Hakuba, Nagano, Japan｜Bar mercato バールメルカート

Cosy little place if you want some Italian-ish food. Very tasty, we had the lasagna and the venison pasta. Would recommend the house red as well.

We had a wonderful and delicious dinner here. It’s not a big restaurant but All dishes surprises us with excellent taste. The seasoning for each dish was perfect to bring out the taste of the meat & fish. The sea bass was baked with rosemary just cut right before it’s cooked, juicy & tender. The duck meat was also tasty, with chef homegrown mushroom salt . The pasta and pork was also delicious. I forgot to take photos, and hope I’ll make it up on my next visit .

A MUST when in Hakuba 😋 Haven't had such amazing French/Italian food in Japan in a while. Tried the lasagna and mushroom pasta, and it was mind-blowingly good!! The lasagna had a really good bechamel sauce and the dish was really balanced. The mushrooms were freshly picked in Hakuba by the chef himself and the dish wasso delicious and creamy! Got some red wine as well which was delicious as well!! Loved the atmosphere with the jazzy music, it felt so nice and cozy! We went in autumn, so the restaurant was only run by the chef and one staff so make sure you're not in a rush when coming for dinner. Can't wait to go back again! また来ま〜す!
