Mercato brings to life the vibrance of an upscale Italian trattoria. Savour authentic Italian dishes and cocktails from our Spritzeria in our warm indoor space and generous terrace overlooking the Athenian Riviera.

It’s one of the Mediterranean’s most enduring traditions: family and friends gathered around a heaving table, decompressing and reconnecting over delicious dishes made with love.

Not Up to Four Seasons Standards I recently attended the brunch at Mercato, Four Seasons, and unfortunately, it did not meet expectations, especially given the €80 per person price tag. While I was excited about the idea of a buffet, I wish they offered à la carte options for those seeking a more curated dining experience. The drink selection was particularly underwhelming—only coffee (which I have to say it was good) and water were included in the price. For a brunch at this level, a sparkling wine option, or at least a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage, would have been expected. As for the food, the fish and oysters had clearly been sitting out for hours, which was disappointing and made me hesitant to try more seafood. The tartare was also subpar, lacking freshness and flavor. Adding to the discomfort was the ambiance. The music was loud, and the constant noise from screaming children shattered any sense of luxury or relaxation. It felt more like a chaotic family restaurant than a sophisticated Four Seasons experience. Overall, the brunch fell far short of the high standards associated with the Four Seasons name. I hope the management reconsiders the setup and include a more serene atmosphere.

Mercato restaurant has a beautiful balcony to sit and dine with great view. Unfortunately we had to sit inside because of the weather. I believe that the management needs to improve the inside space dramatically (decoration wise) We sat near the kids dining area and it was very noisy until 11:00pm ! The food and service was overall nice.

Our experience at Mercato fell short of the usual Four Seasons standard. Initially, the evening started off well as we were seated outside and waited for our guests. However, once we moved inside, the service drastically declined. It took about 20 minutes just to get a waiter’s attention, and another 20 minutes to receive the wine we ordered. Throughout the meal, we were never once asked how our food was, which was surprising given the reputation of the restaurant. Additionally, the menu lacked variety, and the dishes we tried were mediocre at best. Unfortunately, this experience did not measure up to other high-end establishments we have dined at on the Athens Riviera.

A beautiful meal in every way. Interesting menu, fun concept of market dining. Our daughter has multiple food allergies and we were well taken care of in a thoughtful but discreet way. We had pasta, pizza, the branzino and house made focaccia- all was well prepared and delicious. Only unfortunate part was that we were too full for dessert.

Alles was super. Van aankomst tot aan het vertrek zijn we in de watten gelegd. Ontzettend vriendelijk personeel die overal op letten. Ze weten alles aan te bevelen en hebben overal kennis van. Een prachtige locatie met zonsondergang en het eten was een dikke 10. Absoluut een aanrader.

We were there for the Sunday lunch buffet. In an elegant space with gorgeous views, we enjoyed outstanding food and service that was as friendly as it was attentive.
