In the heart of Merchant City, Ralph & Finns offers a refined setting for private dining in Glasgow, combining modern flair with historic charm. Family-run and renowned for its warm hospitality, the venue is led by head chef Kevin O’Neill, who brings together Scotland’s best produce with bold international flavours to curate menus that are vibrant and contemporary.
The standout space is The Boardroom, which once served as the boardroom of the Bank of England. Seating up to 32 guests, it retains a sense of grandeur while embracing Ralph & Finns’ eclectic design. Banquet-style tables make it ideal for celebratory meals, while padded textured walls, tropical wallpaper and a mix of plush velvet chairs add character and colour. The space can be booked exclusively or partially, catering flexibly to groups of 24 to 32 people.
For smaller occasions, The Mezzanine is a raised semi-private area overlooking the main dining room. Seating up to 16, it offers a lively yet intimate atmosphere, giving guests the buzz of the restaurant alongside the privacy of their own space.
Private diners can expect the same inventive food that defines Ralph & Finns’ à la carte and market menus. Highlights include starters such as beef tartare with pickled shallots or a prawn roll with gem lettuce, guacamole, chilli and grapefruit. Mains might feature east coast hake with fregola, garlic prawns and lobster bisque, half-roast chicken with house salad, or sea bream with confit tomatoes, salsa verde and smashed potato. To finish, desserts like dark chocolate mousse or affogato provide indulgent endings.
With its stylish interiors, versatile private dining spaces and polished service, Ralph & Finns is a standout choice for birthdays, anniversaries, corporate dinners or any special gathering in Glasgow.
