Hutchesons

A steak and seafood house set in a historic setting (the 19^th century former Hutcheson Hospital in the heart of the Merchant City), this place looks like one of those fancy European brasseries of yesteryear, and has been making a great name for itself since opening last autumn. Café bar The 158 can be found at street level, doing all from posh breakfasts to specialty cocktails. The main event is the appropriately-named Grand Brasserie upstairs. Immaculate attention to detail in the room’s restoration (you’ve never seen ornate cornicing quite like it) is matched by a menu ranging from 35 day dry-aged Scottish steaks to crustacean and seafood classics.
