Located inside the Millennium Hotel, the Brasserie on George Square offers an elegant dining space: warm earth tones and muted lighting dominate the main area, while the some fine views of the Square are available from the street-side conservatory. The menu, which changes every three months or so, has a distinctly Scottish tone: three different cuts of our home-reared beef are served with grilled plum tomato and chunky hand-cut fries; a choice of four sauces is available for an extra £2. There are two veggie mains – pasta and gnocchi – and the rest are a carnivore’s delight: braised lamb shank, grilled venison sausage with a port wine reduction, breast of chicken stuffed with black pudding and breast of Gressingham duck. Salmon and seabass and fish of the day complete the selection. There are several starter options, ranging from soups and salads to scallops and chicken liver pate and the desserts are suitably mouthwatering: trio of brulée (lemon, orange, vanilla bean) and banana and toffee cheesecake among others.
- High point: Warm hues and low lighting make it an ideal romantic spot
- Low point: A little pricey
