Martin Wishart to launch restaurant with Malmaison
Chef Martin Wishart, who has Michelin stars at two different establishments, is to open a restaurant in collaboration with Malmaison Glasgow.
He will open the 106-cover Honours, a brasserie style restaurant, within a multi-million pound refurbishment at the 72-bedroom hotel, which is located within a former Greek Orthodox Church. The Honours Glasgow will mark Wishart's fourth venture and the second bearing Honours name, joining his Edinburgh brasserie that opened in July 2011.
Wishart said: ‘I am delighted to bring the Honours Brasserie to Glasgow. This is a new and exciting venture with the Malmaison Group which I believe will further enhance Glasgow's already growing reputation for great food and hospitality.
"I have been looking for over a year for the right location for The Honours. Paul Tamburrini [head chef at The Honours] and I have always wanted to bring our concept to Glasgow, working with the Malmaison group is the perfect opportunity and we are really looking forward to opening."
Dishes on the menu will include a wide range of prime meat cuts from the grill, oysters and scallops, with highlights such as Roast Orkney scallop & Bellota ham and the Honours chateaubriand.
Gary Davis, chief executive of Malmaison, said: 'We are continually looking to innovate the guest experience at Malmaison so when we began planning the Glasgow refurbishment transforming the brasserie was high on the agenda. The Honours is a great fit and we are expecting great things from this partnership with Martin Wishart."
The Honours is set to open on 14 November 2014.
