Rusk & Rusk, the Glasgow-based restaurant team behind The Butchershop Bar & Grill, Hutchesons City Grill, and The Spanish Butcher, have announced its latest venture: ‘So L.A.’

Situated in the city centre, Rusk & Rusk said the new all-day venue is “inspired by the vibrancy and diversity of the West Coast’s drinking and dining scene.” It will, the group said, be the first of its kind to land in Scotland. That much is certain.

With an “urban walkway, sweeping charcoal leather booths, and neon-rimmed light backdrops” the design sounds “so London S.E.1”.  There will also be a concrete-topped bar, antique mirrors, and an indoor garden.

And the food?

In the press release, co-owner Louise Rusk said: “We are incredibly excited to open the doors to So L.A. and cannot wait to welcome the first of our guests over the coming days. We are deeply committed to bringing the best, progressive cuisine…”

Hmm Nothing about the food? What about co-owner James?

“California has always been a real pioneer when it comes to the culinary arts — from its extraordinary use of fresh produce to its rich and moody neon-lined interiors,” he said.

“So L.A. is a new concept that channels all of this and pushes the boundaries of our current offering, and we’re incredibly excited that it’s finally here.”

No, nothing on the food from him either.

But wait. We’ve tracked down some menu details. Signature dishes include a Szechuan duck doughnut, sauteed chickpea panisse, and miso glazed beef fillet.

Elsewhere on the menu is a lobster and crayfish roll with celery mayo, a ‘smashed’ lamb burger, tuna tataki, BBQ octopus, boneless chicken wing tacos with peanut salsa and celeriac (on the left), Togareshi oysters, and something called ramen noodle mac ‘n’ cheese.

Cocktails will be centred on tequila though will be just as adventurous and globetrotting as the culinary remixes, dining continues up to 1am at the weekend, and there will, of course, be brunch.
