It’s local with a menu specifically designed to be value for money.”

He continued by saying:

“Public House by Nico is the ideal location and perfect for what we want to achieve; an informal and relaxed offer, a real neighbourhood restaurant where you can drop in for a quick bite, enjoy a spot of lunch or brunch or get together with friends and family over Sunday dinner.  There are some top operators already doing great things in Glasgow and we’re looking forward to bringing something totally different to the city.”
