The food was very fresh, cooked beautifully with authentic flavours and delicious. The place has a lovely atmosphere. We moved seats from inside to outside and then back inside as it became colder and the staff were so accommodating and friendly.

My wife and I go out for dinner every year on our wedding anniversary. We tried The Courthouse Hotel for the first time, last night. Wow. The food, service and atmosphere were perfect. We are already organizing our next dinner with friends there. We would highly recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely loved our first experience at Bar Mercado! We went for the seven-course menu and every dish was fantastic — amazing flavours, great presentation and such a well-thought-out experience. The service was warm and attentive, and the extra dishes and dessert options were such a lovely touch. Everything genuinely exceeded our expectations. Congratulations to the team on one amazing year! 🎉 You’ve created something really special in the Melbourne CBD. Can’t wait to come back!

Very happy with all aspects of location, menu offer, food, service and ambience. Limited number of tables, so it is a good idea to reserve a table.

    We had a wonderful dinner experience. The service was exceptional from the greeting at the door to goodbyes and everything in between. The quantity of food was just right and timing between courses perfect. The flavours of the menu were absolutely awesome with not one dish disappointing. Also the wine list had some serious gems available. We can only describe this dinner as WOW!!
