Why you should visit Mercato Metropolitano

I love food shopping. There are few things that make me happier than wandering around a shop looking for tasty things to eat and new things to try. So when I heard about a new food market opening in London, I was excited to pay them a visit.

Mercato Metropolitano is an innovative market based in South London on the site of a disused paper factory.

It specialises in small artisan producers from across the UK and Italy. The range of food available was amazing.

There is an in house bakery

A fabulous range of cheeses

Fresh fruit and vegetables

And even an Italian supermarket

I loved that it was so spacious and well laid out. There was plenty of room to browse.

One of the most innovative features of Mercato Metropolitano is the eating space.

There is a host of stalls offering different meals. The pizza was particularly tempting

My eldest daughter preferred the pasta choices and loved the gnocchi samples that we tasted.

My youngest daughter was more interest in the ice cream stall

Or the desserts and pastries for sale.

Mercato Metropolitano have great plans for the future and you can find out more information about the market and their aims at www.mercatometropolitano.co.uk

I definitely recommend a visit if you get the opportunity. We are planning to go back again and next time we will eat there too.

Speak to you soon
