Saturdays get an Italian makeover as Cucina The Palm launches Mercato, a new monthly brunch inspired by Italy’s lively food markets. Things kick off at 12:30pm with spritzes, focaccia and olives at the bar. At 1pm the market opens and guests get a Mercato map to explore the counters. Choose your cut at La Macelleria and have it grilled over charcoal, pick fresh fish and oysters at La Pescheria, and watch chefs hand-roll pasta at the communal table. Acquasale’s wood-fired pizzas are also on offer. For dessert, there’s a giant tiramisù assembled live, Negroni gelato and moka pot coffee. A live trio plays Italian favourites and jazz, and there are activities for children too.
