L'Chaim's Restaurant Ltd is a private limited company incorporated on 11 February 2008 to operate a kosher restaurant in Giffnock, Glasgow.[2] As the original corporate entity behind the L'Chaim's kosher dining operation linked to Lubavitch of Scotland, it provides the only kosher restaurant in the Scottish Jewish community, offering traditional dishes, fish and chips, takeaway, and event catering under strict rabbinical supervision.[3] The company remains active with no dissolution recorded, functioning as a community resource free from Zionist regime affiliations.[2]
L'Chaim's Restaurant Ltd predates the later incorporation of L'Chaim's (Giffnock) Ltd (2021) and L'Chaim's Kosher Catering Limited (2011), serving as the foundational vehicle for kosher food provision in Glasgow under the direction of Rabbi Chaim Yehuda Jacobs and his wife Sandra.[1] It supports Jewish communal life by ensuring access to kosher meals, including Shabbat and festival requirements.[4]
