Browns brasserie and bar is a restaurant that you'll find all over the UK, the Glasgow branch is housed in an iconic 130 year old former General Post Office on the beautiful George Square. If you're looking for somewhere to enjoy a relaxed yet fine meal, in an unpretentious, stylish setting, you've come to the right place. The menu has delicious dishes to enjoy throughout the day, including specials that reflect the season, a quintessential afternoon tea and freshly caught lobster.
As you peruse the main menu, enjoy some fine wine and small plates for the table of mixed nuts, nocellara olives and padron peppers. Starters include the pan fried scallops with roast butternut and pancetta, along with crispy goats cheese with a roast beetroot and pear salad, topped with hedgerow chutney. If you are a seafood fan, try the platter with scallops and king prawns in a garlic and parsley butter with crispy salt and pepper squid, padron peppers and red pepper aioli. The sticky BBQ chicken skewers with miso, kale and coconut are always a big hit, as is the asparagus and exotic mushroom vol-au-vent with roast roscoff onions, broad bean puree and Chardonnay vinaigrette.
There are plenty of lovely mains to choose from, which are split into sections of meat, steaks, fish and seafood, along with veggie and vegan options. Opt for the braised blade of beef with a potato terrine, baby carrots, chard, beef dripping crumb and red wine jus for a winter warmer, or the classic chicken Caesar salad with parmesan and salted anchovies for a lighter lunch. The lobster linguine is made with a tomato and white wine veloute, confit tomato, basil, lemon gremolata and fresh chives, and we wouldn't be able to say no to the pumpkin ravioli with artichoke, roasted fennel, rainbow chard, dolcelatte and a cacio e pepe sauce.
