About The Merchants 大酉
The Merchants is a joint venture by two internationally experienced visionaries. In 2022, the team opened this flagship restaurant in the former French Concession area, which is one of the most fashionable neighbourhoods in Shanghai. It is located in a historic three-story building, which was once a home of Shanghai Film Group. The restaurant consists of three parts: a main dining room with an open kitchen, a cafe serving breakfast and desserts and an upstairs membership area. The menu is designed by chef-patron Paulo de Souza, a strong believer in open-fire cooking. The food always stays true to its original flavours and is wine-friendly. Isabella Ko is the mastermind behind the wine selection of The Merchants. With the advantage of owning a wine import company, Isabella is able to list wines that are rarely found elsewhere on the market and keeps those wines reasonably priced. The wine selection has a good mixture of difficult-to-find fine wines and cult natural wines. Noteworthily, due to the restaurant's special connection with the world of cinema, there is a selection of film-related wines on the list that pay tribute to the film industry.
