LOUIX LOUIS

I went for a meal before a concert at Scotiabank Arena and I'm so happy I picked Taverna! The service was fantastic, my waiter was so friendly. My food was all great, my starter of olives was simple but they were so good! My gnocchi was lovely and the tiramisu was a nice light finish. The decor was also so cute. It is also so nice and close to Scotiabank, I would def go again before another show (or just because!)

I went to check out the Happy Hour at Taverna Mercatto which is 3-5pm daily. I was greeted quickly and seated. My server Sebastián was great and attentive. The $9 glasses of wine are a good deal and I enjoyed the Prosecco very much. I ordered a 1/2 price pizza which was very reasonable however it was a bit wet with too much sauce for me. Also the crust wasn’t my favourite. I would return to try some of their regular price appetizers and have another Prosecco.

✨ Dinner at Taverna Mercatto ✨ I visited this restaurant after spending a bit of a night out and was immediately drawn in by how warm and inviting it looked from the street. The soft lighting, cozy design, and gentle background music created a relaxing atmosphere. It wasn’t too loud or crowded which made it perfect for an easy late dinner. I started with the Shrimp Salad which looked beautiful and fresh, but it was a bit too spicy for my taste. My server noticed and kindly offered to replace it with another dish at no charge, which I really appreciated. I switched to the Arctic Char and that dish completely made my night. The skin was perfectly crispy and cracked when I tapped it with my fork, and the fish underneath was soft and flaky. The sauce spread on the plate was delicious and I kept dipping each bite in it. The asparagus and other vegetables were cooked just right, still fresh and warm, and the dish smelled amazing. Everything about it felt light, flavorful, and comforting. It’s one of those meals that makes you slow down and really enjoy each bite. The service was attentive, the vibe was cozy, and the food felt fresh and thoughtfully made. I’d definitely come back to try another dish next time.
