MEZZA NORTE - Historic Opening of the Mercato of the North!
Read First: MEZZA NORTE: The Mercato Centrale Experience Comes to Quezon City (Starting July 26)!
Thank you to all the foodies who celebrated with us the historic opening week (last July 26-28) of Mezza Norte -- the Mercato of the North!
Despite the rains and the huge crowd, we shared yummy eating moments with friends, and family. It was fun to see the smile on everyone's face and tummy :)
We are adding more tents to make the space bigger, and adding more food entreprenuers to make it yummier going into the BER season.
Here is a photo essay of the first Friday market day of Mezza Norte:
Mezza Norte is located in the center area (in front of the restaurants) in UP-Techno Hub Mall.
Foodies from nearby residences, offices, and BPO's are the main customers of the market.
Thank you for the strong support for Mezza Norte!
We love the Foodies of the North! Thank you for celebrating your get together, special occassion, and weekend gimmick with us :)
TUGUEGARAO'S BEST! (A MEZZA NORTE ORIGINAL)
For sometime now, I've been searching for the best Pansit Batil-Patong of Tuguegarao experience here in Manila. The search is now over!
You got to try Tuguegarao's Best Pansit Batil-Patong only in Mezza Norte!
The home made pansit is prepared carefully in front of you and the ingredients are cooked with bulalo broth.
Order the all-meat for the best pancit experience.
Your Mezza Norte experience is not complete without tasting the authentic pancit from Tuguegarao!
Here's a recommended ritual on how to eat it.
I just love the overall taste of the pancit with the sauce and a sip of the batil :) Try this!
DADI'S BERD :) (A MEZZA NORTE ORIGINAL)
Another unique addition to the Mercato Centrale food vendor family is a yummy chicken barbecue version from Dadi's Berd :)
I love the sweet sauce and ham-like taste of Dadi's Berd Charcoal Grilled Chicken. You got to try this too!

Thank you for bringing a taste of Mercato to the North! Have to ask, what's the usual time frame that's not too crowded?
Posted by: Gigi | Wednesday, August 01, 2012 at 10:43 PM
At the start of the market or at 10-11pm. 7-9pm dinner is the peak time. 11pm onwards the BPO's would usually go down.

Which ones did you like best? (Aside from the Tuguegarao Pansit which looks worth it too)

Hi.
I went to Mezza Norte on its first Saturday despite the heavy rain. It was my first time to visit a food "bazaar". It was good. However, my biggest complaint is the shortage of seats. It was just too few. Plus, the place needs more trash cans.
More power!

Thank you for the feedback! We will expand the dining area of the market.
