The Merchant's Cellar in Poole

We came again last (Thursday) as usual very nice time and service. Ordered a bottle of Falanghina as we did last time from menu at £22 which we charged last time. Looking at bill when got home you charged £27.60 last night and looking at web site it’s priced at £23? Prices should not differ. If price on menu is wrong people should be told when ordering. Maybe can clarify and get this consistent. Have E mailed but no response 🤷‍♂️

The best tapas dishes I can remember, and there's a real artist behind the cocktails. THESE PEOPLE LOVE WHAT THEY'RE DOING. Vaulted ceiling, lovely service, full of atmosphere. Highly recommended.

What can I say? Myself and my partner visited for a nice evening meal on a Friday. The vibe in this place is superb, with the music fitting the stunning decor, which really is unique. The food was brilliant. With the exception of having no "shell on prawns" (the tiger prawns were not a great replacement and quite bland, although they did advise when we ordered - I'd rather they didn't bother). We ordered an 8 piece deli board including: smoked salmon (lovely and a large portion), smoked mackrel (two fillets of!), the aforementioned prawns (shame), 5 types of cheese and some potatoes in cheese sauce. All accompanied by the largest basket of sourdough bread and sliced baguette. Most cheese / wine / charcuterie places in the area would charge about £50 for the deli board alone, with probably 4/5 pieces of bread and no supporting g salad, pickles or chutney. The price in this place is insane. With two drinks each (2xProsecco, 2xalcohol free lager), the total bill was less than £40. If I could have eaten more I would have ordered again!!! The food is superb. The service was second to none. The vibe is very cool. How this place isn't fully booked EVERY night, I genuinely don't understand. Amazing. Next time you're planning a trip to Renoufs... try this instead. Better, cheaper and cooler.

A lovely venue with great food and wine. We went with friends and had a lovely evening, and was presently suprised by the prices. Seemed very reasonable for what we had. Fantastic service too, highly reccomend.

This is a must go to wine bar - the atmosphere, the building, background music, food, wine and staff are outstanding. The seafood platter was delicious. Booked for Friday with friends.
