Mediterraneo

* Handpicked for you – curated deals for 5pm customers*

Picture this as a dining concept - an Italian bento box, but much bigger. Now there’s a bright idea.

We can’t take the credit for it though, as this spark of genius comes from Mediterraneo in the Merchant City.

The restaurant’s tempting Italian ‘lunch boxes’ are essentially a selection of small plates served on a tray, making for a lovely lunchtime treat.

So why not ditch the overpriced sandwich and enjoy Mediterranean food a whole new way with today’s Big Deal, which includes a veggie option.

Italian lunch box

Available Monday to Friday until 30th August, this Big Deal is on an express Italian lunch box for one at Mediterraneo restaurant on Ingram Street.

A new concept in Italian dining, your lunch box will include one cold starter, two warm starters, a pasta and a main dish.

This would be ideal for a treat with colleagues - especially if you have a limited lunch break – as the restaurant guarantees than you will be in and out in 30 minutes.

Merchant City Italian

Mediterraneo is a spacious dining spot based in the Italian quarter of the Merchant City. An open-plan kitchen adds to the lively atmosphere.

The restaurant is a brisk five-minute walk from Queen Street station and 10 minutes from Central.

Delighted diners

‘Authentic Italian food and atmosphere. Great food, service and atmosphere. Market menu had great range of choices. Our group really enjoyed every course! Included wine was great too!’ 5/5

‘We went here for my Mum’s birthday and I couldn’t fault anything. The service, food and atmosphere were excellent. It was very busy but at no point did we feel rushed and all the staff were so friendly and helpful.’ 5/5

‘Fab service, fab food & fab ambience. Saturday girly lunch, food was great & Prosecco flowing. Colin made us so welcome, in fact all the staff are the most friendliest & so accommodating I’ve experienced in a long time in restaurants. It’s a fantastic place to eat or just have a drink in their lovely lounge with live music. One of my favourite in the city centre, just a great day out on every visit I’ve been on.’ 4.2/5

Do something different for lunch

Every so often, you have to forgo the usual supermarket sandwich and indulge in a really nice lunch. However, if you can do that without having to raid your piggy bank, then all the better.

With today’s Big Deal from Mediterraneo, you will be served a tray of five small plates, including starters, a pasta and a main, making for a proper feast.

As you can buy up to 12 of this offer, why not turn it into a special lunchtime get-together with your workmates?
