"It’s our goal to take Bijoux to the next level by opening a restaurant/bar in Glasgow.

“We want to bring an international and European feel to Bijoux Glasgow as far as being known as a great place to come relax have a good time and drink. We want to be known as an all-round venue both for eating and drinking.

“It’s our goal at Bijoux Glasgow to have everything under the one roof — come sit have a great relaxing meal with some awesome wine or come chill listen to some music with friends and have a fantastic time and maybe have a slice of pizza while you’re there.”
