"Love the atmosphere in this French bistro! We got the green chile crepes and French dip, both tasted pretty decent although strangely were not that hot when served (maybe because it was a cold day?) Table for two was pretty small and we had some difficulty fitting our items on it, otherwise overall a good experience. Very reasonably priced menu. Will be back to try their pastries sometime!"

"I came here for brunch and it was an amazing experience. Staff was friendly, food was amazing, and the execution was on point. Would highly recommend. Reservations are a must as it filled up quick for the Sunday brunch."

"I loved the warmth of the intimate lighting and petit marble tabletops. The bistro's charm extends beyond its décor, embodied by the attentive and knowledgeable staff who guide guests through a delightful experience. My culinary exploration commenced with the soup du jour, a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. The lentil salad that followed was a delightful interplay of textures and tastes, each bite a testament to the chef's mastery of balance. For my main course, I had set my sights on the pan-roasted salmon, envisioning it nestled amidst a bed of vibrant ratatouille. However, fate had other plans, as the ratatouille was unavailable. Undeterred, I placed my trust in the chef's recommendations on the menu and ordered a side of glazed carrots, a decision I did not regret. The carrots were cooked to perfection, offering a touch of sweetness that complemented the savory salmon. The salmon itself was a masterpiece, its flavorful skin and delicate flakes infused with a smoky essence that hinted a skillful use of the grill. The accompanying sauce, a harmonious blend of butter, lemon, and herbs, elevated the dish to new heights of flavor. To quench my thirst, I indulged in the Pear Noel cocktail, a festive concoction that captured the essence of the season. The sweetness of pear brandy intertwined seamlessly with the baileys chocolate liqueur, creating a symphony of flavors that perfectly complemented the meal. Despite the absence of the ratatouille, my dining experience at Mercat Bistro would have been nothing short of exceptional but for the service. Our cocktails were so late to arrive, I had to get up and ask around why we’d had such a long wait time. They did apologize but I noticed the tables to our left and right also experienced the same delays in getting their drinks. Bar man/woman needs a Red Bull"

"Hubby and I were visiting Dallas for our anniversary and our family suggested this location for brunch. One word I can use to review my dish here was amazing! I had the salmon with the ratatouille and wow. The flavor coming out of that dish was great. Unfortunately, I don’t eat a lot so I couldn’t finish it but wow. Next time we visit Dallas I definitely want to eat it again. My hubby had the green Chile crepes and although the flavor was great, the crepe itself could have been tastier and a little thicker. He said my crepes are better ☺️. That’s not to say that they were inedible, it just meant he enjoyed the center part of the crepe instead of the whole thing. We had fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee and both were very tasty. Highly recommend this place if you want authentic French food. Almost forgot about the pastry basket. It was perfectly proofed and baked. The croissants were amazing!"

"The best french toast I have ever had, make sure you order it, Pain Perdu! Also, the ricotta & honey appetizer was delicious."
