About MERCAT A LA PLANXA

Mercat a la Planxa, a modern Catalan tapas restaurant and bar located adjacent to the historic Blackstone Hotel, was introduced in early 2008 by restaurateur Peter Karpinski of the Denver-based Sage Restaurant Group. Mercat’s menu features meats and seafood served a la planxa or on the grill, all inspired by Barcelona and Spain’s Catalan region. The bar offers Spanish-influenced cocktails, as well as an extensive collection of Spanish sherries, wines, sangrias and beer. Chef Diego Amat Lopez oversees the kitchen’s day-to-day operations.  For photos, menus and more, please visit Mercat a la Planxa at www.mercatchicago.com.
