Reviews
Merchant Square is really an interesting place to dine in. There are many restaurants under one roof. We visited two to three different restaurants over 2 days as some of them were not opened on certain days due to COVID restrictions. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the variety of food served at these restaurants. One of it was at Franell where we had Asian food for lunch. You should try too.
Read on Google MapsLovely place with many restaurants, cafe and bars. Good bus and train connectivity as central and queen street is 5 mins walk away and frequent bus services to east and west end
Read on Google MapsLovely but i feel underused refurbed part of glagow merchant city's old fruitmarket. Many restaurants have come and gone since its inception. Always nicely decorated at christmas Restaurants and pubs are expensive. 🥺
Read on Google MapsCame here over the Christmas period when the market was on and as the city is so big there were two different ones but the music was nice and loud and they had themselves a great atmosphere! As this was Glasgow of course it was raining but this didn’t stop us! We got to see all the Christmas lights and the market and it was just a whole other experience and it was something I would always do whenever we go up to Glasgow.
Read on Google MapsLovely night out in the Merchant city. Sets a nice atmosphere, clean and cosy. We dined in Steak, Cattle and Roll which is a fantastic restaurant.the food is first class, filling, delicious and the service is just as great. They bend over backwards to make sure we had an enjoyable night , and enjoyed ourselves. The are very knowledgeable in the enjoyable evening . We return all the time and will continue too in the future. Cannot recommend any higher. This little treasure within the merchant city is an absolute MUST VISIT!!!!
