Merchant Bar & Grill Special: R595 for 4 Courses

Feted chef Liam Tomlin’s heritage building on Bree Street is home to two equally fabulous restaurants. Outside, the familiar charcoal-and-red signage of the original Chefs Warehouse & Canteen reflects a welcome return to the roots of his concept, and upstairs, Merchant Bar & Grill, (chef David Schneider’s passion project), focusses on purely local ingredients, and delicious dishes that use the whole animal, the whole vegetable…plus old-school pickling and preserving techniques that just make sense.
For winter the two establishments are mixing it up for a special menu that highlights a selection of both their hero dishes. Kick off with David’s home-cured charcuterie served with piccalilli, sourdough and bagels. Then, shared plates from Chefs Warehouse that include pork dumplings, and tiradito. Merchant’s mains feature their divine carbonara with guanciale; linefish with fennel and horseradish velouté; and a beef flat-iron steak with café de Paris butter and roast potatoes. And to finish, of course, it’s Liam’s iconic lemon tart and a local corn dessert.
