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.

    I asked for a gap between my starter and main course and got an affirmative reply - but unfortunately I hadn’t finished my starter when my main course arrived. Food was delicious but felt completely rushed.

    Our food and drinks were delicious, and a great size for sharing. There was plenty of food for 2 with a couple ‘bites’ and a bowl as well as a Big plate, we had extra to take home.

    The food delivery was spaced out quite well, it gave us time to try and enjoy each dish. The server was knowledgeable in how much we food would need and flavours. We had an amazing night. Thank you.
