Red Onion

Over the years, the Red Onion has won a loyal following for its blend of satisfying, good-value food & all-day opening. Perhaps that’s no surprise as the man behind it is Glasgow chef John Quigley, who has the knack of conjuring up bold flavours in a range of modern European & more exotic-sounding dishes. Chicken liver parfait with oatcakes & red onion marmalade rubs shoulders with duck & ginger spring rolls with sweet chilli vinegar, while salmon fishcakes with spinach & parsley sauce share the billing with the likes of Moroccan spiced rump of lamb with hoummos, harissa, smoked aubergine & couscous. You can also get sandwiches & salads, as well as some child-friendly offerings. Desserts tend to be less than adventurous, but are well executed & big on comfort – warm chocolate & Seville orange tart with rum & raisin ice cream & orange syrup, for example.
