Barras brilliance

Located in the heart of the historic Barras market lies the Barras Art and Design centre (BAaD). Home to Glasgow's east end art quarter and a host of independent creative businesses, pop-up shops and galleries for many years, BAaD has re-opened following extensive renovation. Now boasting a gorgeous restaurant, internal heated courtyard, event space, bar, independent food venues and pop-up shops, Glasgow's newest food hub aims to stand on a level with the top European foodie hotspots.

The backdrop for today’s brilliant deal is A’Challtainn; a seafood-lover’s heaven set in the heart of BAad. Offering the finest in Scottish fish dishes, this restaurant boasts a number of awards, including the List’s Newcomer award for 2017/2018 as well as covetable place on their ‘Hit List’ for 2018/2019.
