Mezza Norte, a food and lifestyle night market, is now open from 4:00pm to 3:00am every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It is strategically located at Trinoma’s Mindanao open parking at the corner of Mindanao Avenue and North Avenue to best serve Northern Manila’s food enthusiasts.
RJ Ledesma, co-founder of the Mercato Centrale Group, graced the opening of Mezza Norte. “We were inspired by the vibrant night food markets of our Asian neighbors like Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and Taiwan. They are not only destination markets but tourist attractions as well. Thus, we wanted to bring that exciting ‘street food’ vibe and culture to the Philippines, and give it a uniquely Pinoy spin.” said Ledesma. RJ added, "All food vendors undergo a taste test by the Mercato Centrale Group. Vendors are chosen based on flavour, innovation and uniqueness."
The Mercato Centrale Group is the events team behind Metro Manila’s most happening night weekend markets that include Midnight Mercato in Bonifacio Global City and Cucina Andare at Glorietta Park in Makati.
Mezza Norte features the well-known and popular Mercato Centrale suki vendors as well as the best in homemade dishes from the kitchens of Quezon City. Try unique, mouth-watering and affordable goodies which include grilled foods, Pinoy street foods, sandwiches, burgers, rice meals, fruit shakes, dimsums, kebabs, tacos, ice creams, cakes, pastries and a whole lot more.
