Glasgow Weekend Tips
Rogano

Rogano Oyster Bar
In 1935, as the great Cunard liner 'Queen Mary' took shape on the Clyde, a restaurant was refitted in the same Art Deco style - and a Glasgow legend was born.

The oldest surviving restaurant in Glasgow, fish and exotic seafood are its speciality.

Dead romantic and the perfect antidote to a morning's shopping or the frequent wet weather which sadly washes Glasgow all too frequently. Book ahead during the weekend and simply loiter into the afternoon.
