Harden's survey result
Summary
“The Gannet is towards the top end of Glasgow’s gastronomy scene” – a chilled Scotch fine dining venture, in Finnieston, whose “superb food, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian” has won it a firm reputation over the past decade – although “it comes at a price of course” (tasting menu £90 per person, and multi-course lunch nudging £40 per person).
Summary
“Good cooking and fair pricing… one of Glasgow's best!” – this casual Finnieston haunt celebrates its tenth year of operation in 2023. Chef Peter Mckenna aims to deliver a ‘modern Scottish fine dining experience’ via a multi-course tasting menu (or, if you go for lunch, there are two-course and three-course options). “Staff are pleasant too… always love stopping here”.
Summary
Despite a strong performance in former diners’ polls, this well-known, brick-walled Finneston institution inspired too little feedback in our current annual survey for our proper rating process. We’ve maintained its listing and rating, though, on the basis of the historically strong performance of Kevin Dow’s interesting cooking, and our bet that nothing in the interim will have dented its friendly and casual approach.
Summary
Peter McKenna & Ivan Stein’s stripped-back Finnieston venture has made waves since opening six years back; “the cooking (modern British) is perhaps more serious here than the bare-brick walls décor suggests” (being “full of interesting small dishes, but not too ‘out there’”). In fact, more than one reporter notes “it deserves a Michelin star” such is the quality of the food but – perhaps as prices are not supercheap – stops short of awarding it full marks for value.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
