Emma The Gannet is marking 11 successful years in the heart of Finnieston
Celebrating 11 years of dining is The Gannet in Glasgow with the launch of a new autumn menu and an artist-in-residence initiative.
The Gannet has been open since 2013 under the direction of award-winning chef Peter McKenna. Over the past decade, the restaurant has earned and retained prestigious accolades, including three AA Rosettes.
The Gannet has teamed up with acclaimed artist Cornelius Wright to showcase a special collection of paintings inspired by Scottish chanterelles—an ingredient adored by McKenna and a hallmark of Scotland’s autumn season.
These paintings convey the mystery of the natural world and Wright’s striking works will adorn the restaurant’s walls throughout the remainder of the year, with pieces available for purchase by guests.
Wright, whose journey has taken him from Argentina to France before settling in Callander, draws inspiration from Scotland’s ever-changing seasonal landscapes. His work harmonises perfectly with The Gannet’s ethos, celebrating nature’s fleeting beauty and abundance.
Peter McKenna, Chef Patron at The Gannet, said:
“As we enter peak mushroom season, Cornelius’ work beautifully complements the flavours of our autumn menu. His paintings capture the essence of chanterelles, bringing the forest floor to our walls, while we present them on the plate.”
Highlights on the new autumn menu include Perthshire partridge with rich winter chanterelles, crispy potato and sloe sauce; Scottish cured Loch Melfort sea trout with iodised cream, dill and roe; and Cairngorm Red Deer with Isle of Mull dumpling, beetroot, and winter chanterelles.
The menu also celebrates collaborations with local producers, including Bare Bones—an award-winning craft chocolatier based in Glasgow—and locally foraged oyster mushrooms.
The autumn tasting and à la carte menus are available now through the end of November, served Wednesday to Saturday.
In addition, The Gannet will be supporting local food banks at Drumchapel & Possilpark Young People’s Futures, helping those in need through the end of the year.
