City Merchant

City Merchant retains its air of old-town style & continues to give fish & game a starring role on its menus. West Coast seafood naturally shows up strongly – langoustines, lobster grilled with garlic butter or a mixed selection poached in white wine & cream, say. Seafood platters are always popular, & dishes such as seared scallops with Cockburns black pudding & apple purée or roast chicken breast stuffed with haggis mousse & served with wholegrain mustard jus have their supporters. The kitchen also turns its hand to steaks, duck & venison (perhaps medallions accompanied by herb & black pudding dumplings, whisky & rowan jelly jus), as well as traditional Scottish specialities such as the Cullen skink or cloutie dumpling.
