Mercantile

October 28, 2025

Mercantile is exactly the kind of place that turns a simple dinner into a night out. We visited for date night and left already planning our next visit. The menu is on the smaller side, but every dish feels dialed-in and seasonal - true “quality over quantity.” The standout was the Sakura Pork Chop: perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and paired with thoughtful sides. Do not skip the warm bread service with cultured butter, it’s the kind of simple luxury that sets the tone for the meal. What really made the evening, though, was the team. Everyone we met was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to chat with. You can tell this is a chef-driven restaurant that cares about its ingredients and its guests. A bit of background: Mercantile lives inside the beautifully restored Union Station and blends a restaurant with a European-style market - a nod to its roots in celebrating Colorado producers and seasonal cooking. Whether you’re planning a cozy date night or grabbing a quick, high quality meal downtown, Mercantile delivers. Bonus: being in Union Station means plenty to explore before or after dinner. Highly recommend. What we loved: Sakura Pork Chop, bread service + cultured butter, attentive staff, Union Station vibe Tip: Make a reservation if you’re timing it around trains/events; ask the staff for pairing suggestions…they’re spot on.

We were here for the happy hour while in Denver one afternoon. It’s located inside Union station. We sat at the bar and got the Mercantile High-five, a couple non alcoholic beet mocktails along with the peach and arugula salad. Everything was delicious! Our server was wonderful. Their menu options for food is quite good. Will definitely stop by when in the vicinity the next time around.

Where do ya start? This place was top notch. Tried the lunch prefix menu That comes with a starter and an entree for $35... Tried the autumn brussels and the broccoli caesar. Both did not miss. Perfect amounts of acidity on the brussels! Main course did the millers chicken and the kewpie burger. The dessert... Now that alone is worth coming for by itself. Churro bread pudding. Insane meal over all, service was amazing as well.

Loved this place. Food was fantastic- loved the eggplant, the octopus was tender, the endive salad was delish. I did not love the risotto - I found the corn added too much sweetness. (I have less sweet and salt tolerance than the average person). The bread basket of Hawaiian buns was also perfect! Warm with a thin shiny coating of butter. Servers were knowledgeable, they can even compile a menu for you if you won’t want to think too much about it. Space and ambiance were peaceful, beautiful lighting abound from the tall ceilings. The furniture generally looked like natural materials. Accessible from both inside and outside union station. Michelin mention for the year!

For an unparalleled dining experience in Denver, look no further than Mercantile inside Union Station. Their service is impeccable, and the food is simply outstanding. I've never had a mushroom dish that blew my mind quite like theirs did. And the pork chop and duck? To die for! I'm already counting down the days until I can go back.
