Hazel, Bar & Restaurant

The food

Hazel works with seasonal, local ingredients and splits the menu into small plates and mains. You can mix three small plates from the Farm, Garden and Coast sections at a set price, which works well for sharing or for trying several things. Vegetarians are well catered for, with dishes such as red pepper hummus and mac and cheese. Haggis bonbons and soup appear among the more traditional choices, and the menu changes with the seasons.

Set menus and afternoon tea

A short three-course menu runs in the late afternoon and early evening from Sunday to Friday, which is useful before a show or a train. Afternoon tea, including a Champagne version, is served Sunday to Friday after lunch. The bar mixes cocktails, some using Scottish spirits, and has a considered wine list. You can also call in just for coffee or a drink during the day.

When to go

Its central position near George Square and Queen Street station makes it an easy choice for a pre-theatre dinner or a catch-up over cocktails. Book through OpenTable or by phone; the restaurant also takes group bookings and exclusive hire. Hazel runs a year-round offer for graduates, worth knowing if you are in town for a graduation.
