It’s simple really, our calling card is sustainable Scottish seafood.Our name comes from the Gaelic word for fish.

A great restaurant opposite the Theatre Royal in Glasgow. Evidently very popular, we had a lunch reservation and people were being turned away, even the bar area was full. We arrived a little early to meet friends and sat at the bar for a pre-lunch cocktail which were great. There was a seasonal lunch menu and a la carte, and spoiled for choice on both; lots of regional dishes and locally-sourced meat, fish and produce. A good selection of wines by the glass and of course a nice whisky list. We had a great time, and would go back in a heartbeat.

Love this place. Food is consistently good - Italian with a dash of wider Mediterranean - well-chosen and fairly priced wine list, and lovely friendly service.
