The best french toast I have ever had, make sure you order it, Pain Perdu! Also, the ricotta & honey appetizer was delicious.

Highly recommend! Great brunch spot especially love the patio area. The smoked salmon Benedict was amazing! Drinks were amazing as well!

Fantastic spot for brunch! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Mercat Bistro and our server, George was wonderful. I had the croque madame and my husband had the smoked salmon benedict. Both were excellent and really hit the spot. We also got a couple of appetizers to share, including the blistered shishito peppers, and the ricotta and honey. Both were fantastic and made a perfect starter. Everything on the menu is well-thought out and balanced. The fruit infused champagne was also a must-try. I would highly highly recommend if you are in the Dallas area and are looking for a satisfying meal with a Parisian twist :)

I went there for the First time for a quick breakfast, I just had their delicious fresh Almond Croissants with orange juice and it was all so tasty. Their menu was awesome if you want to try European dishes. The atmosphere and music was so nice that it took me away to what I think Paris would be like. Everyone was very friendly. I most definitely will be going back.

Mercat Bistro is the hidden gem of the Harwood District! Casual setting but the food is wonderful and the service was great. Cheyenne was our server and had great menu recommendations to get a little taste of everything. Cocktail menu wasn’t extensive, but all of the drinks were great and paired well with the food. Surprise of the night was the size of the Chocolate Mille Feuille desert, which was fantastic and almost too large to finish. The Mexican Kiss cocktail is a standout!

I saw that they had what appeared to be a fabulous happy hour in my neighborhood. I am new to Dallas and exploring. I had a Tres bien experience. My bartender’s name was Francie and she could not have been nicer and a great mixologist as well. I had the blueberry mint martini, the salmon, appetizer, a few oysters that were a perfect size and delicious, also the ricotta cheese appetizer. Atmosphere is inviting although AC is little cold. Host was very cordial and greeted me in French as was fitting for a French bistro.

Such a cute little spot! The ricotta was AMAZING, we also got oysters and smoked salmon. The bartender was adorable and sweet. Only thing I would love to see this place add is the ingredients of the cocktails on the menu. I can be kinda picky and know what I like and don’t like and I wasn’t about to make the bartender verbally list off the ingredient of every martini, so we just beers to be safe. For example, I saw a blackberry martini, is it vodka? Gin? Is it with fresh muddled black berries or a blackberry flavored liquor? Other than the menu being vague, everything was 10/10

We visited this lovely restaurant today, just a day before our friends’ wedding, to celebrate with a small group. The ambiance was beautiful—not only perfect for enjoying a meal but also ideal for capturing some cute couple photos. Our waitress, Chanel, truly made our experience special. She was incredibly friendly and thoughtful, providing excellent service throughout our visit. We were especially touched when she brought blueberries and water for our dog, which made us feel very welcomed. I would absolutely return to this charming spot if I find myself in Dallas again. Highly recommend!

This fine dining establishment is in Uptown Dallas. Since we had just viewed the Impressionist exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art, we thought it fitting to complement that experience by dining at this French cafe. We found free street parking nearby, but it looks like parking could be challenging at other times. It opens at 5:00 p.m. for dinner on Saturday evenings. We arrived when they opened their doors, so the place was empty except for the staff on hand. Consequently, we received excellent service. The staff were well dressed, so expect to wear collared shirts. Business casual is a minimum. Ladies, this is a great reason to get dressed up. They also serve lunch during the week and have brunch on the weekends. It's quite popular for brunch apparently, so make a reservation. We didn't have a dinner reservation, but it appears that is something expected of diners, especially if you plan to arrive later in the evening when it gets busy. The hostess did take our name and phone number and put our information in her database. The cafe is cute, stylish, with a dramatic rustic appearance. The dark wood chairs, the fine white linen table clothes, and white rose blooms with candlelight at each table give it an elevated experience. We started with the Ricotta and Honey. This is such a light, refreshing appetizer which is great for sharing. It was served with small pieces of fresh white bread. It's nice to note that you could order several small plates and enjoy them as tapas shared with your party. First the entree, my husband selected the striped sea bass. It had a crispy outer crunch and a perfectly flaky interior texture. The lemon butter sauce with capers was absolutely perfect atop this fish and grilled asparagus. My husband exercised great restraint in not licking the plate, but he was uncouth by scraping his fork along the ceramic surface to scoop up every morsel of the buttery goodness he could gather. Who has the recipe for this brown butter sauce? My husband will gladly pay you for it. I went for the roasted venison which was served medium rare and sliced in half dollar sized medallions. It was accompanied by a cooked red cabbage and spaetzle, a small egg noodle. The meat was tender and tasty. I would definitely recommend it. I shared a bite with my husband, and he was begging for more. We both ordered desserts. You have the option to get a full portion, which we mistakenly did. These were as big as our main course. You can also ask for an individual portion which is apparently much smaller, more of a sample to taste. We ordered the Caramel Hazelnut Crunch which was sort of a chocolate hazelnut ganache. The menu said mousse, but it was quite dense. It had a hardened shell with crispy bits decorating the outside edge. Some fluffy cream was served on the side. I love hazelnut, but I was not overly impressed with this dessert. My husband enjoyed it. He was drawn to it because the name started with "caramel", but I didn't taste or even see any caramel included in this recipe at all. I opted for the bread pudding. It surprised me that such a low-brow dish graced the menu here, but I love it so much, I always get it when I see it on the menu. It was monstrous in size and topped with chocolate ice cream. It satisfied my sweet tooth, but I doubt I would get it again unless I got the smaller portion to share with someone. I'd like to note that they have a full bar and a lot of wines available. We just had water. The waiter regularly visited our table to top off our water glasses. They were small in size, but they were never left empty. Our meal was about $125. The quality and service definitely fit the price.

Mercat Food: The onion soup was good. The sea bass and asparagus were okay. Service: The service was good. The staff was attentive and accommodating. I like the access to a pitcher of water. Ambiance: It's funny how many places tuck single diners into a corner. Also, I was a bit too close to the people next to me as I felt I was invading their space when I tried to get out from the table on the long bench seat. Cleanliness: The dining room and bathroom were clean. The lock on the bathroom door didn't turn all the way, so be careful. Price: The price is high for the quality of the food. Overall: I came here because they had a special meal called A Taste of Paris in which you choose from the chef's curated dishes. It is at the top of the menu. When I ordered it, the server was confused but then said they didn't have that for a long time. It's still on the website menu also.
