House for an Art Lover

Ever wondered how Glasgow got its reputation as a style city?

Step forward Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the man who put Glasgow style on the global map.

Get to grips with the artist’s genius thanks to today’s Big Deal on lunch for two at the Art Lover’s Café in House for an Art Lover.

Located in tranquil Bellahouston Park, House for an Art Lover is a stylish arts centre and welcoming cafe as well as being a fine example of Mackintosh’s ground-breaking architecture.

The interior of the café is very airy and elegant.

Obviously, we can’t make any promises about the weather over the next few months. However, if a little spring sunshine does put in an appearance then lunch on the terrace is always a pleasure.

Lunch for two

Available noon to 3.30pm, Monday to Friday, this Big Deal is for two people to enjoy the soup of the day with bread plus a dish from the light bites section of the menu.

Local produce

The chefs at the cafe use ingredients from local suppliers to create innovative and mouth-watering dishes.

The exact selection available from day to day may vary. However, this gives a great idea of the choices on offer:

Hot smoked salmon, kohlrabi remoulade and rye bread

Classic chicken and bacon salad with crisp croutons and aged Parmesan

Eggs Stornoway – black pudding with poached eggs, hollandaise sauce on English muffin

Chickpea and chilli burger and beetroot chutney

Waldorf salad with blue cheese, pear, walnut and chicory

Comté cheese and onion quiche
