The Delphine, an all-day bistro, caffè and bar is scheduled to open in Glasgow’s Princes Square next month.
The new venue is the latest from The Superlative Collection, which operates Glasgow’s The Noble, Glaschu, Maison by Glaschu, Gōst, The Duke’s Umbrella, The Clubhouse and Blue Dog.
Situated in the courtyard of Princes Square shopping mall on Buchanan Street, the caffé and wine bar will offer brunch, lunch and dinner in ‘laid-back elegance’.
The 130-cover venue will include a large bar area, terrace, and courtyard, with a private dining room for events of up to 100 people.
The kitchen team will be led by head chef Kenny Maltman, offering menus ‘heavily inspired’ by the summer, with a fresh selection of salads and brunch dishes with global influences.
On that menu will be caramelised dulce de leche french toast with condensed milk caramel; Thai prawn and cod fishcakes served with a poached egg and hollandaise; sunny vibes salad with brown rice, cashews, quinoa, greens and lemongrass; and chicken milanese with rocket salad, pepper mayo and fries.
The bar will be headed up by group bar manager, Ewan Angus, who will curate a menu of brunch cocktails and classics.
A selection of house-blend smoothies, shakes and juices will also be available, including a green machine made with mango, broccoli, avocado, coconut, ginger, lime and spinach; wild wild zest, with lemongrass, mango, pineapple, spinach and apple; and a livin’ la vida cocoa protein shake.
A selection of ‘shooters’ will also be available at brunch, in flavours such as ginger, turmeric, and hot mango.
Chef Maltman said: “I’m delighted to be joining The Superlative Collection, heading up the kitchen at their latest venture, The Delphine.
“With this new venue, we wanted to create a vibrant sanctuary in the heart of Princes Square, so we’ve built bright and refreshing menus to reflect this. And don’t worry if you prefer something a little more indulgent, we’ve got that covered too.
“Whether you want to pop in for a brunch with friends, a laid back work lunch, or cocktails with the girls, The Delphine has something for everyone. We can’t wait to open our doors for you very soon.”
Area general manager of The Superlative Collection’s Princes Square venues, Nicole Ramage, added: “We are so excited to be part of the positive change and new direction of the iconic Princes Square, after seeing such success with Maison by Glaschu and The Clubhouse already.
“Opening our third venue as part of this re-development is an honour, and we can’t wait to give shoppers even more reason to visit the Square, in the heart of Glasgow.”
