About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Our food took an hour and a half and only came out after we asked. It came out 2 minutes after we asked and the noodles weren’t cooked

    Food was fabulous, along with the service. Plenty of gluten-free options for celiacs as well and staff were well versed on cross-contamination.

    The food was fabulous tonight. The oysters fresh and tasty. The Big Eye Tuna was delightful. The salad crisp and flavourful. Carnitas taco melted so beautifully on our palates. Thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Thank you!
