What OpenTable Diner likes about Merchants:
Booked late on a festival weekend .Arrived not knowing what to expect other than what was on the website forgive me for always being sceptical!!! Food was outstanding… boom !. Well presented, taste was amazing, and the all round experience I am delighted to promote to others.. Well done All involved in putting the place together View all feedback.

What Lewis Butler doesn't like about Merchants:
what happened? I was eating here many years ago. it was a shade of a weed that was stuffed among the arches and served excellent auld-allianz food. it has made a special effort to visit a recent trip to edinburgh. it was terrible. eating was almost floating and gray. it seems to be a mass tourist/customer clientele. ambiance is gone. the waiting staff was boring and uninterested. How bad. it will not come back. View all feedback.

Really nice food and great service in a lovely restaurant. Not on the main drag: a hidden gem that's well worth the visit. Recommend.

"That really enjoyed it today. the first time, but the cakes were beautiful. the coffee could have been a bit hotter, but very good the same."
