La Bonne Auberge

Literature, philosophy, love… the French excel in several areas and enjoy telling us so, but let’s admit it, lunch is among their most undeniable talents.

From the humblest bistro or brasserie to the most elevated Michelin-starred establishments, our friends across the Channel know how to serve the midday meal in style.

With that in mind, say bonjour to today’s Big Deal, a two course lunch at Glasgow’s most venerable French eaterie, La Bonne Auberge.

French landmark

La Bonne Auberge is well into its fifth decade in Glasgow city centre, serving French and Mediterranean style food, which suggests they have perfected the recipe and have the AA Rosette to prove it.

The restaurant was named Hotel Restaurant of the Year in the inaugural Prestige Awards last year, a hospitality industry accolade voted for the public, with finalists hand-picked by a panel of independent judges.

The cuisine combines French bistro classics with Mediterranean and global favourites.

Available Sundays from 12.30pm until 2pm and Monday to Friday from noon until 2pm, today’s Big Deal offers a two course lunch – main and dessert – for one.

Choose a main and a dessert from:

Mains

Freshly prepared soup du jour, made with the finest fresh market ingredients

Roasted pepperonata salad with Highland pressed rapeseed oil and crisp flatbread
