An independent restaurant and beer hall, or bier hall, Bar Varia is situated within Snow Factor, Scotlands only indoor, real snow ski slope and features panoramic views of the slopes. Specialising in German food and German beer, diners can immerse themselves in Bavarian style dining experience that’s perfect for both casual occasion and special celebrations.
Now accepting the Gourmet Society card, members who call in advance can enjoy everything on the eclectic menu at a fantastic price, granting extra funds for something tantalising to drink, whether it’s some of the Fairtrade gourmet coffee, one of the smooth milkshakes or, of course, any of the premium German/Bavarian beers.
Everything is made using only the finest in locally sourced ingredients, ensuring each bite will be fresh and bursting with flavour. This is no more apparent than with the superb starters, which features the likes of the scrumptious Mozzarella & jalapeno pretzel balls, available with a honey mustard sauce, the enticing Bavarian pickles, deep fried in a spicy batter and paired with a ranch dressing, and the classic chicken wings.
Sociable parties will adore the massive platters served, which showcase some of the best of Bavarian style fare, such as the massive Tyrol Platter, consisting of four types of sausage, chicken schnitzel, pork belly and more, and the gargantuan Table Breaker, which offers the same as the former albeit with an extra helping of rump and ribeye steaks.
Those seeking something to enjoy individually can take their pick from a wealth of wondrous main courses options. Particularly merit worthy meals include the invigorating sweet chilli coconut chicken salad, tossed with bread noodles, the tender rack of ribs, partnered with chunky chips and a Dunkle barbecue sauce, and the sumptuous ravioli, filled with either four cheese or spinach & Ricotta and enriched with sundried tomatoes & a basil oil.
Close to the Braehead Shopping Centre and part of Snow Factor, diners have plenty around to see, do and explore when they visit Bar Varia.
