][1]The team behind the two figs and the left bank in Glasgow’s West End have just opened another lower case-loving venture on the Southside. Called the bungo, the new bar and restaurant has been conjured up from long standing pub premises which were formerly known as The Horseshoe and then The Fothers.
Local artists, such as Nichol Wheatley of Perfect Circle Art (who also did the massive floor mosaic in the Corinthian Club), have helped stamp character on the bungo but perhaps its defining feature is the amount of recycled materials used in its build. Team bungo reckon that some 70% of the new look is recylced, reclaimed and re-used.
Scots- Italian chef Paul Bonomi has come up with a menu that combines Indian, Italian and Scottish dishes. Think North Sea haddock suppers and Ayrshire beef burgers with rosemary chips; lamb badami and locally-sourced Cairnhill farm steaks.
