The Merchant Of Clyde

I've had lunch here twice and absolutely love it. Superb food, great prices, lovely relaxed atmosphere. Eat outside if the weather is okay. Cannot recommend highly enough!

My friend and I got the pasta salad in the small serving size and it was sufficient as a meal for me at least! Tasted great too. Service was great and quick , tables are arranged such that it doesn’t feel crowded even if it’s full. Toilet was clean. Just a couple of birds that kept flying in and getting trapped so they will be zooming around near the tables just by the door leading to the alfresco seating area.

If it wasn 't for this gem in central otago our second trip to the region in as many months would have been our last. Even in these times when it is hard to find even enough staff just to operate the Merchant of Clyde has an excellent crew that are friendly, inviting and informative. No one minds waiting a little when they 're told it 'may ' take a while for your order and let me tell you the wait wasn 't really long. Queenstown operations should look to this well run ship to get at the very least some idea of what hospitality means. Now for the food. So, we stopped here on the Saturday on the way to Queenstown and decided to come back on the Sunday because the service, the food and the coffee was just that great. To the team and management of Merchant of Clyde be very proud of what you are doing and please keep doing it for the sake of the reputation of hospitality in New Zealand. Personal note, Cheese rolls are to die for, worth every cent, so are the scones. Perfect. Ps three cheese roll in the photo it 's only the last little bit... Sorry I couldn 't wait!

Had a pretty good Americano here this morning and came back in the afternoon for a the lemon Muffin with poppy seeds which was super yummy too. Great service as well!
