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.

    We loved our meal and evening. Especially enjoyed the carbonara starter, the prime rib on the bone main and the wine recommended by our waitress!

    Nice setting, with this lid larder in the middle of the space, Good food with nice combination of interesting ingredients. The crudo and the beetroot tart tatin were delicious. Attentive service.

    Our server/waitress made the experience, and even gave us recommendations for our upcoming trip to her hometown of Franschoek. The service was impeccable, the food lovely and the wine superb! Thank you
