The Fish Plaice

An absolute darling of a pop up! An amazing use of a previously unremarkable space– I barely noticed the alley beside Birr Halle existed before and it was transformed into this magical wee Bothy. Perfect for a quirky romantic date night or a night with friends with a continental feel. All fairy lights and fir branches, it felt like being in an enchanted forest in Hansel and Gretel!
I love the amazing pop up scene in Glasgow. It’s so much fun to try new foods and have to grab them before they’re gone!
The self service was great and lovely staff. There was a rotisserie alongside the Fish Plaice and staff were really helpful.
The bijoux menu included a selection of flavoursome fish delights.
I had the fish pie which was the best I’ve ever had — and as a comment from a frequent feaster of fish that’s no small feat! My fellow dined had the salmon and haddock burger which I’m assured was awesome.
We didn’t use the bar but they had Heverlee beers and warm cider as well as prosecco. There was water on the tables too.
There were faux sheepskin rugs to keep your botty from freezing in the indoor/​outdoor space, fleece blankets for you to snuggle and patio heaters. It was so pleasant I took my coat off but my partner wasn’t finding it so balmy!
I hope they do another pop up soon– this was a really delightful and delicious treat.
