A 350-capacity restaurant and bar in the Argyle Street Arches in Glasgow, which claims to be the biggest in Scotland, has revealed it is fully booked for advance reservations for its opening month.
PLATFORM, which highlights its “pivoting” of the operation from an indoor food market to create “Scotland’s largest casual restaurant and street food kitchen in a beautiful transformation of the iconic Argyle St Arches”, opens its doors at noon today.
It says limited walk-in tables will be available each day, while demand has been such that it has now opened its diary for bookings to September.

Guests entering PLATFORM will walk through a high-tech thermal scanner.
PLATFORM has devised and built an app for online ordering of an international menu that features previous traders Gallus Pasta, Tiny Dancers and Ginger & Chilli alongside a new drink offering. There is also a bright yellow online ordering truck for those wishing to order face-to-face instead.
Scott McCormick, owner of PLATFORM, said: “We’ve been overwhelmed with the support from Glasgow and can’t wait to reveal our new street food concept this weekend.
“A lot of love has gone into this menu development and we’re confident in our new offering. The response to our new restaurant has been incredible."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
