Mercato Centrale is coming to Pampanga this June

Invites Pampanga and Central
Luzon-based food entrepreneurs

The Mercato Centrale Group is bringing the premier food and
lifestyle night market experience to the culinary center of the Philippines –
Angeles City, Pampanga in Ayala's Marquee Mall! 
“We’re inviting food entrepreneurs from
Manila, Pampanga and the surrounding provinces of Central Luzon to join our
newest market - Cocina Centrale! It will be a culinary showdown where the best
of Pampanga will meet the best of Manila!” said RJ Ledesma, co-founder of the
Mercato Centrale Group.
       
Mercato’s Cocina Centrale will have its
grand launch on June 29, Saturday at the Marquee Park of Ayala's Marquee Mall
in Angeles City Pampanga. It will be open every Friday and Saturday starting
July 5 from 4pm to 3am.
Interested food vendors who want to
join Cocina Centrale may call (+63917)8401152 or (+632)8120102 or emailadmin@mercatocentrale.ph. You may also visit www.facebook.com/cocinacentrale. 
“This is our first food market outside
of Metro Manila, and we feel the most ideal place where we could share the
Mercato Centrale experience is with the Pampanga foodies,” said Anton Diaz,
Co-founder of the Mercato Centrale group and the blogger behind the popular
food and travel website www.OurAwesomePlanet.com.
“The great tradition of cooking in this
part of the country means we have to ‘level up’ when it comes to the quality of
our gourmet and artisanal vendors, so that the food satisfies the discerning
taste buds of the Kapampangans,” added Diaz.
The Mercato Centrale Group is the
events team behind Metro Manila’s most happening night weekend markets that
include Midnight Mercato in Bonifacio Global City, Cucina Andare in Glorietta
Park Makati, and two in Quezon City -- Mezza Norte in Trinoma and Levante in
Eastwood.
All food vendors undergo a taste test
by the Mercato Centrale Group.  Vendors are chosen based on flavor,
innovation and uniqueness.
