Supporting Scottish suppliers, their dairy comes from Ballantines in Uddingston, eggs from Auchtralure farm in Stranraer, meats from ABR in Bearsden and seafood from The Fish People.
Brunch plates include apple ricotta pancakes, smashed avocado toast, baked eggs with shakshuka and merguez sausages.
As the day goes on, pick a few small plates to nibble on, from roast sea bass with asparagus, grilled langoustines with ‘nduja, smoky chorizo stew to charred aubergine parmigiana or courgette trifolati.
Head Chef Peter Thomson said: “I wanted to create a Mediterranean inspired menu with the best seasonal produce, offering fresh, vibrant dishes from a broad spectrum of countries.”
