Zibibbo opening in Princes Square as team behind Glasgow faves tease new restaurant and shop

An exciting new restaurant, bar and lifestyle shop from the team behind Glasgow faves Ralph & Finns, Vroni’s Wine Bar, and Malo, is set to open in Princes Square this December.

Located in the shopping centre's vibrant courtyard, Zibibbo – named after the famous grape known for its rich, aromatic wines – will showcase an extensive list, including a broad selection of sparkling wines available by the glass and bottle.

Open from 10am daily, the duo behind the venue, Andy and Emma MacSween, say it will offer a casual yet relaxed all-day dining experience with a menu featuring small and large plates designed to cater to all tastes and occasions.

The husband-and-wife team, who have over 30 years of combined experience, are thrilled to be bringing the exciting new spot to Princes Square.

Set in the former Buzzy Wares basement space, Zibibbo is undergoing a complete transformation. The space will feature a "showstopping tiled bar", accommodate up to 120 guests, and include a mezzanine available for private hire.

The pair say the lifestyle shop will be home to a "curated collection of unique goods" and is set to open a few weeks after the restaurant launch, adding an extra dimension to the Zibibbo experience.

Sharing her excitement for the launch, Emma said: “We’re thrilled to bring a fresh, lively energy to Princes Square with Zibibbo. We’ve designed it as a place where people feel welcome from morning until late, whether they’re coming in for a morning coffee, a relaxed lunch, or a festive evening out.

"Being a family-run business, we really want Zibibbo to feel accessible to everyone while offering a beautifully styled experience that adds something unique to Glasgow’s dining scene.”

Executive chef Kevin O’Neill spoke about the menu people can expect, adding: “With Zibibbo, we’re excited to showcase a menu that’s both versatile and vibrant, designed to complement our extensive wine list. From elegant small plates to share, to heartier main dishes, the focus is on quality ingredients, fresh flavours, and dishes that suit any time of day. We want guests to come in, discover something new, and keep coming back for more.”
