If you're looking for a private dining option in Glasgow that just feels like going out for a cosy meal with friends - but better - Eleven Fifty Five on Argyle Street is a strong contender. It's got everything you need: a central location, stylish interiors, plenty of genuine, local charm, and a fantastic menu.
Eleven Fifty Five specialises in 'neighbourhood dining' with a concept and menu that uses time-honoured cooking techniques, quality Scottish produce, all while having fun with global influences. Expect friendly service, plenty of regulars and an independent spirit.
The interior design offers a similar homely feel. A period building, you'll find some gorgeous original features here like exposed brick walls and wooden floorboards. Paired with classic white tablecloths and impactful art along the walls, it offers an elegant, timeless backdrop to a private celebration.
For special events, the team can cater for up to 12 people in their private dining space on the mezzanine level, six days a week. It's a charming place to bring together family and friends, but if you need somewhere extra special for an important meeting or want to treat your team, there's also an AV screen which works for presentations.
Dining wise, the team can create something totally bespoke for you. This could be a three-course meal or family-style dining where everyone gets involved - it's exciting that you can work with the kitchen on something that suits you and your guests. But, if you're looking for an idea of what to expect, check out the usual a la carte menu. At the time of writing, that looks like starters such as white pudding with cabinet mushrooms, egg and Lardo di Colonnato, mains such as braised lamb with crisp sweetbreads and poached spring vegetables, finished with dessert such as a 'chocolate bar' with praline, caramel, dark chocolate and a helping of Guinness ice cream.
