    Lovely 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!!!!

    Lots of great venues! Super loud on a weekend afternoon :-) but if you like that atmosphere, kudos to you! Across the street at the Mharsanta was more calming.

    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.

    Came 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.

    There are about 4-5 restaurants/bars located here so spoilt for choice. Food at Steak Cattle and Roll is well priced and pretty good. Loads of fries.

    We had a gift voucher for Metropolitan inside Merchant Square and couldn't be more impressed. The food is definitely pricey but the quality was amazing- I would really recommend the fillet steak. The entire Square has a great atmosphere and is a great venue to start a night out.

    On saturday ir sunday there is always something going on inside. Best to check the website what is on inside the square. If it is hot the place is cool enough... Loads of places to choose from for eat or a coffee. Different types of cuisine and pricing for everyone. Good relaxed atmosphere every where.

    Great atmosphere, friendly staff, clean environment, great food and great prices, the sauce for the mussels was beautiful and tasty and the roast was amazing. We will definitely come back 😊

  • 5/5 Alan P. 7 months ago on Google
    Merchant Square is great for getting away from the hustle and bustle of Glasgow city centre. A quiet haven to have drink or something to eat in bar/restaurants such as the Metropolitan. A winner for sure.

    A nice wee meal with my great niece, very tasty food, service was great

  • 5/5 Donald G. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic venue at any time, particularly on cold and wet days. There are bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. You can just sit in a warm dry place with a coffee and people watch! But best of all is the craft fair at the weekends, all the items on sale were made or produced by the stallholders.

  • 5/5 Gareth R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for beer with friends! It’s a big place, lot on offer in terms of both beers and enjoyment!!

  • 4/5 Joan 1 year ago on Google
    Went for a meal to Steak Cattle & Roll. Service was slow. Ordered steaks - veg & fries were hot but very disappointed in steaks as they were cold. Pointed this out to the Manager who offered replacement. The point being they should not have been cold in 1st place. Disappointing meal.

  • 5/5 Jovana 1 year ago on Google
    Great place with many restorants and pubs sharing the indoor garden space. At times there are market stalls inside so it can get busy. Big variety of cuisines to choose from and Oneils open till late with good music, sports screens and indoor and outdoor area.

  • 5/5 Antonio Zaccharias J. 1 year ago on Google
    It's nice. The restaurants are good. I'll be giving five stars because I don't know what more you'd expect from Merchant Square. All the restaurants seems to enjoy a nice reputation in Glasgow, I went for a burguer and it was great.

  • 4/5 Elizabel E. 3 years ago on Google
    I like the square. A few bars and food places. Some of them seem to change quite often while others have been there for a few years. Occasionally there are mini markets inside, I guess no further markets for a while. It has a nice atmosphere. The restaurants inside have terraces for sitting outside the restaurant but still under cover from the market. The ground is pebbles/cobblers. Nice little place

  • 5/5 Alexander M. 3 years ago on Google

    I truly love Merchant Square, the best place to go for a lovely, afternoon tea, meal or drink, great choice from burgers to Italian. Gorgeous setting always impresses. The Craft fair at weekends is a must too for wonderful handmade gifts.
