The List's Eating & Drinking Guide 2008 is now in the shops.

This review is from the 2007 edition.

It could be the location in the heart of the West End or the heart and soul that goes into the food produced in Fiona Buchanan's bustling deli-café that gave rise to the name for this gastronomic emporium. The interior has a rustic authenticity, with shelves crammed full of goodies and well chosen wines. The stuffed head of a gargantuan Highland cow watches over the Byres Road crowd who line up at the counter for sandwiches, salads and sugar-glazed confections to takeaway or enjoy at the new mezzanine bar. With only 12 seats, there can be a bit of a squeeze at busy times, but this encourages a friendly buzz between customers as they tuck into bowls of home-made soup and daily specials made lovingly by the chefs using the best local, seasonal produce. A hot cheese, ham and tomato sandwich is a more imaginative version of the over-used panini and comes on a wooden board with salad and crisps. The Bei & Nannini coffee is served in satisfyingly-sized mugs and tastes delicious with a giant praline meringue. Expanding the empire next door is Baker & Kitchen, which offers private dining from an eclectic menu, and a shop specialising in patisserie and sauces.
