Gourmet Traveller 2013 Australian Restaurant Guide "Merchant's location is a savvy choice, tapping into an underserviced market at the Marseilles end of Collins Street in a part of town known for less wholesome pursuits. But, together with his new neighbour"

Sydney Morning Herald Food Food Guide 2012

Gourmet Traveller 2012 Australian Restaurant Guide "The latest addition to Guy Grossi's restaurant stable is a big, breezy, thoughtfully designed osteria at the foot of the Intercontinental. Tapping into his family roots. Grossi has made Merchant all about northern Italy, from the excellent, well-priced, north-east Italian-only wine list to a dining room awash with watery murals of a stylised Venice and a flexible menu that mines the Veneto region's love of polenta and seafood"
