Merchant is an ongoing endeavor, a restaurant that is a teaching kitchen, a place for an expression of our craft, and most importantly, a convivial space to dine, drink, and toast to what is possible here in Madison, WI.

 

Here we honor classic cooking with a commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients around.  We celebrate our growing city, innovative industry, and our thriving neighborhood, with a mission to create a space for treating each other and ourselves well.

Open Tuesday - Sunday for dinner and late night. Recognized for serving up the city's top Weekend Brunch on Saturday-Sunday. Happy Hour all-week from 4-6pm.   There's always something happening at Merchant.
