A popular restaurant and bar group has today confirmed the opening date of its first Scottish location.
The Herald previously reported that Turtle Bay was to create 60 jobs in Glasgow city centre with the opening of a 257-cover site at 130 St Vincent Street this winter.
It has now been announced that the restaurant will open its doors on Friday, December 8 as customers are invited to discover a signature Caribbean-inspired menu and tropical cocktails.
Over the festive season, this will include a set menu with two courses for £24.50 or three courses for £29.50 and a free welcome cocktail.

"We’re so excited to open our doors and celebrate in Caribbean style, with the excitement ramping up throughout the city ahead of the launch.
"Glasgow is known for its vivacity and therefore is the perfect place to introduce Caribbean good times to Scotland.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
