Dined at the chefs table- highly recommend the experience. It was wonderful to see the chefs in action and also have the opportunity to chat to them. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and the service was great. Special call out to the somm - she was one of the most eloquent somms we have met with clear and very thoughtful wine pairings and descriptions.

In Glasgow for other reasons, we found the time to fit in a lunch at Unalome (first time). And what a lovely lunch it was. We went for their three course lunchtime menu, offering a choice between two dishes for each course, currently priced at 55 pp. We opted to have everything between the two of us. Often you understand at once from the amuse-bouche whether or not you are in for a good treat. Here we were excited after the first bites. Flavours clear, balanced, varied. Technique was on display, and so was creativity. This theme continued throughout the meal. A superb raviolo with lobster came with a leek fondue and a garlic veloute'. A quail was plump and tender and satisfying, precisely cooked, with earthy aromas of truffle and mushroom suffusing the dish, and a smooth pomme puree. White plums, a small amount of delicious beef tartare and a very well-made brioche provided perfect support for a foie gras ballottine. Finally (for the savouries) a "bouillabaisse" brought the biggest surprise as it was a very cheffy affair---but definitely without losing sight of the substance, which was wonderful seafood produce and flavour, once again with meticulously precise cooking. I'm generally not one for desserts, but both a set cream of tonka beans featuring apricots, citrus and Sauterne in various forms, and a Valrhona chocolate coulant with cherries also in various forms, struck me for the richness and balance of flavours. Like in the earlier part of the meal, there were so many details in these dishes beside the central ingredient that showed true love for the craft beside mastery. The pricing for this quality is very friendly, as were all the members of the front of house staff. There are higher priced menus (100 and 135 pp) with more luxury ingredients, but even this was an almost perfect lunch. Only the timing of service from the kitchen needs improvement---waiting times between courses were erratic, varying from 5 minutes to almost half an hour. You always expect to eat at least decently in Michelin starred venues, but banality and form-over-substance are always around the corner, so even by those standards I was surprised on the upside at Unalome. Well done guys.
