A new restaurant will open in Glasgow's Southside this week as the team aims to become a 'genuine neighbourhood favourite'.

Located on Nithsdale Road, Vera will welcome its first diners on Thursday, September 10, offering an ever-changing seasonal menu built around quality produce.

A member of the team behind the new restaurant said: "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.

“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.”

The opening adds another independent name to the wider Strathbungo area, which has become one of Glasgow's most popular neighbourhoods for eating and drinking.

The debut menu will showcase Vera’s approach to food with familiar, comforting dishes given a considered twist. Drinks will receive the same attention, with a carefully selected wine list sitting alongside cocktails, beers and after-dinner serves.

Vera is located at 138 Nithsdale Road, Glasgow.
