Mercante

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner – having had each meal at this hotel resto at the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane was impressive, comfortable, and tasty, this combination is something that’s not common at many hotel eateries. Many mornings we began the day at an expansive window table overlooking passersby on Piccadilly and The Green Park across the street – great seats, wonderful view. Their Cappuccinos and Full English Breakfast was great too. Though their menu is not extensive, their renditions are good, especially the Fusilli Putanesca and Parmesan Arancini are extremely good, and very worthwhile. The atmosphere is modern, tasteful and the design is conducive to a mild din – where you can have a reasonably quiet conversation. Overall, from breakfast to lunch, to snacks, to evening meal, very good. Kudos to the Staff and Kitchen, well deserved.

We were given a window seat aa this in house restaurant of the Sheraton Grand was very quiet at 18.45, rapid service and good food, bill for two courses and no wine was nearly £100 but, this is Park Lane with view over Hyde Park. Service was very attentive an accommodating. The restaurant was convenient for the show we were attending that evening in the same hotel, namely "The Magic Hour", also recommended. The menu highlighted allergens and Vegan offerings.

Nestled in the heart of London's Sheraton Grand London Park Lane Hotel, Mercante is a hidden gem that takes diners on a culinary journey through the diverse regions of Italy. From the moment you step through the door, the warm and inviting atmosphere welcomes you in, making you feel as though you have been transported to a bustling Italian trattoria. The decor is simple yet elegant, with warm lighting & cosy booths. The menu at Mercante is a celebration of the diverse culinary traditions of Italy, featuring a range of classic dishes and modern interpretations. To start, we ordered Bruschetta, Fritto Misto and the burrata, which was served with fresh cherry tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. The creamy cheese was so delicate that it practically melted in our mouths, and the sweet and tangy tomatoes complemented it perfectly. Next up was the pasta course, and we couldn't resist the CAVATELLI a classic seafood pasta dish. The homemade pasta was cooked to perfection, The pasta was perfect al dente, and the clams, mussels and prawns were tender and flavorful. For our main course, we opted for the fish of the day, a whole roasted seabream served with lemon, garlic, and herbs. The fish was cooked to perfection, with crispy skin and moist, tender flesh. We also tried the Pumpkin Gnocchi and the kids had their usual Margherita pizza. Throughout our dining experience at Mercante, the service was impeccable. Elia, Ivilin and Pedro were knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, and Elia helped guide us through the menu with ease. In conclusion, Mercante is a must-visit restaurant for anyone looking for family-friendly authentic Italian cuisine in London. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is top-notch. Whether you're in the mood for a cosy date night or a celebratory dinner with friends, Mercante is the perfect place to indulge in the flavours of Italy.

I love the atmosphere in the place, we came before the theatre and we where late because of the amazing service, we didn’t want to live, food was really good, I’ll recommend the potato and truffle pizza and the fried zucchini as a side with some drops of Tabasco if you like spice and for sure an entire bottle of wine.
