Bow Hospitality is launching a new ‘modern Scottish steakhouse’ which is set to open in Glasgow’s Merchant City next month. It takes over from the Canteen 58 unit on Ingram Street and it marks a new venture from the company which also owns 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 and executive chef William Lee, formerly of Michelin-starred and Rosette venues, promises that the craft menu will offer Scottish flair and a modern perspective on dining, with gourmet steaks, seasonal flavours and memorable dining experiences.
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 from Millers of Speyside. Serving only eight premium cuts of meat with 28 and 45 day dry-aged Miller Aberdeen Angus.
Internally, the venue is undergoing a complete revamp with Mark Hogarth, Creative Director at Harris Tweed involved in the design of Harris Tweed soft furnishings.
Ryan Bowman, Director at Bow Hospitality spoke of the new opening, “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!”
