Restaurant of the week
Miller & Carter, Glasgow
Location
Located right in the heart of the city centre at 47 St Vincent St, within easy reach of bus, train and underground routes.
First Impressions
Situated in an old bank, it feels grand and decadent from the moment you walk through the door. From the big glass dome on the ceiling to the old vault housing the toilets, the building’s heritage has been retained and it certainly makes for a unique dining spot.
Service
Miller & Carter is huge – and extremely busy – during our visit, but our waitress was very attentive, talking us through the menu and cuts of meat and offering advice on portion sizes and accompaniments. Service was with a smile all evening and nothing seemed to be a problem.
Menu
It’s a steak restaurant so the 30 -day aged beef is what most people come for. It comes in all sorts of cuts, from sirloin and fillet to ribeye and rump. There’s also special butchers cuts and sharing cuts. But if you don’t fancy a steak, there’s burgers, chicken and lamb. There are also vegetarian and gluten-free options.
Taste
My dining partner went for the T-bone and I opted for the fillet. The meat was cooked to perfection and melted in our mouths. In fact, we would both go so far as to say it was the best steak we’ve ever had. Teamed with triple cooked chips and peppercorn sauce, it was out of this world.
Ambience
Relaxed and friendly, it’s a great place to visit anytime, or for a special occasion. It really is a lovely treat.
Value
Starters start at £3.95 and mains are priced from £12.95 and steaks from £17.25. Our bill for two came in at just over £100 including drinks.
