從朋友口中推薦這家餐廳就馬上跟幾個朋友來試試看它的午餐。因為對秘魯菜不太了解所以點菜的時侯就先點了一些餐廳的招牌菜，服務員也很好耐性慢慢介紹他們的菜單，因為我們比較多人，所以叫的菜都一起分享。整體來說，每一度菜都有給我不同層度的驚喜，材料非常新鮮煮法也蠻健康，有一些菜也可以看到跟日派菜的混合而帶出驚喜的味道。下一次會再回來試試它們晚餐😋

聽說現在秘魯菜變成國際美食了，秘魯不少餐廳也成了世界熱門餐廳。那當然要試試，去不了秘魯可以在香港吃秘魯菜嘛哈哈很早以前聽朋友說中環的chicha 很不錯，可惜已經撐不下去關了門。全港的秘魯菜就五家，中午lunch break 就選在離公司最近的灣仔（這個理由也是很扯）中午一點到達餐廳，人不多，餐廳也不大，裝修得很明亮舒服。嚴重懷疑上一手是做日本菜的，餐廳中間居然有生料吧檯。午餐是set，128起，有湯，麵包，salad bar ，主菜，甜品，drink 。湯和沙律都不錯，簡簡單單味道也很到位。小漢堡和辣味的salami ，粟米都值得吃。服務員會等你吃夠了salad bar 才上主菜的，可以慢慢享受。接下來是主菜部分。秘魯油封鴨，不知道有什麼特別（可能是特別鹹）。外皮很脆，裡面已經軟到可以輕鬆脫骨，一刀切下去已經知道這個鴨腿不會差了，配上牛油果和調味飯，根本就是comfort food 嘛。吃完又要胖兩斤。另外點了比較秘魯的串燒牛心牛味很重，但不是騷味，是很好的牛味。肉質又恨嫩，算是處理得很好，缺點是冷得好快！旁邊配的番薯加甜椒醬讓人欲罷不能。好邪惡的感覺。好了，探險式的秘魯菜還算是蠻成

I have been here for lunch several times. Good Service, great food and reasonable price. Their coffee is a must-try item. You will regret if you miss it! Dining at El Mercado is one of the best dining experiences I have encountered in Hong Kong. Highly recommended!

Went there twice recently and really enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. El Mercado is the perfect place to have a nice long dinner with a friend or date as the atmosphere is intimate. Special shootout to Sandeep who took such good care of us and made sure my friends and I had a good time! Will definitely be back and will be recommending this place to friends. Pro tip: go for the chocolate lava cake if you have space for dessert. Sooo good! The yuzu sorbet is really good too!

we had a nice and relax dinner. Overall the main courses didn't give me much surprise but the duck confit with good presentation and taste was to standard. The pan fried beef had much chinese fusion added to it, in terms of sauce and cooking style. The dessert was indeed an awesome surprise. the ice-cream was smooth, its favor was mild but brought straight to our nose and taste buds. very comforting.The gin cocktail with the cucumber was refreshing and with enough portion of gin.

The service was one of the best I have experienced in Hong Kong. The managers and servers were very attentive and friendly.Besides the service, their food was very fresh and great. There was a semi-buffet and main courses to choose from along with desserts. The Peruvian food here is really the deal.I would highly recommend and will definitely return in the future.

Nice friendly smiley faces  and warm greetings by the restaurant staff as we stepped in.  The great dining experience began from the drinks, even the buns arrived before the meals were Sooooo Goooood!  The only thing to pick on was the wooden bench chairs, it'd be even more comfy if it's cushioned.  But the manager promised she will react to our suggestion.  I really enjoyed the "people" there, they are very sincere and passionate - this is something hard to find at most busy restaurants.  They

First time trying this fusion restaurant. Very unique and well done. Food is of good quality and well prepared. Staff very nice and helpful. The egg fusion is one of the most special dish ever had. Will try it again.

朋友與我都十分鐘情秘魯菜，秘魯情懷湧現，就去左El Mercado。熱情果MOCKTAIL秘魯出產熱情果，熱情果汁相當普遍，叫左杯熱情果MOCKTAIL，雖然冰就多左D，不過酸酸地幾開胃。Ceviche Classico (Seabass in Leche de Tigre with Sweet Potatos)前菜先來個Ceviche ，即係生奄sea bass我認為呢個CEVICHE 真係好似秘魯食個隻，係香港做ceviche做得最好既一間餐廳。Quinoa Salad (White and Red Quunoa, Soy Bean, Tomato, Roasted Sweet Corn, Fresh Coriander and Raisin)，再來Quinoa Salad , 即係黎麥，亦都出產自南美，個味道寡左D但都可以，好岩喜歡清淡口味既朋友。Duck Confit (Slow cooked duck confit served with coriander rice, seasonal vegetables and avocado salad)之前lunch食過一次，覺得

free flow starter session + 1 main course start at 128/168/188, food quality is surprisingly good!

Lunch Time 與公司同事進餐 ， 沙律buffet 雖然選擇不多，但勝在夠新鮮, 健康好味。我試了主菜 Grilled Chicken Anticucho: 雞肉串所使用了的醃料令到上菜時香味大大增加，味道食得出包含多種香料,  肉質相當嫩滑多汁，賣相看得出廚師的心思。 不過 食物太吸引掛住食, 唔記得要影相，到甜品先記得影相。 甜品方面, 賣相不錯, 味道好吃不膩。服務員熱心介紹每一種菜式, 十分細心。  另外 換碟,加水方面也做得很全面， 值得一讚。整體上, 絕對值得一試的餐廳!!

Very nice and authentic Peruvian cuisine - similar to what I had in Latin America two years ago. Courteous and friendly service. The Leche de Tigre sauce is amazing !
