This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.

Modest and homely, Café JJ has been a familiar little haven on Partick Cross for more than 25 years. Inside is dark wood and cream, worn pine tables, blackboards with the specials along one wall and fairy lights framing the plate glass windows. During the day the friendly staff serve a menu of soup and sandwiches, burgers and baked potatoes. Lunchtime specials include soup and a sandwich for £5.25 and two pasta dishes with garlic bread for £10.99. Open later for the weekend, Café JJ offers a weekly three-course evening menu, with starters such as smoked salmon with black pepper and spring onions or chicken liver pâté followed by Thai green curry or venison and redcurrant casserole. Cakes include some fine home-baking, with the banoffee pie being especially good. Afternoon tea is proving popular, with multi-tiered cake stands, vintage teapots and dainty china cups, and, for the more indulgent, a glass of fizz.

Looks like they listened to the feedback as the salad with the prawn cocktail was really tasty.

Have to say - wonderful food, great service, good value- not often you get it all in Glasgow cafes.

Nice cafe environment with relaxed music, papers, mags etc.
