Le Set opens at the Penthouse in Princes Square on Thursday, 24 September, with reservations opening Wednesday, 9 September. It is the latest venture from Si Ferry and business partner Jordan Allan. The idea is to give Glasgow something it lacks: somewhere you can spend the whole night in one room without decamping to the next spot when dinner ends. The venue promises city-centre dining, cocktails, Champagne, live music and late-night dancing, from lunch and dinner through to 1am.

Leading the kitchen is head chef Nick Rietz, formerly head chef at Two Fat Ladies and founder of Michelin Guide-listed Bilson Eleven. He has worked at Hof van Cleve in Belgium, then one of Europe's most celebrated three-Michelin-starred restaurants. The opening menu includes lobster toast, wagyu beef tacos and Millionaire fries finished with fresh truffle and caviar. The late-night soundtrack will be curated by So Serious Artists, founded by Glasgow-born DJ and producer Illyus Barrientos, an Ibiza regular.

This follows a successful first year for Ferry and Allan's Glasgow restaurant Grosso, on Duke Street. The venue will accommodate approximately 200 guests standing and seated and will create over 25 new jobs.
