Merchants Restaurant, Dining Room

We came here by accident after our original booking somewhere else was cancelled without notice. I am so glad we found Merchants. They fitted us in even without a booking. The staff were incredible and every course just got better. The food was exceptional and very reasonably priced considering the quality. We had the burns weekend menu and it was delicious. It’s a hidden gem in Edinburgh and I will 100% be back!

Had a really lovely meal here on the 21st December. They fitted us in last minute and were super accommodating which was really helpful as we’d had a stressful journey. We had the festive three course menu which was absolutely delicious. Haggis starter was exceptional. I had the duck and my partner had the salmon for mains and the portion sizes were really substantial. We both had the chocolate for dessert and it was simply out of this world. I would highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back.

Hadn't been for a very long time, but it was great to be back in and nothing disappointed. We had booked for 6:30 and we're the first table to be filled, so it was initially quiet but other diners soon arrived and the atmosphere was pleasing enough but not busy. Food was great. Haggis spring rolls and chicken liver parfait for starters and moist chicken roulade and perfectly cooked venison for mains. All yummy. We shared the apple crumble for pudding which was more than enough. Add in a bottle of very reasonably priced montepulciano and a couple of coffees to complete a great meal.
