Citation

In days gone by, people would not have thanked you for sending them to the Sheriff Court in Glasgow’s Merchant City.

These days the prospects are considerably brighter, with the imposing old building now housing Citation, a stylish restaurant offering classic and contemporary cuisine.

Today’s Big Deal sentences you and a friend to a two course meal at Citation, with an additional glass of wine to be served concurrently.

Valid until the end of May 2017, this offer would make a fun gift for friends or family who appreciate creative cooking.

Lovely building

Citation Taverne and Restaurant is housed in the grand, neo-classical Victorian space of the old Sheriff’s Court building.

Matching the classy surroundings, the Citation chefs put the emphasis on Scottish and European cuisine, using the finest seasonal produce and combining classic and contemporary influences.

Available seven days a week, the Big Deal is for two people to have a two course meal at Citation, accompanied by a glass of house wine.

The menus at Citation change depending on the seasons but your menu will look a lot like this:

Starters

Soup of the day with fresh crusty bread (v)

Goat cheese with soft herbs, pine nuts, chilli, apple, heirloom tomatoes & beetroot (v)

Bradan roast smoked salmon rillette with celeriac and apple remoulade (£3.00 supplement)

Impressed diners

Citation has attracted very positive feedback on their 5pm page, including these recent reviews:

‘This is our favourite place, staff, food and atmosphere are all great.’ Rating 5/5

‘Excellent choice for a lunch with friends. Food and staff first class. Would definitely go back.’ Rating 5/5

Spring menu

Spring time can still be a bit chilly in Glasgow, so today’s Big Deal is a great way to heat up before the warmer months get here.

As we mentioned earlier, this offer from Citation would also make a thoughtful present.

A dinner date in the diary always make the temperature feel at least a couple of degrees warmer.
