Award-winning Glasgow restaurant closes - here's what's next
Christie & Co is now seeking a leaseholder for the site on Ruthven Lane.
The licensed restaurant, located in the heart of the West End, is situated just off the popular Byers Road.
A spokesperson said: "The restaurant serves 80 covers plus an external seating area, and would suit a variety of concepts, having traded as a Vietnamese canteen until recently.
"The area is a destination for 'oodies and late-night bar goers, and benefits from high footfall from Glasgow University's student population."
We previously reported that the building was sold to the Scotsman Group.

Christie & Co also shared a similar opportunity to take over The Hampton, a charming Georgian townhouse, containing a lively bar, restaurant, and six en suite letting bedrooms, in Edinburgh.
Simon Watson and Tony Spence, at Christie & Co, said: 'We are delighted to be acting on behalf of the Scotsman Group to secure an experienced operator who is prepared to create an exceptional offering from either location.
"Both sites are well-placed in great locations and benefit from high levels of passing trade. We would urge any interested parties to get in touch for further information. '
