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.

    Overpriced wine especially, but also the food. The actual menu is not like the example menu (the actual menu in fact had only one 1kg steak). Steak was too chewy. Wine mark-up was excessive. I won't go back.
