What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the exceptional quality of the meats and the perfectly grilled octopus, often calling it a highlight of their visit. While the main courses and service are consistently praised, some find the desserts to be a letdown. The restaurant is noted for its accommodating nature towards gluten-free diners and its welcoming atmosphere, despite potential language barriers with staff.
"Restaurante El Mercao de Teruel offers delicious main dishes with great flavors—like the tender octopus and juicy Chuletas de Ternasco. However, the desserts were disappointing and didn’t live up to the rest of the meal. Worth visiting for the mains, but skip the sweets."
