Muse Brasserie brings a taste of France to Gloucester Quays

Peel Retail & Leisure has announced that Muse Brasserie, the French fusion restaurant making its mark on the South West, has opened at Gloucester Quays, signifying its city debut and reinforcing the outlet’s quality F&B offer. 

Muse Brasserie has opened in the 3,282 sq ft space adjacent to Nando’s, Pizza Express, and Portivo Lounge. Serving 100 covers, the French fusion concept boasts a varied season menu, with a focus on consistently high quality ingredients. Its signature dish, exclusive to their Gloucester Quays location, is the Gloucester Old Spot pork chop served with apple & cider purée, hispi cabbage, and creamy mash, a hearty regional dish that reflects the character of the surrounding historic docks, with the brasserie’s outdoor dining providing a pleasant outlook onto the waterfront.

Muse Brasserie’s decision to open its third location at the outlet, following success in Cheltenham and Bristol, showcases Gloucester Quays’ position as a leading South West destination, and strengthens the outlet’s line-up of distinctive and dynamic dining concepts for visitors looking to extend their visit beyond traditional retail. 

Paul Carter, Asset Director at Peel Retail & Leisure, commented: “Curating a varied and quality F&B line-up is a key element of our leasing strategy, as the strong dining options at Gloucester Quays enable an all-day experience for our guests. The opening of Muse Brasserie follows Banchina Italian's opening in March, and cements the destination’s position as a leading crossover outlet destination, which continues to attract brand interest from established and emerging operators.” 

Limon Rahman, Founder of Muse Brasserie, added: “Opening at Gloucester Quays is a milestone moment for us, marking the third location for Muse Brasserie in the South West. The opening comes in time for summer, when the outlet’s unique waterside location will allow for al fresco dining, or the chance to be immersed in our French fusion heritage with stunningly curated interior design. We already feel at home at the Quays and look forward to a prosperous future at the South West’s prime outlet destination.”

This opening follows Gloucester Quays’ announcement of the arrival of Mr Simms Sweet Shop and the debut of Brand Eyewear, in March. The unique eyewear concept combines discounted pricing structures with in-demand brands, including Ray-Ban, Oakley, Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani.
