Few restaurant bars in Glasgow evoke such an image of style and sophistication as Rogano does - a throw back to a much cooler age - it’s the perfect surrounding in which to enjoy the opulence of Champagne and oysters.

Retaining its original 1930s Art Deco interior, along with all the associated elegance, Glasgow’s oldest surviving restaurant offers a dazzling array of different styles of oyster and the cocktails are as good as you’d expect from a venue that began its life in the heyday of mixology.

The Graduation menu, running throughout June and July offers a selection of some of the best dishes, with  a glass of Joseph Perrier Champagne on arrival.

This wonderful little nautical themed restaurant is something of a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds, with an interior that will transport you back to the halcyon days of travel by cruise ship.

The shore-front terrace which sits beside the Water of Leith, is not to be missed on a summer’s day. Their fresh Scottish seafood is delivered daily from local fishmongers and the menu reflects this with a highly recommended section for Crustacea & Molluscs featuring dishes like Loch Creran Champagne Tempura Batter Oysters and the Ship’s famous smokehouse platter. Plus a Glass of House Champagne and Oysters can be enjoyed from £16.00.
