A popular restaurant chain is opening its first Scottish venue in Glasgow.
Caribbean eatery Turtle Bay has over 50 restaurants in England and Wales but were yet to venture north of the border - until now.
The chain will bring its signature soul food, tropical cocktails and reggae beats to the city centre, opening at 130 St Vincent Street later in the year.
We previously reported that plans had been submitted to Glasgow City Council to replace the former Barrhead Travel unit.
Once open, Turtle Bay will seat 219 covers indoors and a further 38 outside, and guests can enjoy watching the chefs at work with an open-kitchen jerk pit grill.
Around 60 local jobs will be created in the move.
To celebrate the new addition to the city's food scene, Turtle Bay is offering visitors the chance to win free tickets to the restaurant's opening week if they register through the company's app, Bay Club.
Gemma Lewis, operations manager at Turtle Bay said: “We are thrilled to announce that Turtle Bay will be opening in Scotland for the first time later this year.
"A milestone moment for us, we can’t wait to bring a taste of the Caribbean to Glasgow and look forward to introducing our unique soulful flavours and reggae good times to the Scottish market.”
