DINE AROUND AT DESEO
The Gleneagles® Hotel has launched its exciting new Mediterranean deli-style restaurant Deseo, offering informal yet delicious dining. Tempting aromas from various food stations change throughout the day, whilst the sense of theatre makes each station an attraction in their own right. Deseo is perfect for all the family with a strong emphasis on varied and healthy eating, inspired by the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle.
Alan Hill, Director of Food and Beverage at Gleneagles said:
“Deseo is an exciting and fresh new concept, offering guests a wide selection of different cuisines. This is the perfect addition and Gleneagles now has a restaurant to suit all tastes”.
Deseo means ‘whatever you desire’ in Spanish. Embracing this concept, the restaurant will be amongst the first in Scotland to offer a “Dine Around” experience, whereby guests can walk around the various food stations including an Antipasto Table, laden with herb roasted vegetables, olives, charcuterie, sun-ripened fruits, cheeses, freshly baked Artisan breads, oils and delicious dressings. Authentic Tapas is available throughout the day and into the evening, taking its cue from gastronomic delicacies of France, Italy and Spain. Savour dishes such as spicy toasted beans, acorn fed Joselita ham, or enjoy a delicate dish of baby clams.
For a hearty dinner, choose from a range of appetisers, pizzas, pastas or alternative main course dishes, all cooked to order. Highlights include roast pork shoulder with cumin seeds, honeycomb and fennel gravy and Linguine pasta with poached egg, summer green beans and pesto rosso. Highly trained chefs and local purveyors are situated at each food station to answer any questions and recommend their favourite dishes.
Gleneagles are committed to local produce, sourcing ingredients from the ‘Scottish Larder’, with lamb reared in Orkney, which has grazed on seaweed, and pork reared on a farm bordering the Gleneagles Estate. Choose a mouth watering 28 day aged piece of prime cut quality Scotch Beef sirloin, rib or fillet steak, and the Gleneagles’ chefs will cook it exactly as you like in the Josper charcoal oven. A wide range of locally caught seafood and shellfish are also on offer, and are delicious grilled on charcoal or baked in salt with wild fennel.
Deseo is open for lunch, drinks and tapas and informal yet elegant dining in the evening. Set in 850 acres of glorious Perthshire country and home to the two Michelin star Andrew Fairlie restaurant, Gleneagles offers the finest and most innovative dining in Scotland.
