Michelin Guide-listed the Gannet in Glasgow to close after 12 years of trading

Michelin Guide-listed restaurant the Gannet in Glasgow has announced it will close on New Year’s Eve.

News of the planned closure comes 12 years after the restaurant opened its doors in Finnieston under chef Peter McKenna.

The Gannet received much acclaim during its years in operation, having been named AA Restaurant of the Year Scotland 2015/16.

It was also praised by the Michelin Guide for its “ambitious cooking” and “visually impressive” dishes.

In a post on Instagram, McKenna said: “It’s with mixed emotions that I write this, but it’s time to close one chapter before opening the next.

“The Gannet has been open for 12 successful years, and we are immensely proud of what has been achieved. I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to our network of producers and suppliers, without whom we wouldn’t have been able to go on this journey.”

He added: “We can’t wait to share our exciting plans for Eleven Fifty-Five Argyle Street in the coming months but until then we are looking forward to welcoming many familiar faces between now and the end of the year, we have some incredible events line up.”

The chef confirmed all in-date vouchers will be honoured before closing. Vouchers will also be valid for the new restaurant under the same conditions.
