Mercat KL

Mercat KL

Merck KL is a Spanish gastrobar opened up by two Spaniards who wanted to bring the taste of Barcelona to the Klang Valley. Executive Chef, David Caral, has worked in some of the world´s top culinary cities such as Madrid, London, Miami, New York City with the likes of Michelin star chefs like Sergi Arola and Nobu Matsuhisa before making KL his home. David Caral was formerly at Citrus, so you know you will be getting a dining treat. According to reviews of Mercat KL, you would have to try their Arroz Negre (which some refer to as black paella), a Catalan speciality of rice cooked with squid ink, squid, shrimp & aioli. And no Spanish restaurant is complete without serving pork. Mercat KL apparently serves a very mean Pork Belly, which is slow coooked over 24 hours.

Event Space

Mercat KL is a modern blend of metal and wood and the walls are adorned with artwork of the famed architecture of Barcelona. The event space here can take up to 60 pax and since food is going to be a highlight here, this is a perfect place to have a meaningful birthday party pairing it with good friends and fine wine too. It could also be a good place for dinner parties.

Location

Mercat KL is located at the very busy Bangsar Baru area and of course it is easy to get to with many arterial roads leading to it. Parking at the Jalan Telawi area is never a breeze but the basement car park lot and the parking within Bangsar Village does help a bit. But look past the challenges, and you would be rewarded with an event with a great meal at Mercat KL.
