Rab Ha's is a triumph of individuality over uniformity and of soul over empty style.Comprising boutique hotel, enticing restaurant and unpretentious bar, Rab Ha's is discovered within Glasgow's revitalised Merchant City.
Its Victorian exterior and newly refurbished interior dovetail here with dramatic effect. Indeed, a considered fusion of traditional character and
contemporary influence energises the whole environment. Being privately owned enables Rab Ha's to offer service excellence with personal rapport. The standards are stringent and the smile is sincere.
Rab Ha's: the old institution with new inspiration.

Rab Ha is short for Robert Hall: a 19th century
inhabitant of the Merchant City who was no stranger to fine food. This appetite earned him the sobriquet... 'The Glasgow Glutton'.
Nursery rhymes were chanted around the city in his honour and his passion for delicious dishes lives on at 83 Hutcheson Street..
Additional Comments:
Start with contemporary new Scottish decor. Add the intimacy of candlelight and a hint of unobtrusive jazz. Mix in fabulously fresh (and often organic) local ingredients, such as haggis or venison, until the innovative menu expands nicely. Stir in a pinch of discreet personal service and subtle presentation.
So there you have it! The irresistible Rab Ha's recipe for memorable a la carte dining in a cosy cellar. Serve with anything from an entirely decadent rioja gran reserva to a smooth, inexpensive chardonnay.
