Eating & Drinking Guide 2009

This review appears in the The List's Eating & Drinking Guide 2009 – in the shops now or buy online.

The décor of Great Western Road’s Enjoy is fairly unassuming. The airy wooden-floored room is filled up with chunky leather sofas and bucket armchairs, which surround low-slung coffee tables. The walls are plain but for occasional minimalist framed artworks, giving the café a very coffee-shop feel. And whilst coffee, which they do well, is a popular draw for West End strollers, it is really the unexpectedly brilliant food which has customers coming back time after time. Enjoy serves up dishes from all corners of the world and it’s a testament to the quality of the cooking that, despite this variety, all dishes are warmly received. Their penne arrabiatta is a fresh and spicy lesson in how to make the dish, so often misunderstood to the point of blandness in lesser eateries. The dessert selection includes a range of home-made cakes which, even after a large main course, are rich and tasty as opposed to stodgy. Rather than shouting about just how very good they are, and failing to live up to their own hype, Enjoy is creating its own hype slowly and quietly in the best possible way – by simply being very good.

  • High point: Friendly and enthusiastic staff
  • Low point: Standard coffee-shop decor

In my opinion, best café in Glasgow by far. Food is delicious and tastes very fresh and having eaten there every couple of days since I discovered it last year I can say I have never been disappointed and it is my first choice café. The owner's Sebo and Manuella should be proud of what they have created. I agree in part with the review above regarding the cafe being 'undersold'.
However, having been to more pretentious cafes, without naming any [off hyndland rd/partick], Enjoy deliver's very tasty food at a very good price and focusses on quality food rather than image alone.

I love Enjoy. It's staff are genuinly nice people who make you feel comfortable and welcomed without being pushy and "in your face". The atmosphere is relaxed and this adds to the enjoyment (excuse the pun). It's coffee and food are really tasty and better than is expected of cafes these days. Really looking forward to sampling their delicious looking cakes on my next visit.

Enjoy is without a doubt the best coffee house in all of Glasgow and the staff are the friendliest around. The owners, Sebo, Manuella and their son Fat know how to make folks feel welcome and and just like home. The food is so tasty and fresh you will want to return again and again. However, the coffees are to die for and Fat is an excellent coffee maker. Go visit them , you won't regret it
