Charles Rennie Mackintosh: knew his mind when it came to art. His views on a two course meal for £15.95 remain, sadly, unknown.

Regular readers may recall the 5pm Dining blog spraffing on about the Creative Mackintosh Festival which is taking place in Glasgow throughout October.

A celebration of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the festival is now in full swing.

Running alongside the festival is the Big Mack Dinearound which is organised by our chums at Glasgow Dinearound.

The idea behind the Big Mack Dinearound is simple. Until the end of October, dozens of Glasgow’s great restaurants are offering special menus with two or three course meals for £15.95.

You can browse the participating restaurants from here.

Alla Italia, 29 – the Grill at the Square, Red Onion, Lychee Oriental, Di Maggio’s city centre and Metropolitan Cocktail Bar and Restaurant all caught our eye.

2 for 1 on exhibition entry

But it’s not all about the pleasures of the table. 5pm customers are a cultured crowd and diners who book the Big Mack Dinearound will also be able to take advantage of the following:

2 for 1 tickets to the Mackintosh Architecture exhibition at The Hunterian

10% discount in The Lighthouse, Glasgow School of Art and House for an Art Lover shops.

You can claim these additional discounts by presenting a copy of your booking confirmation at the relevant outlets.
