iasg Glasgow: Spirited Scottish Seafood on Blythswood Square

A Gaelic name with coastal roots

At iasg in Glasgow, the menu focuses on spirited Scottish seafood drawn from local waters and inland farms. The restaurant takes its title from the Gaelic word for fish, reflecting a clear commitment to the region's produce. Located inside the Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel, the kitchen builds its dishes around fresh catch while incorporating ingredients from across the country. This approach recently earned the establishment one AA Rosette for culinary excellence.

Kitchen craft and seasonal plates

Diners can expect straightforward presentations that highlight fresh catch and regional meats. Filenames from the gallery point to preparations like stone bass, venison, and squash tortellini, alongside bar favorites such as crab fritters and lobster burgers. The team shifts its focus through the seasons, keeping the Scottish larder at the forefront of every service. Drinks are crafted to complement the bold flavors of the Scottish coast, ranging from Negronis to house signatures.

A flexible space within the hotel

While the main dining room undergoes scheduled maintenance, service currently moves to The Salon on the first floor. The relocated setting retains the original focus on crisp lines and uncluttered tables, allowing guests to concentrate on the food and conversation. Afternoon tea and private functions also utilize the space, making it adaptable for both casual visits and larger gatherings. The kitchen rounds out the evening with simple sweets like praline fondant that pair naturally with the day's catch.
