AN acclaimed Glasgow restaurant is to open a new venue in the city centre.
Maison by Glaschu is set to open later this month in Princes Square on Buchanan Street and is the sister venue to renowned restaurant Glaschu located in the city’s Royal Exchange Square.
The new site will be a restaurant and champagne bar and promises an “affordable yet luxurious dining experience” to the people of Glasgow.

The restaurant will offer a 120-cover bar area where guests can enjoy drinks and snacks seven days a week as well as an 85-cover restaurant, which will feature its own 45-cover terrace.
A private dining space for up to 25 people will also be available to book for private events.
The kitchen will be headed up by director of food John Molloy, who has worked with the group for five years.
Some standout dishes set to feature include fresh Scottish lobster, French onion soup, beef bourguignon and confit duck leg lasagne.
Molloy said: “Maison will be a game changer in the city centre – a brasserie perfectly tailored to the all-day dining needs of Glasgow.
“The food has a classic French brasserie feel to it, while taking inspiration from our sister restaurant Glaschu, and really utilising the outstanding Scottish produce we have available on our doorstep.
“I can’t wait to open our doors and for people to see what we’ve been working on.”
Open from 10am daily, Maison will also offer freshly baked pastries and premium Italian coffee as well as serving up a Sunday lunch.
General manager Clare Johnstone added: “I cannot wait to share Maison by Glaschu with the people of Glasgow.
“We promise a culinary experience that is both timeless and innovative. Maison believes in delivering more than just great service – we aim to create memorable experiences for all.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
