Steak lovers, rejoice! A brand-new steakhouse, The Merchant Steakhouse, is coming to Glasgow next month, taking over the former Canteen 58 on Ingram Street. The spot is dedicated to modern Scottish cuisine, serving top-quality dry-aged Scotch beef, premium wines and signature cocktails giving a nod to modern Scotland.
The split-level venue serves locally sourced and freshly prepared dishes, with a focus on its Scottish roots. The Merchant Steakhouse is also working with ABR Fine Foods to source the best beef from Millers of Speyside, straight from the Highlands. Serving only eight premium cuts of meat with 28 and 45 day dry-aged Miller Aberdeen Angus, the restaurant is set to become a top destination for meat lovers.
The kitchen will be reigned by executive Chef William Lee, having worked in Michelin-starred and Rosette venues. The craft menu has been designed to reflect Scottish flair and a modern perspective on dining, with gourmet steaks, seasonal flavours and memorable dining experiences.
The Merchant Steakhouse is bringing a truly Scottish interior, with features from Mark Hogarth, Creative Director at Harris Tweed throughout, so it looks like the place went through a complete transformation.
The new spot comes from Bow Hospitality, the team behind popular venues Mezcal and Saki Maki. The Merchant Steakhouse is also expected to bring 30 full-time and part-time jobs to the area, with a capacity of 80 positions.
Ryan Bowman, Director at Bow Hospitality said: “We’re excited to finally announce the launch of The Merchant Steakhouse! Our team have been working hard behind the scenes to curate a uniquely Scottish experience with a modern slant – from the very best meat in the country to Harris Tweed decor throughout.”
“Our vision for the restaurant is to become one of the country’s premium steakhouses and ensure every guest through the door has an unforgettable experience and top quality steak. Stay tuned for sneak peeks of our menu – we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been cooking up at The Merchant Steakhouse!”
