The Red Leaf Restaurant is part of Glasgow’s Alea Casino on Springfield Quay but you don’t need to have had a good run on the tables to enjoy a winning meal here.
Thanks to its chandeliers, spacious booths and gilt-edged mirrors, the Red Leaf restaurant looks very opulent but, despite its handsome interior, most diners will be gazing out at the magnificent views across the Clyde. The city sweep is impressive on a summer’s evening but the vista really comes into its own when night falls and the skyline lights up.
From the moment you arrive in the Red Leaf you know you are somewhere special. Relax with a pre-dinner cocktail mixed by one of our highly trained mixologists then soak up the atmosphere in the Red Leaf bar before you are taken to your table. Head Chef Jamie Walker tries to source locally all of the produce he uses, from the 28 day matured beef from Dumfriesshire to the fish and shellfish, which are always market fresh and, where possible, from the waters of the West Coast.
Typical starters include the pan-seared sea scallops with sweet confit cherry tomatoes, micro leaves and a citrus vinaigrette or the haggis tortellini with spiced turnip salsa and a shallot and basil butter sauce. The sumptuous array of mains includes the seared fillet of sea bream with spring onion-crushed potatoes, braised baby fennel and sauce vierge; a roast loin of Rannoch Moor venison with braised root vegetables, creamed celeriac and thyme jus; or the now renowned 8oz fillet steak which comes with hand cut chips, onion rings, field mushrooms and Béarnaise sauce. Leave room for dessert as the Red Leaf Taster dessert, a miniature selection from the dessert menu, is a must for all the dessert lovers out there! However the cards may fall at Glasgow’s Alea Casino, you can be sure that you will come out on top in the restaurant.
