With popular sites in Elephant and Castle and Mayfair, Mercato Metropolitano expanded with a site in Canary Wharf in 2022. The riverside location brings with it Mercato’s signature ethos - an artisanal food market rooted in global flavours and nutritious produce.
The expansive market is spread across five indoor and outdoor spaces. Inside, high bar stools, long banquet-style benches and large wooden tables create a social, casual environment - tastefully decorated with hanging plants and colourful paintwork. Outside, a handful of deckchairs and picnic cushions are great for soaking up the sun in the summer months, while private garden igloos provide shelter in the winter, with cosy blankets and an intimate seating arrangement. There’s also a basement karaoke suite, which is well-loved for corporate parties, team socials and birthday celebrations.
The food offering at Mercato Metropolitano changes regularly with the seasons, and to showcase different traders. In line with Mercato’s core values, each stall offers locally-sourced ingredients, with sustainability at the forefront. Expect everything from fresh homemade pasta, to Chinese street food, to Jamaican fusion, and even a Basque cheesecake vendor. The MM Bar is a consistent feature of the market, serving a diverse range of cocktails, craft beers and signature spirits.
Mercato Metropolitano also hosts a range of events throughout the calendar year, spanning pizza making classes, and live jazz music. Whether you’re hosting a lively birthday celebration, or popping up for a quick after-work drink, Mercato Metropilitano is a versatile venue suited to any occasion.
Mercato Metropolitano Wood Wharf is a welcome addition to Canary Wharf’s growing hospitality scene, creating an urban hub for city workers and foodies seeking a fun dining spot in the financial district. Particularly in the summer months, this multi-level food market becomes a regular jaunt for Londoners in the area.
