The Delphine

Restaurant · Glasgow

An all-day café-bar-restaurant on Princes Square in Glasgow — sage, walnut and brass on the surfaces, a small-plates menu calibrated for both lunch covers and late-evening cocktail dwell.

What we did

Address

Princes Square, 48 Buchanan St, Glasgow G1 3JN

The Delphine is an all-day café-bar-restaurant on the second floor of Glasgow’s Princes Square, designed to operate three different rooms inside one room — coffee-and-pastries in the morning, small-plates lunch through afternoon, cocktail-led service into late evening. The interior had to support all three trading modes without changing furniture.

The palette does most of the heavy lifting — sage green walls, walnut joinery, brass surface detailing and dark green-veined marble tabletops. Reads warm in flat daylight, glamorous under tungsten in the evening. A small host station at the door in matched sage doubles as a service caddy at peak.

Brand and signage are restrained and editorial — a serif wordmark in gold script above the entry, branded paper for takeaway and bills, menu typography that handles both food and cocktail listings without splitting the menu in two. The cocktail programme runs longer than the food menu by design; the room rewards staying for the second drink.
