A kitchen built around a wood-fired oven cooks with real fire, and that is what sets Il Mercato apart in Knokke-Le Zoute. You will find the restaurant at Gemeenteplein 7, 8300 Knokke-Heist, and it is one of the places I mention when a guest asks me where to eat in town. I keep my recommendations short and honest, so I tell you only what I know and am happy to stand behind.
Real fire gives a kitchen a character of its own. If you enjoy food prepared this way, I think that is reason enough to pay Il Mercato a visit during your stay.
A few practical words. The address is easy to hand to a driver or to enter into your phone. You cannot reserve a table through this page, so please plan your visit with that in mind. I have left out opening hours and prices on purpose, because I would rather say nothing than give you a detail that may have changed. The restaurant itself is the best source for those. What I can tell you with confidence is where to find it and what makes it worth the walk or the short drive from your holiday home.
