Located in the city centre in the former Nationwide building society building at 106 Buchanan Street, the group is hoping to obtain a first floor and basement, making the space ideal for a large outlet and akin to what will be available in Edinburgh's The Ivy on the Sqaure.
Eric Garnier, General Manger of The Ivy on the Square said: “a Glasgow restaurant will open next year and it is going to be different but I think it’ll work as we will do something for the city that people will enjoy and we want to provide something that they want. “
"There are some very good restaurants in the city, and there’s a lot of people who know what they are doing – they understand the Glasgow market, which has changed a lot recently – but we plan to add to the dining scene.
“I am excited to open in Edinburgh as it will be a big lesson for us before we move on to Glasgow. Knowing that Edinburgh and Glasgow are very different, but there’s still a Scottish culture (in each) at the end of the day.”

It is thought that the group will invest around £2,000,000 to transform the site into a ground floor bar and first floor brasserie style restaurant – with a total of 180 cover inside and a further 24 covers outdoors on Royal Bank Place.
And it is thought that the brasserie will be called 'The Ivy, House 106.’
Speaking to the Glasgowist, The Ivy Collection said: "As of November 2017, The Ivy Collection has entered the planning process for a space on 106 Buchanan ST, Glasgow, G1 2NB, to open a brasserie in spring 2018.
"The restaurant will feature an all-day dining menu and will be open 7 days a week.
“The Ivy Collection is a group of restaurants, brasseries and cafés, established in London and now growing regionally across the UK, offering accessible, all-day dining for locals and visitors alike.
"Each location is carefully handpicked to value, reflect and add to the local area.”
