It was cold in Toronto and I'd successfully made it from the airport to my hotel (Hilton) without going outside. With only a hoodie between me and the freezing cold, I did not relish going outside. But hunger drove me from my hotel and as I walked toward the PATH, still in the heated confines of an office building attached to the Hilton, I saw the Merchant.
I figured a pub lunch wouldn't be too bad and it wasn't. Sat down at the bar and was promptly served by a friendly bartender. I just had a chicken sandwich and fries. The food was okay. Fries were a little limp and cold and the grilled chicken was a little dry but the bread that it was served on was actually delicious!
Price was reasonable and the place was very clean. Definitely a three star experience.
