Margo

Seasonally driven, ingredient-led cooking in the heart of Glasgow’s City Centre. Bib Gourmand - Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland, awarded within 16 weeks of opening.

Margo - a new restaurant from renowned Scottish restaurant group, Scoop (Ox and Finch, Ka Pao) - is now open in Glasgow, bringing a new drinking and dining spot to the city centre, serving snacks, small plates and sharing dishes that highlight curated seasonal produce, sourced from the finest growers and makers. The menu evolves regularly, while retaining a flavour-led approach with a focus on Scottish seafood, meat butchered in-house, and bread and pasta made from scratch.

In Margo, city-centre diners can find a bustling, efficiently run restaurant that’s deservedly popular thanks to its great buzz and flavour-packed, generously priced dishes. The restaurant is open plan, spread over two floors, with a semi-industrial feel and its lively atmosphere enhanced by an open kitchen. The sharing plates are a satisfying synthesis of Mediterranean cooking and Scottish produce, borne out in dishes like Smoked haddock churros, manchego and saffron and malted focaccia with prawn head butter, Beef tartare, grilled onion salad, crispy potato and crème fraîche; Beetroot, Yellison goat’s curd and cocoa tortelloni and West Coast crab tart with bitter leaf salad. To follow, a selection of larger dishes range from Skate wing with kumquat kosho, trout roe and green peppercorns and, to feasting-style plates including Dry-aged sirloin on the bone with café de Paris butter and Half Creedy Carver duck with liver parfait, marmalade and toast.

Of Margo, Jonathan MacDonald (Managing Director of Scoop Restaurants Group) said: Margo is an evolution of our first restaurant, Ox and Finch, which celebrated its 11th birthday and well-deserved renovation in 2025. Both restaurants share the same ethos of being relaxed, accessible and fun, alongside a focus on quality. Whilst retaining lots of the features that have made Ox and Finch so popular for the last decade, Margo is bigger and bolder. We are pushing things further in the kitchen, baking our own breads, making fresh pastas and also doing some in-house butchery. There is also a larger, more adventurous wine list, which the team have been sourcing from a range of great suppliers.”

Margo is the latest venture from Scoop Restaurants, the group behind both Glasgow’s Ox and Finch, and the popular southeast Asian-inspired Ka Pao restaurants in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
