City Merchant

Most restaurants open and shut within three years.

The City Merchant has been going strong for 27.

Find out why with today’s Big Deal on a delicious two course meal for two at this much loved Merchant City institution.

Scottish seafood

City Merchant is famous for its Scottish fish and seafood. Of course, it also has plenty of options to keep meat eaters smiling.

Available Sunday to Friday, today’s Big Deal is for two people to enjoy a starter and main course from the Big Deal Menu below.

Making the most of Scottish produce such as Shetland salmon and haggis, the Big Deal Menu offers a wide selection of tempting dishes.

From North Sea cod to prime sirloin steaks, there is plenty of variety to suit all tastes.

Happy diners

The last time we ran a Big Deal with the City Merchant restaurant, it was extremely popular. Rated a whopping 4.3/5 by 5pm bookers, this is what a couple of recent diners thought of their experiences at the City Merchant:

‘All round excellence. Loved everything about City Merchant, the service was fantastic, the food superb and value for money amazing. I can’t recommend this highly enough. I’ll definitely be back soon.’ Rating 5/5

‘Delicious food and very attentive but unobtrusive service.’ Rating 4.8/5

Today’s Big Deal would be perfect for a romantic dinner, a mighty fine lunch or a very satisfying pre-theatre meal.

Located on Candleriggs, City Merchant is incredibly handy for shows at the City Halls and Old Fruitmarket, not to mention the Tron Theatre.

If you haven’t been before then this is a fantastic chance to give the City Merchant a whirl.
