Il Mercato Centrale |
The much-anticipated food hub modelled on a hit Italian chain is now open.
546 Collins Street, Melbourne (Near corner of King St and Collins St)
The three-level food and beverage utopia will include an artisanal market, two restaurants, on-site gin and vodka distillery, coffee roastery, wine and cocktail bar.
Mercato (meaning 'market' in Italian) is the brainchild of Italian entrepreneur Umberto Montano and is best described as a hub for Italian food - a huge, artistic, fancy hub, that is.
Brought to Australia in partnership with Eddie Muto of the Barman & Larder Group (Left Bank, Flour Child, Metropolis Events), it's all about celebrating Italian cuisine and culture through an artisan-led offering.
The first floor will house bakeries where fresh bread, pizzas and sweets will be made fresh on-site daily. There will also be butchers, seafood stalls, pasta shops and cheesemakers selling their produce. Upstairs will feature two restaurants with kitchens made without stainless steel, designed to mimic a traditional kitchen at home where diners can eat around the kitchen table. There is also a smaller 500-square-metres 'to do' space on the third level where activities like educational programs, cooking classes, and book and film reviews will take place.
