Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2012 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.

Fressh is just off George Square, and a refreshing antidote to some of the big commerical outfits in the area. It serves a limited menu but does it very well. Soups are always excellent, and the sandwich fillings are fresh and colourful if a little unadventurous. A particular favourite is the pastry-less mini-quiche which suits the gluten-free and any remaining Atkins diet fans. Cakes are variable. The home-made fare is excellent but like so many places it travels the rocky road of bought-in tray bakes. The bright, contemporary space with effective and budget-conscious décor often has queues at lunchtime as it is popular with Glasgow City Council employees – it is satisfying to see that public money is not all being blown on lavish expense account lunches.

  • High point: Fressh flavours
  • Low point: Not all cakes home-made

Reviews of Fressh (51-53 Cochrane Street, Merchant City, Glasgow)

1. Artful Roger, Glasgow – 9 July 2009, 5:33pm5 starsFresshReport

Just a really fantastic place. Nice prices, friendly people. Big open space, room to eat their lovely salads and sandwiches and just, clear your head. The great thing about the so-called 'low point' listed in the article? (specials board) you get to talk to people - they'll make anything you want! The name says it all...
