Award-winning Vietnamese restaurant to close with new plans for the site unveiled

AN award-winning restaurant in Scotland's biggest city is set to close - here's what's next for the site.

Glasgow's first Vietnamese canteen, Hanoi Bike Shop, will cease trading on August 25 this year.

Christie & Co is now seeking a leaseholder for the site on Ruthven Lane.

The licensed restaurant, located in the heart of the West End, is situated just off the popular Byers Road.

A spokesperson said: "The restaurant serves 80 covers plus an external seating area, and would suit a variety of concepts, having traded as a Vietnamese canteen until recently.

"The area is a destination for foodies and late-night bar goers, and benefits from high footfall from Glasgow University’s student population."

The building was previously sold to the Scotsman Group.

Christie & Co also shared a similar opportunity to take over The Hampton, a charming Georgian townhouse, containing a lively bar, restaurant, and six en suite letting bedrooms, in Edinburgh.

Simon Watson and Tony Spence, at Christie & Co, said: “We are delighted to be acting on behalf of the Scotsman Group to secure an experienced operator who is prepared to create an exceptional offering from either location. 

"Both sites are well-placed in great locations and benefit from high levels of passing trade. We would urge any interested parties to get in touch for further information. ”
