Embargo

If we could have our way, then every single day would be small plate dining day.

Unfortunately, tucking into tempting small plate selections aren’t a daily treat for most of us.

But this doesn’t mean that you can’t aim to enjoy it as much as possible.

Make a start by grabbing this Big Deal from Embargo for a small plate meal, with the option of adding cocktails, wine or beer.

Pacific-style cuisine in the West End

Embargo is a sleek eating and drinking spot on Byres Road. Promising the vibrant flavours of Australasia and East Asia, you can sample a range of creative small plates, bar bites and brunches.

This mouthwatering Big Deal for two people has two options, with a choice of a small plate selection between two plus optional drinks.

It is valid until the end of July and you can buy multiples, with up to eight people per table.

Seriously, what better way to celebrate the brighter weather than by embracing the sunny flavours of the Pacific?

Sample creative small plates

Embargo serves up an imaginative selection of Asian and Pacific-influenced small plates. Menus can change, but expect choices like salt & chilli baby squid with mango & chilli dip or beetroot curry with pea shoots.

Option one of this Big Deal is for two people to share three small plates and a side.

Option two is for all of the above plus an alcoholic drink each. Choose between an Asahi beer; red, white or rosé wine, or one of the following fab cocktails: Mango & Coriander Smash, Espresso Martini, Thai Me Down, Apothecary, Parma Aviation and Classic Mojito.

The deal is available Sunday to Thursday from noon to 9.45pm, and Friday from noon to 6.30pm.

Happy diners

Although it has only opened within the last year, Embargo has already been picking up rave reviews on its Facebook page:

‘A lovely addition to the West End. We had such a great time here! The food was great and the cocktails were even better. We got our bill and then stayed for more cocktails… they’re that good! Staff are really friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back in the near future.’

‘Staff friendly, chatty but not intrusive, will be back. Stylish interior.’

‘The place is amazing. Went for Sunday brunch with friends and had great food and service for good value! Will definitely go back!’

Cheeky wee treat

If you fancy a delectable small plate selection, this Big Deal from Embargo is for you.

Depending on the option you pick, you could make it a fizzy weekend treat, pre-theatre dinner before heading to Cottiers or even a boozy lunch.

Plus as you can buy multiples, you might as well round up a few friends while you’re at it.
