While food fashions, and restaurants, have come and gone, Rogano has stood for the unmistakable flavour of perfectly cooked seafood for almost seventy years.
In 1935, as the great Cunard liner 'Queen Mary' took shape on the Clyde, a restaurant was refitted in the same elegant Art Deco style - and a Glasgow legend was born.
With its unique 1930s ambience, Rogano is the oldest surviving restaurant in Glasgow and for almost seventy years its chefs have dedicated themselves to the delicate art of cooking and serving the finest fish and seafood from Scottish waters.
Lunch at Rogano is an institution but for all its traditions and style, Rogano is a friendly place with a loyal clientele and a special welcome for travellers.
In the early evening the city suits disperse and the elegant and fashionable assemble in the bar. Some for an aperitif before being ushered through to the Restaurant. Others gathering for a drink and perhaps a dozen oysters at the bar. Cafe Rogano clients sipping a pre dinner drink before going downstairs for a meal as a prelude to an evening out.
Additional Comments:
While food fashions have come and gone, Rogano has always stood for the unsurpassed luxury and perfect elegance of the finest seafood faultlessly prepared and presented in classic style.
The Restaurant has a magnificent Art Deco interior, one of the finest in the United Kingdom, complimented by the crisp white linen, silver cutlery and sparkling glassware.
The smart and efficient staff are trained to the highest standards to provide attentive yet unobtrusive service in keeping with a bygone era. Renowned for its seafood, the menu at Rogano also includes a small selection of perfectly cooked Scottish meat and game. The restaurant wine list reflects this tradition, being heavily biased towards white wines from the finest French vineyards.
