This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.
Glasgow’s arthouse cinema, the GFT, has been keeping the city’s cinephiles happy since the 1970s. The appealing art deco building has a dedicated café named after the original Cosmo Cinema that opened on the site in 1939. The café is a long way from the usual refreshments at today’s multiplexes, and you are more likely to find home-made hummus with crudités than a bucket of popcorn. With its appealing art deco-inspired interior of dark tones and brass fixtures, the café is a pleasant place to visit whether taking in a movie or not. The café is split into a lower level main area with tables and a raised area by the cinema's doors to watch the comings and goings. Sandwiches, soups and light bites are offered along with hot drinks and a variety of beers, wines and spirits for sipping over a chat about the merits of the movie you just watched. Plans are afoot to revamp the menu with a focus on local produce and sustainability.
- High point: Lovely art deco ambience
- Low point: Can get very busy before screenings
