“Very good-quality fish (fresh and locally caught) – often simply but always expertly cooked” has been the hallmark of Derek Marshall’s low-key city-centre basement destination since it opened in 1998. Top Tip: “exceptional fish soup!”.

“Simply cooked” but “superb” Scottish seafood has long been the hallmark of Derek Marshall’s “consistent and wonderful”, if fairly low-key basement veteran in the city-centre: one of Glasgow’s best destinations for a high quality meal, but one with a “friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices” to boot.

For 32 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).

The chef has been fronting this restaurant...
Reviewed 7 months, 27 days ago

"The chef has been fronting this restaurant’s kitchen for many years and he cooks fish very well. The lunches are tasty and generally faultless, but over the years there has been little attempt to change the basic formula and experiment with new techniques and flavours. A very reliable and reasonably well priced lunch in a pleasant setting with attentive service."
