This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.
The café at the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery is justifiably popular thanks to its family-friendly focus, quality food at nice prices and pleasant surroundings. The best seats are in the glass extension on the outside edge, with fine airy views to the university. The brisk and friendly service – perhaps spurred by wristbands activated by tabletop buzzers – battles admirably at weekends when the café is inundated with museum visitors, park users and families looking for a convenient lunch spot. Hot and cold breakfasts are available late morning Monday to Thursday and Saturday, with sandwiches, pastries and cakes available daily between noon and closing. The main lunch menu, served noon till 3pm, offers soups, salads, and platters, plus enticing main meals. A mezze taster is brimming with pitta, marinated feta, prosciutto and hummus, while a small caesar salad deftly balances the constituent ingredients. Mains include burgers, fish and chips, and haggis, plus a few global dishes such as Thai curry and Greek lamb stew. A highlight is the pot-roasted chicken supreme succulently sandwiching a slice of black pudding and complemented by sweet roasted vegetables.
- High point: Park views - if you can get the seats
- Low point: Staff wired to buzzers
