Mercat a la Planxa is a modern Catalan tapas bar and restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, midday menus, and dinner seven days a week with extended hours on Friday and Saturday.
The menu is designed and executed by acclaimed Chef Jose Garces, a 2007 James Beard Award finalist and wildly successful Chef/Owner of Amada and Tinto in Philadelphia. Mercat’s spectacular design, a cooperative effort of d-ash design and Korn Design, transports diners to a hip Barcelona neighborhood with accents that evoke the style of famed Catalan architect Antonio Gaudi and custom-designed tables commissioned exclusively for Mercat by Los Angeles artist Jorge Pardo. The cuisine focuses on Catalunya, with an emphasis on freshness—specifically, fresh meats and fishes grilled “a la planxa.” Mercat is owned and operated by Peter Karpinski’s Sage Restaurant Group, one of the nation’s leading up-and-coming hospitality firms.
