Miller Street location for new restaurant from team behind Ka Pao and Ox & Finch
Margo, a new restaurant from the team behind Ox and Finch and Ka Pao, will open in Glasgow, bringing a new drinking and dining spot to the city centre.
The kitchen will be headed up by Glasgow native Robin Aitken, who first joined as a chef at Ox and Finch back in 2014. After a period of travelling and working abroad, Aitken returned as part of the senior team leading Ka Pao Glasgow to its first Michelin Bib Gourmand, and Ox and Finch retaining its Bib Gourmand for the 10th year. Aitken will lead the kitchen in delivering a menu of snacks, small plates and sharing dishes.
Guests can begin their meal with snacks such as Smoked haddock churros, manchego and saffron and Margo focaccia with prawn head butter, before moving onto Beef tartare, grilled onion salad, crispy potato and crème fraîche; Beetroot, Yellison goat’s curd and cocoa tortelloni and West Coast crab tart with bitter leaf salad. To follow, a selection of larger dishes will range from Skate wing with kumquat kosho, trout roe and green peppercorns and Lamb faggot with seared liver, bonnet polenta and salsa verde, to feasting-style plates including Dry-aged sirloin on the bone with café de Paris butter and Half Creedy Carver duck with liver parfait, marmalade and toast.
For dessert, Aitken’s team will present their takes on classic puddings, including Baked rice pudding crème caramel; Lemon and sorrel posset; Blackberry and fennel meringue and Chocolate nemesismade with chocolate from local makers Bare Bones- to round off the meal.
To drink, a cocktail list has been designed to complement Aitken’s food, including signature frozen martinis, yoghurt punch and classic serves given a Margo twist through techniques such as fat-washing and carbonation. Margo will offer classic fine wines sitting alongside natural and biodynamic bottles from small, independent producers. A large by-the-glass selection will also be available, giving guests the option to pair glasses with their meal.
Located at 68 Miller Street, Margo will seat 138 diners across an expansive main dining room and upper mezzanine.
