THE MERCHANT STEAKHOUSE LAUNCHES IN GLASGOW
from DRAM 390 May 2023
The Merchant Steakhouse is the latest restaurant from Glasgowbased Bow Group, who also have Mezcal and Saki Maki. It opened at the end of April in Glasgow’s Merchant City.
The new restaurant, on the site of the former Canteen 58, has been refurbished by CM Design who have created an 80-cover Steakhouse with a Chef’s Table downstairs which is both stylish and elegant.
Over the past weeks, the venue has undergone a complete transformation. Upstairs the restaurant has an intimate feel and is full of character with mood lighting and comfortable, buttondown leather-backed colourful booths and plenty of Harris Tweed’ in its snug corner booths and Harris Tweed-upholstered chairs. It also boasts an eye-catching granite-topped, copper-fronted New York-style bar.
Downstairs The Merchant Steakhouse has an intimate Chef’s Table for elevated private dining experiences. Guests can enjoy theatre dining at its finest with Chef Selects signature dishes and cuts, matched with exceptional service.
Available for bookings of up to eight, Chef’s Table guests sit around a large mahogany custom-built table where they can choose cuts of meat directly from the chefs themselves. Plus, as part of the VIP experience, bartenders will make bespoke drinks from a private cocktail trolley for guests.
Ryan Bowman, Director at Bow Hospitality said, “Growing up in the meat industry, it was always a dream of mine to bring a premium steakhouse to Glasgow. The team has been working hard behind the scenes to create an unparalleled dining experience that our customers won’t forget!”
Restaurant group Kitchen 77 is planning to open its first restaurant in Glasgow at Silverburn shortly. The Ayrshire-based group which is run by Chris Steel, already operates four venues including Arthur Street Kitchen, Hollybush Inn, the Stage Door Cafe and the Drunken Coo Steakhouse all in Ayrshire. He is investing six figures in the new venture which is to be called Stailinn. It will be a family-friendly restaurant situated on the site of the former Prezzo.
