Merchants Restaurant

Merchants Restaurant & Bar in Calgary is an absolute delight! Nestled in the vibrant Marda Loop area, this place is a must-visit for foodies and anyone looking for a great vibe. The menu is a fantastic mix of global flavors—my group loved the Carpaccio and Tempura Prawns as starters, and the Short Rib Penne was a rich, flavorful standout. The gluten-free pizza options were a hit for my friend with dietary needs, perfectly crispy and fresh. The spacious south-facing patio was perfect for soaking up the sun while sipping craft cocktails and wine on tap. Service was impeccable; our server was attentive, friendly, and even offered happy hour specials before they ended—what a thoughtful touch! The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between upscale and welcoming, making it ideal for a casual lunch or a special night out. With its hearty dishes, great drinks, and top-notch staff, Merchants earns every one of these five stars. I’ll definitely be back[

I ordered gluten-free takeout pizza today. While their food quality varies, it's never truly unpleasant. However, this time the gluten-free pizza seemed freezer burnt and inedible. Considering the $31 price, I expected a much higher quality pizza. What a waste of money.
