Nick Rietz, former head chef at Glasgow’s Two Fat Ladies, has launched his own venture in Dennistoun, East Glasgow, called Bilson Eleven.
Nick and his wife Liz have invested £70k to turn a 140-year old Victorian townhouse at 10 Annfield Place into an intimate 20-cover restaurant.
Nick said, “It’s a beautiful building. We’ve stuck to the original features and took inspiration from the Victorian elements we uncovered and put in a new kitchen.”
Bilson Eleven will operate as BYOB until it secures its liquor licence. Nick adds, “It’s a lovely area and people seem excited to have something new and a bit different open.”
