Modern old-school – that’s MERCHANT BAR & GRILL in a nutshell. The old-school… an honest return to kitchen basics, provenance and the four seasons. The modern… a menu for today and a bar that oozes cosmopolitanism. Expect simplicity, intensity of flavour and a window on South Africa’s best producers, in the hub of the city.

    Amazingl food and service. So kind and personal. Amazing flavors. But it was very hot upstairs inside, felt like there was no AC on (it was on but really small).

    The experience was not the greatest, but of a mix up with food wasn’t ours being delivered to our table. Rather noisy and although the food was lovely we were disappointed with the menu. We came before the refurbishment and absolutely loved it so not as happy with the new restaurant
