Restaurant Rococo

Rococo is a style of art that emerged in France in the eighteenth century and opinion is divided among critics as to its historical significance in the development of European art. Its namesake today is a restaurant in Glasgow, having recently relocated to West Regent Street, serving Scottish food in a contemporary, elegant and very chic setting.

The ambience is warm, inviting and luxurious and yet the food here is not overpowered by the interiors. Sample the starters of roast breast of woodpigeon, candied pears, and bitter chocolate juices to appreciate the international influences on traditional cooking. Move on to the fillet of sea bass with saffron and scallion crushed potatoes, wilted leaves, red pimento essence and finally end with the warm tart of Valrhona chocolate, almond biscuit, prune and armagnac ice cream. The wine list is impressive with nearly four hundred bins, featuring Burgundy and Bordeaux predominantly, although there are some from the New World too.
