Glasgow to welcome new restaurant Vera

A new independent neighbourhood restaurant is set to open its doors in Glasgow’s Southside this September, joining the food and drink scene around Nithsdale Road and Strathbungo.

Vera, which takes its name from the Latin word for 'true', will be built around a seasonal menu, focussing on ingredients that are available at certain times of the year.

Located at 138 Nithsdale Road, Glasgow, Vera will welcome its first diners on Thursday 10 September, with a changing seasonal menu built around quality produce, uncomplicated cooking and "a desire to become a genuine neighbourhood favourite".

The opening menu will showcase familiar, comforting dishes made with quality ingredients and given a considered twist. Drinks will receive the same attention, with a carefully selected wine list sitting alongside cocktails, beers and after-dinner serves.

“The Southside already has an incredible independent food and drink scene, and that was a huge part of why we wanted Vera to be here," says the team behind the venture. "We didn't want to create somewhere that people feel they have to save for a special occasion. Vera is supposed to become part of your week — somewhere you can decide at five o'clock that you fancy dinner, pop in for a glass of wine and something to eat, or end up staying all night.

"The menu will constantly evolve with the seasons. There'll always be something new coming out of the kitchen, but the philosophy won't change: great produce, big flavours and food that we genuinely love eating ourselves. Ultimately, we want people living around the Southside to feel like Vera is their restaurant."
