First look at new restaurant set to open in Paisley

Il Pescatore will be located on the ground floor of The Millhouse, a near six-million-pound development being constructed in Bridge Street.

The fine-dining restaurant will have facilities to offer takeaways and space for a new café, as well as outdoor seating space by the river.

Nixon Blue are the developers behind the new Millhouse apartments, which are a collection of two-and-three bedroom homes set over six storeys.

The site was bought in 2018 and was previously disused for more than a decade before Nixon Blue's managing directors Richard McFadzean and Colin McIntyre stepped in to purchase and develop the corner plot.

Mr McFadzean said: "We set out to transform the riverside location with the ambition that our residents would be able to live by the water while creating a community hub at The Millhouse.

"Rejuvenation of our corner site is nearing completion and we are delighted to secure a buyer for our prime location. 

"The new restaurant will be an asset to our development and to the town as we continue our plans to breathe new life into this riverside location. 

"We want to invest in the town, its local amenities, and create a vibrant residential area for those who live, eat and work in Paisley."

Final plans are still under wraps before the launch of Il Pescatore, with interior design firm Arka continuing to work on visuals and final finishes.

A number of jobs are on offer at the new seafood restaurant, with vacancies including chef, kitchen porter and front of house, as well as bar and waiting staff.

Those interested in applying for a role should email their CV to Info@ilpescatorepaisley.co.uk.

A new showhome at The Millhouse has also opened to viewing by appointment only with Savills or by visiting the interactive Millhouse website at themillhousepaisley.com.
