Profile

Mercat means market in Catalan, the language spoken in the Spanish region that inspired this restaurant and tapas lounge in Noho. Owner Jaime Reixach is a native of Catalonia’s capital city, Barcelona, and he's enlisted two American co-chefs who’ve spent time cooking and eating there themselves (in between stints at Jean Georges, Casa Mono, and Bouley). The 90-seat space is equipped with an open kitchen, a ham-and-cheese station, and a basement tapas lounge, and the wine list is all-Spanish, with a selection of cavas, sherries, and seasonal sangrías. To supplement such familiar territory as tortilla español and patatas bravas, the menu offers regional specialties like fideua negra, or noodles cooked with cuttlefish and its own ink, and Catalan fish stew with haddock, mussels, shrimp, and lobster. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Go with friends, commandeer the bar, order a round of 1899 and some light mixed faire and certainly the lamb chops to share and just let the evening joyfully slip away.
