Cookie’s Menu frees up, as things come into season.

Our menu has changed to bring in some fresh ideas. We have restructured the menu to give a clearer definition between starters and main courses. A variety of delicious starters or light lunch ideas are given room as well as interesting seasonal salads .

Here are a few of this weeks specials: Grilled duck liver with Rhubarb Chutney and Camomile smoked salmon. Elder-flower sorbet and Rhubarb brulée.

Our off sales will see a few new names next week

Brachetto d’acqui appears for the summer. This is lovely red, bubbly, strawberry wine. Fruity red fizzy low on alcohol. “Must be nuts….a fruity low on alchohol wine in Glasgow?” Someone said to me… Cookie. It is perfect way to start the evening. “This is perhaps the most delicious, charming wine made today that few people know about.

The Gruner Veltiner is now on its way from Mr. Schmid in Austria. So spritzer your evenings with this fantastic mineral melon and lemon wine and pretend you are looking down from the Viennese hills at the Danube.

“while savvy wine lovers have been in the know on Grüner Veltliner for a while now word is also starting to reach those that like wine but don’t necessarily spend all their free time geeking out about it.”
