  Great food & drink.

  Get to Citation in Glasgow’s old court building for great food & drink. It would be criminal to miss it. I’ve been a number of times to Citation, with my partner or with my Mum and girls. Decor is really welcoming, food is delicious and cocktails are great. The hardest bit is leaving the place. Not to be missed.

  Fantastic food and a great deal from 5pm

  We went for the 2 course lunch and bottle of wine. The food were fantastic and the staff too. I would definitely recommend and will be going back. This is the second time so far this year we have been and will definitely be booking again.

Stylish restaurant and bar in Merchant City

Citation Taverne & Restaurant is housed within the landmark former Sheriff Court building on Wilson Street, in the heart of Glasgow’s Merchant City. Outdoor terraces allow alfresco dining in the summer months. The restaurant’s Portico, nestled among the building’s Corinthian-style, exterior columns, is one of Glasgow’s most impressive dining locations. Citation is the ideal location for a romantic meal, a night out with friends or a long and lazy lunch. Those who want to carry on socialising long after their meal can head to the ground floor bar.

Contemporary and classic dishes

Citation’s kitchen team create seasonal menus using the best produce from Scotland, the rest of the UK and further afield. Dishes on the a la carte menu include Tweed Valley lamb cutlets; fillet of West Coast sea trout; honey and truffle-glazed belly of Ayrshire pork and the battered catch of the day with handcut chips and mushy peas.
The menu also has a grill section which features sirloin, fillet and flat iron steaks alongside Surf ‘n’ Turf plus Citation’s Chateaubriand for two. The dessert selection has options such as the lemon and raspberry posset, chocolate tart, Bailey’s parfait or you could share a cheese board accompanied by a glass of port.
