What frustrates me is that businesses will go out of there way to post inaccurate reviews, for the benefit of themselves. Last time I was here I did not get what I expected.

However, it says it comes with fries, so I wasn't aware I could have had two different sides instead. The waitress never explained that. I was told this as they were telling me that the first steak was overdone because they had so many orders at once, there were a total of 4 tables with people, including us. If they can't handle orders for four tables at once they shouldn't be in the business. We won't be going back, not the best Portuguese food out there.

But the food was a bit of a let down. I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out over cooked. It wasn't burnt or anything but it was closer to well done than medium rare. My wife ordered the grilled octopus. It had a weird consistency throughout. The edges did have some nice charring to it though.

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!

Paella anyone? I bet you haven't heard that in a while. And…read morehonestly, who knew it was such a Portuguese thing too? We all know Spain made it famous, but Portugal? INSANE. 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.

Apart from the sickness, the food is atrocious! It is nothing like the Red Rooster locations on Major MacKenzie Drive. I've been to this location on several occassions and the food is always horrible, but I keep going back because I love the Major Mac restaurants and keep hoping I might get something that resembles the food at the other locations. Be aware. Not only is the food bad but so is the sanitary conditions.
