Time Out "A multi-venue mini-empire in the Merchant City, where you can feed on everything from oysters to pizzas." Full review
Fodor's "Occupying what was once the tea market, this trendy café draws the style-conscious crowd and can justly claim to have launched the dining renaissance of the Merchant City." Full review

The menu is varied and constantly changing, but don't miss the monkfish and prawn tagine, the venison with gratin dauphinoise, or resident dishes like smoked haddie and Stornaway black pudding.

Frommer's "This landmark and celebrity favorite (the oldest continually operating restaurant in the city) has a well-preserved Art Deco interior patterned after the Queen Mary ocean liner." Full review
Michelin Guide "Charming art deco interior with marquetry reputedly from the craftsmen who fitted the Queen Mary. Formal service and a largely seafood-based menu. Keenly priced dishes in the basement café."
Time Out "The venue is split into oyster bar, chic café space and more formal restaurant area – all with a distinctive between-the-wars look." Full review
Fodor's "Modeled after the Queen Mary, this restaurant's spacious art deco interior—maple paneling, chrome trim, and dramatic ocean murals—is enough to recommend it." Full review
Fodor's "Filled with photos of Hollywood greats, the brasserie at Glasgow institution Rogano's is more intimate, more relaxed, and a little more crowded than the famous restaurant upstairs." Full review
Fodor's "Beautiful art deco decor...the main restaurant is a formal affair, but the downstairs Café Rogano is more intimate and relaxed, serving oysters and a signature fish soup among many other options." Full review
