Modern Glasgow steakhouse to take over vacant Canteen 58 unit in Merchant City

The Merchant Steakhouse is set to open its doors next month right in the heart of Glasgow’s vibrant Merchant City.

The Scottish inspired restaurant will take over the former Canteen 58 unit on Ingram Street.

Dedicated to modern Scottish influences, the plush new restaurant is set to serve top quality, dry-aged Scotch beef, premium wines and signature cocktails all with a nod to modern Scotland.

A new venture from Bow Hospitality, the team behind popular venues Mezcal and Saki Maki, The Merchant Steakhouse will bring 30 full time and part time jobs to the area, with a capacity of 80 covers.

The split-level venue will serve locally sourced and freshly prepared dishes, with a focus on Scottish provenance and presentation, working with ABR Fine Foods to source top quality beef direct from the Highlands.

Serving only eight premium cuts of meat with 28 and 45 day dry-aged Miller Aberdeen Angus, the Merchant Steakhouse will be a must try for any steak fan.

Under the expert helm of executive chef William Lee, formerly of Michelin-starred and Rosette venues, the craft menu will offer Scottish flair and a modern perspective on dining, with gourmet steaks, seasonal flavours and memorable dining experiences.
