Catalan-born chef Miguel Angel Mayor has been appointed to oversee the relaunch of Glasgow’s Rioja restaurant.
Angel Mayor worked at El Bulli before attracting a Michelin star for his cooking at Sucede, in Valencia, and has been brought in to spearhead a new ‘avante garde’ concept for the Finnieston-based restaurant that blends ‘fine cuisine and casual dining’.
Spread over two floors, the new-look Rioja is set to open next month. The design and interiors of the 60-cover space will be inspired by ‘the unrivalled beauty of Spain’s picturesque coastline’ using calming tones including baby blue, peach, and pastels.
