More than one hundred people queued for over an hour in the rain as a new Finnieston restaurant offered a freebie.
Chateau-X in Finnieston, a new restaurant specialising in Chateaubriand, is offering a chateaubriand for all customers on a first come first serve basis.
Everything else needs to be paid for - but how could you argue with that?!
A picture from 11AM this morning, one hour before the restaurant opens, shows almost one hundred people waiting in a queue that snakes around the corner from the Claremont street unit.
The restaurant officially opens to the public on the 8 December.

Chateau-X is from the team behind Six By Nico.
The launch menu will consist of a 500g Chateaubriand and a choice of six sides.
Sides will updated seasonally and the menu will kick off with Beef Dripping Rooster Chips, Barbecue Hispi Cabbage with Black Garlic and Aged Ewes Cheese, Mac & Cheese Croquettes with Chipotle Emulsion, Roasted Sprouted Broccoli, Buttermilk and Tarragon dressing, Bone Marrow & Oxtail with parsley crust and a Classic Caesar Salad with Aged parmesan.
Diners will be tempted first with warm sourdough bread from Soja Bakery, whipped butter and gordal olives. Soft serve ice cream will also be available to tempt those with a sweet tooth.
Commenting on the launch Nico Simeone founder of Six By Nico said: "From the time we started talking about launching the Chateau-X restaurant idea, we knew everything had to revolve around the perfectly executed Chateaubriand. We've taken this much-loved restaurant classic and improved it with seasonally inspired sides and attention to every detail that will set us apart from the competition."
Simeone Group CCO Andy Temple said: “We have a very exciting 48 hours ahead as we open our doors at Chateau-x for the first time in Finnieston. We’ll aim to feed as many Glaswegians as possible on Saturday and Sunday - ahead of the official opening on Dec 8th - with a free Chateaubriand for every customer who joins us - until we run out! Come down, join us and enjoy a feast on us!”
