Award winning Red Onion is situated in the heart of Glasgow City Centre. The Chef/patron, John Quigley started his career in London's West End where he quickly established himself and gained a reputation for excellent casual gourmet dining. He then took the opportunity to travel the world as a private chef to many rock stars and celebrities such as Bryan Adams, Tina Turner and Guns n Roses.

Since returning to Glasgow John has opened and established numerous successful restaurants which have achieved international recognition. In 2005 John, along with his wife Gillian, decided to open their own restaurant -- Red Onion.

Red Onion is open 7 days a week serving food all day from 11am. It is a contemporary casual dining experience with a menu that offers something for everyone. The kitchen produces new interpretations of classic Scottish cookery, serving dishes that people know and love, and highlighting the best of Scottish produce. Its environment is modern and comfortable and the service relaxed and informal with the bustling feel of your local neighbourhood bistro.

Red Onion is now an established and well loved restaurant with a loyal and varied clientele from the local business, arts, media, music and political communities. Recent diners also include Billy Connolly, George Clooney, Michael Palin, Jon Bon Jovi, The First Minister for Scotland and Calvin Harris and Kelly Clarkson who both held their birthday celebrations in the restaurant.

Considering the slick service, quality produce and generously portioned dishes, Red Onion's prices are as suprisingly delightful as the dining experience.
