Roastit Bubbly Jocks
450 Dumbarton Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6SE
This unassuming little spot on Dumbarton Road playfully lulls patrons into a false sense of carelessness: a shower curtain keeps the draft out, and paintings on the wall are a cheerful hotchpotch of styles and eras. There's a BYOB policy (though it is…
La Tasca
39-43 Renfield Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1JS
Given the somewhat booming Spanish music - with riotously colourful over-the-top decor to match - first time visitors here might worry that they're in for the Iberian equivalent of a classic resort 'English breakfast'. But relax (if you can stop your…
The Wee Curry Shop
7 Buccleuch Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G3 6SJ
The aptly named Wee Curry Shop, the city centre flagship, offers a memorable dining experience. The aroma from the open-plan kitchen, coupled with the compact dining space, gives the feeling of comfort and familiarity. Service certifies the winning…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
Near the top of its game since opening in 1994, Mother India is likely to be among the first places Glasgow gourmands recommend. And not just as a quality curry house, either, but as one of the most highly reputed restaurants in the city in general. The…
Fanny Trollopes
1066 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8LY
Inconspicuously set amid a parade of shop fronts in Finnieston, Fanny Trollopes café bistro is the neighbourhood restaurant that everyone might wish they could stumble across. Solid wooden tables and chairs are intimately pushed together in a rather…
Jade Garden
303 Sauchiehall Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ
The narrow stair up from Sauchiehall Street and the dark wood of the bar area gives no indication of the calm pastel décor that greets visitors to Jade Garden's dining room. Tables for two by the windows let customers watch the world go by in the street…
Kokuryo
1138 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TD
On a stretch of Argyle Street that seems perpetually about to burst into fashion (but never quite does), Kokuryo has quietly established itself as a bustling local diner. The fact that the 'neighbourhood' happens to be transformed into central Seoul is…
Thai Lemongrass
24 Renfrew Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3BW
Despite its low-key frontage on a busy little stretch of Renfrew Street, Thai Lemongrass turns out to have an impressive high-ceilinged space adorned with Far Eastern-style fans and carvings. Canopied booths line one side of the room while dark…
Grassroots Café
93-97 St Georges Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 6JA
With little separating guests from cooks, Grassroots rather resembles a farmhouse kitchen, where the chefs dart back and forth at the range in one corner while aromatic smells drift towards diners. Flagstone floors and wooden furniture add to the rustic…
Tawa & Grill
146-148 Nelson Street, Southside,
Glasgow,
G5 8EJ
Of all boulevards in all the cities, Nelson Street in Glasgow's post-industrial Tradeston district may not come to mind for destination dining options. The avenue's four lanes are commonly packed with west-bound motors and buses heading for an M8 slip…
The Wee Curry Shop
23 Ashton Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
The aptly named Wee Curry Shop, the city centre flagship, offers a memorable dining experience. The aroma from the open-plan kitchen, coupled with the compact dining space, gives the feeling of comfort and familiarity. Service certifies the winning…
North Star
108 Queen Margaret Drive, West End,
Glasgow,
G20 8NZ
Scotland
North Star, inconspicuously lodged in a row of shops on Queen Margaret Drive, does not seem to shine as brightly as its name would suggest, but closer inspection of the interior reveals a different story: the distinctly bohemian space is the perfect…
La Piazzetta
42 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
From the courtyard-style entrance, complete with statue, to the vine-covered trellises inside, La Piazzetta is a welcome, Mediterranean-style sanctuary with friendly service. Owner Phyllis Astarita and her Capri-born husband Costanzo (who is in charge…
Thai Siam
1191 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TQ
Being among the more established of the few dedicated Thai restaurants in Glasgow, Thai Siam has gained a loyal band of regulars for sit-in meals, as well as takeaways. The restaurant itself offers a rather small dining area with a slightly…
The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7AR
Despite the name, this is a family-run business and not part of Harlequin Leisure's Ashoka chain. It was also one of the four establishments to represent Glasgow when the city won the title of curry capital of the UK in 2006. Owner Syrus Bavarsagh takes…
Neelim
1590 Dumbarton Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G14 9DB
Located in a more modest part of the West End, Neelim has become an integral part of the Indian dining scene, managing to lure locals and others willing to travel to Scotstoun for some excellent cooking and low prices. Though the interior is basic, with…
Beanscene
19 Skirving Street Shawlands, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 3AB
Scotland
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Masala Jak's
Unit D2 The Quay, Springfield Quay, Southside,
Glasgow,
G5 8NP
Back in the great American goldrush of 1849, Jagir Singh (AKA Masala Jak), introduced the delights of Indian cuisine to the USA, and a legend was born. Now the Harlequin group has decided to mark his achievement by opening a fresh, fun new curry house…
78 St Vincent
78 St Vincent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 5UB
Classy without being pretentious, welcoming but not obsequious - could the only thing wrong with this place be its rather unimaginative name? Luckily, both the menu (which describes Scottish ingredients with modern twists) and the décor are more…
Spice of Life
1293 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TL
There's no shortage of Indian eateries around the west end of Argyle Street, but Spice of Life certainly means to stand out from the crowd - its shiny white frontage and bright red neon sign make it hard to miss. Inside, too, there's an emphasis on…
Torna Sorrento
148 Woodlands Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 6LF
Following a change of ownership in summer 2006, the homely, family-run style of Torna Sorrento has been dropped in favour of a more contemporary, straightforward approach, with a pared-down menu of Italian classics. Descriptions of dishes are similarly…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
This West End stalwart has long been popular with those looking for something a bit different. While the city offers more in this vein today, the Bay Tree remains a favourite of vegetarians and vegans (it was once completely meat-free). It draws…
Kail Yard Green
599 Dumbarton Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6HY
At one time every croft in Scotland would have its kail yard or vegetable patch - the very name of the restaurant itself hints at a dedication to imaginative Scots cuisine. Stark white painted walls and a fine selection of vivid paintings don't quite…
University Café
87 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 5HN
In a neighbourhood teeming with beloved 'home from home' coffee shops, the grandfather (or godfather) of them all has to be the traditionally Italian University Café. This is the kind of relaxed, mellow operation you get when your family has operated…
Aziza Café Bazaar
407 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HN
In early 2007, tiny Aziza Café Bazaar on Great Western Road moved to more spacious accommodation on the other side of Kelvin Bridge. The additional room allows charming owner Azmina Ali to up the ante on special event nights, which range from guest…
