Arcoona at The Beardmore Hotel

Arcoona - a part of the well known hotel, The Beardmore, nestling on the banks of the Clyde in Glasgow - is a fine dining restaurant. While the hotel is associated with modern luxuries and leisure facilities, Arcoona is appreciated for its lovely ambience and great food and it is named after a passenger ship that William Beardmore and company built in 1924.

Awarded one AA Rosette, the restaurant specialises in international cuisine, yet has strong French and Mediterranean overtones, and the kitchen turns out contemporary and classic dishes alike. There are several options to start your meal with, such as classic lobster bisque, crab dumplings or house smoked loin of venison carpaccio, fennel salad, balsamic dressing - all great choices.

You can opt for mains like saddle of local lamb, puy lentil and broad bean casserole, creamed potatoes, or wild fillet of west coast halibut, herb crust, new potatoes, wild mushroom and spinach fricassée. There is an extensive choice of wines available by the glass or the bottle to add charm to the meal, and several attractive options such as pannacotta with a hint of Baileys, sweet espresso cream or warm brie parcel, apple and walnut salad, balsamic syrup, amongst others, for dessert.

While Arcoona is primarily designed to serve guests from the hotel, its chic and spacious dining room also attracts many local diners.
