Harden's says
Originally due to open in February 2021, on the former site of Sisters restaurant, chef Graeme Cheevers (previously head chef at Isle of Eriska) has opened his first solo restaurant, hoping to impress the tyre men.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Top cooking with no stuffiness” helps win applause for Graeme Cheevers’s “exceptional” venue – a comfortably furnished, somewhat old-school enterprise “located in hip Finnieston” and with “tables set nicely apart so neighbours’ conversations don’t intrude”. There is a seven-course tasting menu for £135 per person, but there’s also a (slightly) cheaper à la carte for £100 per person and all agree that the “set lunch is great value” (at £55 per person – “Michelin quality at a price that’s half that of its nearest competitor”). “You can always walk it off in the park afterwards if needed!”
Summary
“The revival of Glasgow‘s hip West End continues apace” and “Unalome stands out for the excellence of its cooking and the refinement of its service”, according to all reports on Graeme Cheevers’s highly accomplished and accoladed three-year-old. “Tables are set apart so that conversations can be had without neighbours overhearing” and a fair proportion of reports say it provided the “gastronomic highlight of the year”, but one that’s “a joy and unpretentious despite the level of cooking”. The main event is a seven-course tasting menu for £135 per person. Top Menu Tip – “Scallops are exceptional as is the duck. And how they manage to source Gariguette strawberries from Midi-Pyrenees is a tribute to their eye for detail”.
Summary
This two-year-old Finnieston venture is the debut as patron from Graeme Cheevers, winning instant acclaim for his “excellent cooking” – he’s a “fantastic chef, I’ve followed him from his days at Martin Wishart’s Cameron House” (he also ran the kitchen at the Isle of Eriska Hotel). “The fish courses are particularly good” and there’s a “generous and well chosen accompanying wine flight”.
Summary
“A really wonderful dining experience” – ex-Isle of Eriska chef Graeme Cheevers’s ambitious Finnieston yearling was “well deserving of its Michelin star” within eight months of opening, for its “immaculate dishes, beautifully served”, “exceptional service” and “great and highly accessible wine list”: “Glasgow needed a lunch like this”. The name? – apparently it’s a Buddhist symbol representing the path to enlightenment.
