“ Love these lounges, we go to the one at Fosse Park Leicester and the one in Hinckley regularly. This one is similar and doesn't disappoint. Good atmosphere, food and drinks. Plenty of seating, much bigger than it looks when you get inside. Definitely one to include on the pub crawl! ”
“ been here quite a few times as several of my colleagues live in market harborough, we typically make this the meeting point! i really enjoy the friendly and cosy atmosphere of the lounge. the staff are always really friendly and the food is great. the churros are just the best!! ”
“ Food is full of flavour and it's so different. The sweetcorn fritters are the best. The cocktails and milkshakes are great too. The staff are friendly and helpful. A new favourite ”
“ Visited in the summer. Lovely cafe/restaurant with lots of room between tables. Food was good and service was good as well. I ordered the sausage & egg muffin with a side of chips and it was delicious. Drinks can be a hint expensive but that seems to be par the course nowadays. Also dog friendly! ”
“ Great staff! Great food, early morning but atmosphere good. Enjoyed layout of restaurant and made to feel welcome. Eat here, you won't be disappointed, thank me later. ”
“ This is one of the best places I have been for brunch in a long time. We were so impressed with the child friendly nature of this restaurant during the day. They had lots to keep the kids occupied. The food was excellent too and if you’re a bruncher like me on weekends you won’t be disappointed with the brunch options. This visit definitely won’t be the last and I highly recommend mercado lounge! ”
“ A long standing returning customer. I’ve been coming here for many years and enjoy it every time. Its of the nicest of the ‘lounges’ chain I’ve been to. Staff are always welcoming even when it does get busy. From big breakfasts to cocktails at night they never seem to miss a beat. And I’d like to add I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal here. The addition of being able to take your dog is just great too! ”
“ Probably the best bar in Harborough, great cocktails, good beer selection. Also family and pet friendly, lovely bar staff and tasty food (the Superhero Burger is awesome). Can get busy at the bar at times, when it's full and lots of people are ordering food and cocktails - most people wait patiently in the queue to be served, but there's often a wise guy who tries to circumvent the entire queue and just goes and stands at the bar, this can be frustrating. Some sort of "queue here for food" sign might be helpful to get things moving for people who just want drinks. ”
