Now under new ownership, patisserie café Valaria, on Byres Rd in Glasgow’s west end, has been reinvented with longer hours and a savoury evening menu.
When it first opened in 2023, Valaria focussed on an ‘instagrammable’ offer of refined patisseries, cakes and pastries.
Now, following its takeover by Glasgow-based couple Sabrina Simeone and Scott Crossland, Valaria has extended its opening hours, and will offer both treats and small dishes for all day brunch, and an evening menu of both ‘healthy bites and hearty small plates’.
Sabrina Simeone said: “We are thrilled to introduce our new evening menu and extend our opening hours at Valaria which reflects our passion for innovative cuisine while staying true to our commitment to quality and seasonality.
“Our goal is to create a relaxed evening cafe experience where guests can unwind, savor outstanding food, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere that makes Valaria so special in Glasgow’s West End.”
Valaria’s new evening offerings are said to ‘celebrate bold flavours, seasonal ingredients, and a modern take on classic dishes inspired by culinary traditions from around the world’.
Dishes include chargrilled chicken & chorizo flatbread or bun; burrata, smoked tomato fondue; serrano ham; n’djua arancini; bocconcini mozzarella; lamb kofta flatbread or bun, crispy duck salad and barbequed courgettes. Evening desserts include an array of cakes, homemade ice creams, sorbets and signature crumbles.
Valaria’s daytimes will continue to offer a large selection of sweet treats including artisan choux pastries, croissants and croissant cubes, ny rolls and homemade cakes, as well as an assortment of filled focaccias, french toast, eggs benedict, soups and savoury croissants.
