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.

    I absolutely love dining at Merchant and always look forward to returning. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is warm, friendly, and attentive. Every dish I’ve ordered has been outstanding, and the pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant more highly.

    What an incredible night out hosting clients in the private room at Merchant Bar and Grill. David in the kitchen with his team , sublime. Travis and his team led by Armand on the floor, exceptional service. Clients enjoyed every morsel as did we. See you soon !
