Miller and Carter, St Vincent Street, Glasgow

Steak house in Glasgow city centre

Miller and Carter have been open for a few years (see our original review here). This time I was here for lunch with the Colonel and they had a January Rare Treat Set Menu on offer.

We had booked, and just as well, it was full to the brim. The inside is impressive and the entrance. I remember standing in the post office here many a time. It looks a lot more imposing now, a good job of highlighting the architectural details.

What we ate

The starters sounded OK, but it’s cold outside and we “needed” to have some sticky toffee pudding, and only having a lunch hour meant the decision was made. Dessert instead of a starter.

It was one of those days when we both ordered the same. Rump steak and chips. One with beef dripping sauce and the other with a classic bearnaise sauce. Not forgetting the lettuce wedge, one with bacon and honey dressing the other with garlic mayo and Grana Padano.

Both of us were impressed with the rump steaks. Cooked to our liking, moist, tender and tasty. The onion loaf tasted just like a squashed onion ring and nothing out of the ordinary chips. One minus was the sauce, not as thick as expected.

Of course space for some sticky toffee pudding and ice cream. A very date-flavoured pudding with a dense sponge. It needed the sauce and the ice cream to give it moisture as the sponge was that thick.

Verdict

Thumbs up for us both and especially for the January Rare Treat price of 2 courses for £21.95 and 3 courses for £24.95. All in £53.75 for two inc a large soft drink and a small glass of wine. A one-paw rating. In the area, swing by.
