Set within the stylish Malmaison Glasgow Hotel, Chez Mal Brasserie and Bar delivers the same bold and contemporary take on a classic Parisian brasserie. The venue brings a touch of drama to your dining experience, complete with moody lighting and red velvet seating that creates a sophisticated yet a welcoming atmosphere.
Chez Mal’s menus are all about modern British cuisine but with a subtle French twist. Start with the likes of creamy spiced sweetcorn soup with coriander and coconut, tuna tartare tacos topped with guacamole and lime, or sticky beef noodle salad served with vegetable slaw and spring onions. Mains, meanwhile, include options such as chicken milanese with sun blushed tomatoes and rocket, or prawn tomato linguini pasta with roasted cherry vine tomatoes.
The kitchen team brings serious energy to the dishes, firing up meats on the Konro and Josper grills, bringing an intensity and smokiness to many of its plates. Diners can expect options such as grilled pork chop with grilled cabbage and carmelised apple, or New York strip steak. For those popping in earlier in the day, be sure to check out the brunch menu including options from harissa grilled aubergine with chickpeas and whipped feta to the classic Mal burger topped with gruyere, bacon and relish. You can even add 90 minutes of free-flowing booze for the full experience.
The bar is equally impressive, offering a curated selection of cocktails, wines and craft spirits. Choose from options such as classic Negronis, or try an inventive seasonal mix, with countless options, so you can be sure that there’s something to pair with your dinner.
Malmaison Glasgow also offers the site’s legendary afternoon options, with seasonally changing menus that puts a twist on the traditional offering. The classic afternoon tea is reimagined with the Mal savouries of mini sliders or buttermilk fried chicken. Sweet treats include choc chip cookie dough sundaes and sticky toffee scones with clotted cream. Wash all this down with a variety of teas or something sparkling.
