At a summary, we ordered the grilled whole chicken, with rice & potatoes as sides, as well as grilled quarter dinner. Normally, I'm not a big fan of grilled chicken, especially the white meat as most often it's dry, but the chicken here were not only tender, but vastly flavorful. Yes, the white meat was a tad on the dry side but combined with the sauce & the saffron rice you barely noticed. The sides were amazing too, and boy was I glad I got rice (despite my asian tendencies to ALWAYS MAKE RICE AT HOME) the rice was extremely flavorful and did a great job to enhance the chicken in tandem, without over powering anything. The potatoes were also still slightly crispy and amazingly fluffy on the inside. The definition of a local gem!

Back to why I do this. I'm endlessly curious about food, people, and the magic that happens when great meals meet good music. Friendships just seem to evolve naturally around a table. And thank you, E, for another incredible photo -- your choices are always perfect. Mercado on St. Clair is a hidden gem. What was once beside my mom's flower shop downtown has now found a home in a slightly more industrial setting on Caledonia -- and somehow, it works perfectly. Cozy seating inside, a great covered patio outside, and that village-style European restaurant vibe you hope to stumble across. First off, the waiter was phenomenal. He walked us through the menu, explained everything perfectly, and genuinely elevated the whole experience. The menu is massive -- meat, seafood, everything you could want -- but we came for the paella. We were told it takes time because they make it the proper way. Not overly crispy, just authentic, rich, and layered with flavour. Worth every minute of the wait. To start, we had the gambas / shrimp in a rich red garlic and herb sauce plus extra toasted bread for dipping, per our waiter's recommendation. Absolute rockstar move. The other appetizer was a delicious beef stew served over crunchy rustic bread. Simple, hearty, and top notch. Now... drum roll please. This may have been the best paella I've ever had. Okay okay, maybe somewhere along the coast in Spain I've had one fresher... but this was absolutely off the charts. Zero fishy smell. Just beautiful saffron-infused rice with that perfect slight crisp, loaded with mussels, clams, octopus, calamari, shrimp, and more. Built for two people to share and completely unforgettable. A few glasses of house white later and bam - there was absolutely no chance I was going back to work. And dessert? I kept telling myself: "No dessert, Frank. No dessert." But there's a rule in life ; if you see crème brûlée on a menu, you order it. This wasn't exactly crème brûlée, but a cheesecake-inspired version of it. Two spoons, four bites, and thank you very much. Favourite meal of the year so far. Completely blown away by this place. Mercatto -- go now. Go fast.

The flavors were very good, the fish was slightly overcooked for my liking but well prepared none the less. I believe it was fresh cod and not previously frozen. The odors in the place was fabulous and most of the food that came out of the kitchen was picture perfect. This is a nice place to have a quiet meal or celebrate an event, pricing was average as most fish places are not cheap and the food does not disappoint.

Everything was super tasty but the shrimp patties could had been better if I reheated it in the oven. The chicken was super moist and the potatoes were so delicious.

It was set alight table side, and we enjoyed the crispy hot sausage. Unfortunately, it took another 30min for our entrees to arrive. My chicken dinner was not even warm, the veggies were overcooked and cold. The only thing hot on my plate was the potatoes, which were delicious.

Out of all the Portuguese restaurants in Brampton, they sure have the most options as far as what they offer on their hot table or made-to-order. They function mainly as a takeout place with some catering options. They are nestled in a plaza just of Kennedy and Clarence St in Brampton with plenty of parking. Their prices are also very reasonable for such great food made with lots of love and cooked in a very traditional way. Today I opted to grab their BBQ chicken special for $9.00 that includes ¼ chicken white or dark meat, BBQ or Rotisserie your choice with two sides, and a pop drink so I got there rice and potatoes you have the choice also of salad or veggies. You can't go wrong at this price. Food 5/5 The chicken was very nicely BBQ with a nice char on the skin and cooked thoroughly, great flavors and with their Spicy hot sauce, it's a kind of like a franks hot sauce taste, it's  a must-have on your chicken, they also give you the option of a mild version if you can't handle the heat. The small round Portuguese potatoes were also just amazing, perfectly cooked, and very tasty. The red Portuguese-style tomato-based rice was also cooked to perfection and delicious. Service 5/5 Super friendly staff, the service was quick and they take care of you with a smile, if you're looking for some amazing Portuguese authentic cuisine I suggest you stop into this place and grab some food you will not be disappointed.
