What is it?
A slice of Glasgow’s glamorous past, The Anchor Line is one of the city’s most distinctive dining spots. Set within the former first-class booking office of the Anchor Line Shipping Company, this elegant restaurant blends rich maritime heritage with a polished modern brasserie experience.
Inside, you’ll find a striking blend of marble floors, wood-panelled walls, and art deco detailing, all echoing the golden age of transatlantic travel. The space is grand but warm, with soft lighting and a timeless charm that makes any occasion feel elevated.
Where is it?
Centrally located on St Vincent Place, The Anchor Line is right in the heart of Glasgow and just a short stroll from Native Glasgow. Perfect for dinner after a day exploring the city, or for a long, indulgent lunch that rolls into cocktails.
What you’ll find
The menu champions Scottish produce with a dash of New York brasserie flair. Think: hand-dived scallops, dry-aged steaks with cherry vine confit, and crisp skinny fries. There’s also a strong showing of seasonal seafood, fresh salads, and comforting classics, each plated with precision.
At the bar, you’ll find a refined list of wines, cocktails and whiskies, ideal for pre-dinner drinks or a nightcap with live music. From Thursday to Sunday, a pianist sets the tone for an evening that’s as much about the atmosphere as it is the food.
One-liner
Classic brasserie dining meets old-world glamour, right in the heart of Glasgow.
Native’s tip
Arrive hungry, the portions are generous, and you’ll want to leave room for dessert. Our pick? The vanilla cheesecake with berry compote is a crowd-pleaser.
