Kylie Minogue also dined here
We know the Rogano as being one of the Royal Exchange Square's busiest eateries during its heyday, but its story begins in a different part of the city, and with a different name.
When he took over, Roger changed the name to Rogano – said to be inspired by the first three letters of his name, followed by ‘ano’ - meaning ‘another’, in reference to his silent business partner, Mr Anderson. Don Grant and then his daughter carried on running the Rogano until the 1980s when they sold it to Alloa Breweries, who refurbished it again and reopened it in June 1984 under head chef Ferrier Richardson.
Kylie Minogue is said to have ordered mussels when she visited the Rogano, and her starstruck waiter was so nervous he could only carry one starter at a time out of fear of dropping the plates.
