I N T R O D U C I N G M E R C A D O Mercado was born out of a deep passion for connecting people, over one of life s greatest pleasures; food. Our why...
Why 'Mercado'? Marketplaces are a vibrant mixture of textures, intoxicating tastes and aromas, often memorable, authentic experiences, even for members of their immediate locality. The word Mercado, Spanish for Marketplace, was chosen to symbolise just that; a desire to transport the customer to another place and trigger the positive emotions associated with unique, memorable multi-sensory experiences. Mercado will take the customer on a flavour journey. This sophisticated and multi-layered environment will take the best that food has to offer and deliver it all under one roof; the exquisite smells, the delectable flavours, the colours, the sounds, everything you can envisage. Mercado is about the unimaginable. From the earliest times, man has interacted with food according to one overriding factor: survival. The discovery of food for enjoyment rather than purely survival marked a major step in man s ability to manipulate nature. This integral step in societal evolution gave birth to a completely new facet of life; the opportunity for human beings to connect over something more than just survival. Marketplaces emerged in the early days when humans began engaging in trade - a forum to facilitate the connection of people, that evolve to their localities and reveal to visitors an authentic and unique sense of place. Mercado was born to provide just that; a contemporary meeting place, built on old traditions. A forum that captures the warmth and heart of our city, connects people through food, unites rural and urban and delivers an environment within which we can celebrate place. The concept marks a new step in Brisbane s food culture; a further evolution of our society, where people can encounter food that epitomises freshness and quality, and enjoy it as part of a multi-cultural and multisensory experience.
