EATS: Mercato Centrale - Your Food Haven in BGC

Image may contain: one or more people and text

Thinking for somewhere to eat tonight? This place in BGC is definitely a food haven for you.

Open only at night until 6am, Mercato Centrale has been a place for people who are up at night and looking for good food with so much variety of choices. It became a "market" of both usual and unusual eats.

I've been here not only once or twice, but many times. Other markets like this sprout and die, food parks arose for a short time but Mercato is still here. So for the Nth time, I came back and see what has changed (if there was) or see what's new.

There's a lot of food stalls to choose from. But here are our choices that one night me and my team went there:

SORBELATO

To all stalls here, this one really caught our attention. At first, we thought that this is just the ordinary "dirty ice cream" you can find on the streets. Surprisingly, it looks like the usual sorbetes but it is really a gelato. The available flavors were cheese and ube (my favorite!). It tastes a real gelato. Tastier and creamier than the normal sorbetes.

In 2017, Sorbelato was born, creating flavors of traditional Filipino sorbetes ice cream with the rich creamy taste of Italian gelato. Sorbelato Ice cream is made with the freshest and premium ingredients, with zero preservatives.

Price: P35

Mercato Centrale is now easy to find with the help of today's navigation technology. If you are going with your private vehicle, you can just use Waze or Google Maps, search "Mercato Centrale" and use it as your destination. However, I don't see a parking available for customers around the vicinity. But you can park at the nearby areas like Fort Strip.
