Step inside The Restaurant and you’re walking into 50 years of dining history. Since 1971, we’ve welcomed the city’s weird, wonderful, and well-fed rogues with a simple mission: take Scotland’s best ingredients, treat them with imagination, and serve them with a side of Glaswegian mischief. Back when others played it safe, we proudly showed off our Scottish food and we’ve never stopped pushing the boundaries since.

What makes the Restaurant special
But dining here isn’t just about what the chefs magically assemble on your plate. It’s about the setting: a koi carp pond shimmering under a glass roof, murals by the legendary Alasdair Gray, botanical batiks by Kay Scott, striking works by Will Allen, a cobblestone floor underfoot, and a courtyard brimming with greenery and twinkling lights.
It’s a space that feels both timeless and alive, just like the food we serve.
Our à la carte menu is a love letter to local, seasonal, and foraged ingredients. From Barra Scallops with Shellfish Dashi to Newtonmore Red Deer with BBQ Maitake and Pickled Squash, every dish is inventive, rooted in place, and built to delight.
Vegetarians will find just as much to savour, with creations like the Roast Portobello Mushroom & Spinach Pithivier or BBQ Hispi Cabbage with Miso and Cashew.
For those who like to hand over the reins, our tasting menus - both classic and vegetarian - are the perfect way to experience the full creativity of our kitchen.
Our wine list is as carefully curated as our menu - reds, whites, rosés, and oranges from both traditional regions and boundary-pushing producers. Whether you want something bold and robust (like a 2017 Enira to pair with our Tweed Valley Sunday Roast) or bright and playful, our sommeliers have the good taste to match yours.
