Mercato was like a life line to me during my short stay in Calgary. It was the only.. well in my opinion ...only life line to the rest of the world. Great place to stop on a saturday morning for an illy americano and a bite to eat. I highly recommend the freshly made doughnuts. The grocery side of the place has an excellent variety of spices, oils, and yes their world famous balsamic, cured in a large oak barrel tapped right there in the store for you. All you have to do is grab a bottle, fill er up, and enjoy it to the very last drop. If your a foody and appreciate a 60 dollar salt, then check them out you wont be disappointed.
