Tapa Bakehouse
21 Whitehill Street, Dennistoun,
Glasgow,
G31 2LH
Tapa is essentially a functioning bakery with a front of shop area for takeaway or sit-in sampling. Practically everything for sale in the cafe is made there. A wide range of organic loaves, savoury brioche, pastries, bagels, foccacia and unctuous…
Coia's Café
473–477 Duke Street,
Glasgow,
G31 1RD
An institution in the heart of the East End since 1928, Coia's Café is run by third generation Scots-Italian Alfredo Coia, easily identifiable by his smart braces. Coia's is one of only three licensed eateries on the Duke Street strip – and rarely…
Tibo
443 Duke Street, Dennistoun,
Glasgow,
G31 1RY
As the paper lanterns bob gently in the breeze from the ceiling fans and soulful tunes play, you enter a spiritual oasis on Duke Street at Tibo. Everything about the place is calming. Angus MacLeod at the helm likes to keep things this way. Dishes are…
Fit Food Bistro
Tiso Glasgow Outdoor Experience, 50 Coupar Street,
Glasgow,
G4 0DL
A pleasing antidote to the chips-with-everything culture, Fit Food prides itself, as the name suggests, in offering wholesome sandwiches, light meals and snacks. Which is perhaps no more than you would expect, located as it is in Tiso’s outdoor activity…
Café Source
1 St Andrew's Square,
Glasgow,
G1 5PP
This large space beneath the St Andrew’s In The Square church has been sensitively designed to accommodate quiet meals in the leather booths while catering comfortably for families and large parties. Black and white photographs of musicians are a nod to…
Lily's
103 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DX
Tucked away in Merchant City, Lily’s may look like your average café from the outside but the menu tells a different story. Successfully combining paninis, burgers and baked potatoes with Chinese dishes, the noodle soup sprinkled with roast sesame seeds…
Trans-Europe Café
25 Parnie Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5RJ
The retro Trans-Europe Café, fitted out with bus seats, board games and roadmaps, may be playful in appearance but it is very serious about the food served up. On the menu are imaginative dishes brought in by former Ubiquitous Chip chef Andy Stewart…
Berits & Brown
6 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1SS
In the heart of the merchant City, which is particularly good looking at night these days, Berits and Brown offers a small taste of a New York style neighbourhood diner. It is a big draw for wine buffs – any bottle on sale in the off license can be…
Cranberry's
30 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1SS
One of the best things about whiling away an afternoon in Cranberry’s is that its huge, clean, picture windows mean that it’s a great place to admire some of the highlights of the Merchant City’s architecture. But there are other good things as well…
Tinderbox
118 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1EJ
Tinderbox’s original Byres Road coffeshop café opened in 1998 but the interior still feels contemporary and enticing. No food is prepared on the premises though, with savoury options being either pre-prepared sandwiches or salad/noodle bowls. It’s an…
Peckham's
61–65 Glassford Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1UB
Peckham’s was once the go-to Merchant City deli, packed with pâtés, Scottish fruit cordials, olive oils and as fine a selection of wines as you could find in Glasgow. But it has suffered in recent years – and many competitors have stepped into the…
Fressh
51-53 Cochrane Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1HL
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…
Bread and Butter
74 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
Ducking down the fairylight-festooned alley off Buchanan Street that leads to Bread and Butter makes you feel like a real in-the-know local. By night, it's a chill-out zone for the nightclub downstairs, but by day it's the place to hit for a nourishing…
November
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JX
Situated right at the top of Princes Square, November is a light, airy cocktail bar and café which offers seating 'outside' on the balcony, looking down to the shops below, or under the interior's cupola. It offers a variety of dishes to tempt wearied…
Café Wander
110a West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1QJ
First of all, it'd be easily done, but a shame to wander past Café Wander's City Centre venue, situated as it is below street level. This basement cosiness, combined with friendly staff, give it a happy and relaxed vibe that's quite unique. The hearty…
Café Osa
213 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2UW
This semi-subterranean family-run café is proving a worthwhile destination for nearby workers and shoppers coming in for a variety of sandwiches, paninis, soups and fajita wraps, plus more hearty offerings of burgers, several classic pasta dishes and…
Gizzi's
87 Cambridge Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6RU
Previously known as Bistro du Sud but renovated and renamed Gizzi's in 2007, this bistro has a small, unassuming exterior and, inside, may be mistaken for a café with limited seating. There is more space upstairs, and the place would no doubt be full…
Taste
240 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3EQ
Former Nobu and Ivy sous-chef Nick MacIntyre has got big plans for his sandwich bar and al fresco café on Sauchiehall Street's pedestrianised stretch. Not that it particularly needs changing. Since opening in 2011 people have been flocking here like the…
Where the Monkey Sleeps
182 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RU
Rockin' basement rebel WTMS can no longer be filed under 'hidden gem'. Now that it has celebrated its first decade, it can proudly flaunt its establishment credentials. And well-deserved too. Choices range from healthy fruit smoothies (or the more…
Bagel Mania
338 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3JD
For bagel fans this small café is the holy of holies, offering an array of flavoured bagels and enticing fillings with a heavy US accent. Things start early with all-day morning bagels featuring smoked salmon, eggs, bacon and such like. The main menu…
Saramago Café Bar
CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3JD
Occupying a light, airy atrium in the heart of the CCA, Saramago draws a bohemian crowd – you’re more likely to find an up-and-coming conceptual artist or filmmaker at the next table than a weary Sauchiehall Street shopper. The menu is a tour of mostly…
Mimi's Kitchen
93–97 St George's Road,
Glasgow,
G3 6JA
Mimi’s Kitchen is a popular Charing Cross spot for breakfast, lunches and takeaways for office workers, students and shoppers alike. Named after Scots-Italian owner Franca Collins’s grandmother – plus her dog and daughter too – it’s spacious, bright and…
Beanscene
40-42 Woodlands Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 6UR
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…
Herald Café Bar
Mitchell Library, North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DN
The creation of the Herald Café Bar formed part of the re-development of the Mitchell Library in 2007. Planned as a meeting hub for students, local business people and visitors to library events, the design makes use of the glass frontage to create a…
Café La Padella
124 Woodlands Road,
Glasgow,
G3 6HB
A bright turquoise exterior is the first clue that Café La Padella is definitely not another corporate café. Idiosyncratic is the word that best describes this Mediterranean/Middle Eastern eatery, exemplifying, as it does, an 'original mix of…
