Mercato Ilford

Mercato Ilford recently opened its doors to a wave of anticipation, excitement, and the smell of good food.

Located in a transformed car park in the heart of the cultural quarter in Ilford, the new space provides local people and visitors to the borough with a stylish, vibrant, and buzzing destination where they can enjoy a range of different cuisines and dishes from around the globe, alongside a backdrop of entertainment and music.

As one of four Mercato locations in London, including Mayfair, Mercato is set to create over 100 jobs and boost our local economy amongst a community well known for buying, shopping, eating locally, and supporting local businesses.

The 17 trading partners, whose produce have been farmed sustainably and offer halal options, include Ethiopian, Jamaican, Mexican, Indian, and Turkish food. Every trader also offers a £5 lunchtime meal deal Monday to Friday making Mercato an affordable choice.

There’s also a couple of bars to enjoy a drink, and dessert for those of you with a sweet tooth, so there is something for everyone.
