Tantris: Fifty Five Years in the Same Building
Open since 1971 and never moved, in the purpose built house it opened in. Munich has rebuilt itself around Johann-Fichte-Strasse 7. The address has not changed once.
Read the review →Graeme Cheevers left a starred kitchen at Loch Lomond to open his first solo room in Finnieston, and won a Michelin star inside eight months. Refined, French-leaning cooking on the best Scottish produce, at a lunch price that undercuts the city.
The kitchen
Unalome is Graeme Cheevers' first restaurant under his own name, opened in 2021 on Kelvingrove Street in Finnieston after he made his name at Martin Wishart at Loch Lomond. The Michelin star arrived in the 2022 guide, roughly eight months after opening, one of the fastest awards in recent British memory, and it has held it since. The cooking is refined and French-influenced, built on top-tier Scottish produce: Orkney scallops, North Sea fish, game in season.
The room and the value
The room is elegant and calm, the service composed. The set lunch, around fifty-five pounds, is repeatedly cited as starred cooking at roughly half the going rate, which makes it the sensible way in; the seven-course tasting runs to about a hundred and thirty-five. The name, a Buddhist symbol for the path that spirals and then straightens, marks Cheevers' own route to his own kitchen.

The TGC view
Unalome is the second Glasgow star, and the value pick of the two: the same city, a different register from Cail Bruich, and a lunch that is among the best-priced Michelin meals in Scotland. TGC books it, the lunch included.

Broeding: No Menu, One Room, and an Austrian Wine List Sold by the Case Next Door
A Munich restaurant with no choice on the menu, a new set menu every night, and a wine shop attached. The wine list is built by people whose day job is selling the bottles, which changes what ends up in the glass.

Le Doyenné
Two Australian chefs left the Paris kitchens for the stables of a château thirty-six kilometres out, and cook almost entirely from a market garden that was already there. The garden is the restaurant, not its supplier.
