@ Gather by Zique Reviewed by Amy Glasgow The Partick food scene has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, but there are some spaces that have become an institution. One of those places is CafeZique, straddling that fuzzy border with Hyndland and known for providing one of the best brunches in the west end. So, when it was announced that they were turning their deli next door into an upscale restaurant, it was bound to cause a stir. And cause a stir it did. When Gather by Zique first opened earlier this year the positive reviews flooded in, so when I made my way there one dreary Friday evening, my hopes were high. The interior is immediately inviting, with soft grey tones, plush cushions and cosy window seats. The staff were welcoming and attentive, quickly showing us to our seats and explaining their modern European menu. The food at Gather is designed to be shared, as the name suggests, the ethos of the restaurant is about creating a space where friends, family or colleagues can ‘gather’ to enjoy each others company while dining on a range of seasonal dishes. Guided by the staff, we decided to start with a platter of canapés, following this with four small plates between two. The menus change regularly, but expect offerings like crispy pigs head with potato terrine, langoustine broth with razor clams, burrata with grilled plums and venison ravioli with Jerusalem artichoke puree and chicken jus. Highlights included butternut squash and almond cappelletti (‘little hat’ shaped stuffed pasta), with cider and apple brown butter and parmesan. It was beautifully nutty and heavy with the distinct flavour of parmesan. www.westendermagazine.com | 43 One thing I did notice though was that every dish we ordered came adorned with crispy sage leaves, which is not exactly a problem, but it did become a tad repetitive. Every dish we tried was delicately plated and it was abundantly clear that this was an autumn/winter menu, filled with seasonal produce and rich, warming flavours. The real magic came though with our final course. Based on recommendations from our knowledgeable server, we ordered the chocolate fondant tart with peanut butter ice cream and the doughnuts with coffee cream and chocolate sauce for dessert and they were by far the stand out dishes of the night. To put a chocolate fondant inside a buttery tart case is surely a stroke of genius, and no small feat considering how perfectly gooey the centre of this dessert hybrid was. The doughnuts too were beautifully soft on the outside and coated in cinnamon sugar. Dipped in the accompanying chocolate sauce and coffee cream, they were nothing short of heavenly. Despite the growing competition in the promising Partick area, Gather by Zique is surely here to stay. An ever-changing menu means you’ll never eat the same meal twice (although I’d happily eat that chocolate tart all over again) and the relaxed, low-key atmosphere is a recipe for a lasting legacy.
