Cristal, the stunning restaurant of hot hotel Mar
Hall, is both just outside Glasgow and also a million
miles away. Mar Hall is a 19th-century Gothic mansion transformed into a very 21st century retreat, a perfect combination of classical elegance and modern luxury. Cristal boasts soaring vaulted ceilings, gothic paneling, lovely views over the gardens and grounds, and smart styling at eye level.
Award-winning chef Jim Kerr has come from One
Devonshire to thrill diners here with his classic
dishes inflected with Scottish and Eastern accents.
Dishes include starter of mussel and cornish crab
stew, main course of panfried duck breast and confit
leg with puy lentils and foie gras jus, and dessert of
prune and walnut parfait with toffee sauce. Eager
service, fine wines, relaxed ambience.
