About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
EXCITING. FLAVOURFUL. SHARED.

The Merchant Kitchen is an idea conceptualized by travel and adventure. Honouring the traditional ingredients, flavours, and techniques of Asia and Latin America, while incorporating the freshest local ingredients possible is our mantra.

Exploring cities and towns along the equator, tasting their food carts, and visiting the local markets have allowed us to bring that to the table an experience that enables guests to escape routine and enjoy flavours with friends and family.

    The service was outstanding, staff was extremely friendly. The food came out quick and everything tasted amazing. Portion sizes for the price were a bit small in my opinion but other then that everything was fantastic

    The place was great and the service was good, we sent our selection for 12 people as we didn't want to be late for our conference; and sure enough when we got there a few minutes after the food came and they even had to call the name of the person who ordered it (so that was great); although we had 2 of the guests getting their food a bit later than usual :-( another thing is that the menu selection was not much; hope there would be more especially since we where hosting a very important client and we would have wanted them to have more choices. Although, overall it was a great experience.

    We always enjoy Merchant Kitchen when we choose it for Jets pregaming; food is always good, service and bevies the same. However, on this night they absolutely knocked it out of the park! Service was spectacular, food and bevies as close to perfection as is possible!
