13th Note Café
50-60 King Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5QT
Scotland
Set on arty King Street, this laid-back hang-out has long provided wholesome vegetarian food to hungry indie rock fans - as live sets are played in the basement seven nights a week while hip music is a permanent backdrop in the bar/café. Diners…
Coia's Cafe
473 Duke Street, East End,
Glasgow,
G31 1NG
The word 'café' does not begin to encompass the wonders of Coias, starting with the space-age Italian glass and chrome circular ice-cream fridge. It's the first of its kind in Britain, says owner Alfredo Coia, whose family has occupied this Dennistoun…
Montgomery's Coffee House
9 Radnor Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7UA
The relentless traffic on the busy streets of Argyle and Sauchiehall might distract an unwary passer-by from noticing this whimsically elegant coffee house tucked between these arterial city routes. On the other side of huge double-height windows, a…
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…
Lily's
103 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1DX
Airy, spotless and tastefully garnished with decorations (including real lilies), Lily's fuses upmarket café with contemporary Chinese bistro. It's a genuine one-off, created by owner Lily Sung in an attempt, perhaps, to offer Merchant City folk…
Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
It's not often that one establishment can cater for almost ever occasion, but Bella Napoli gives it a good shot. This family-run Southside favourite is fronted by a colourful, brightly-lit café and delicatessen - the latter selling an array of Italian…
Eat
16 Busby Road, Clarkston, Southside,
Glasgow,
G76 7BG
Locals would be mad to trade the fresh, restaurant-quality ready meals at Eat deli (not to mention the cakes, organic goods, wines and overall ethos) for anything on offer at the new mini-supermarket chain at Clarkston. Anticipating some loss of custom…
Italmania
180-184 Argyle Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 8HA
Taking one corner of Glasgow's busiest crossroad, with competition on all sides from multinational fast food joints, this funky little restaurant offers fresh ingredients in cool surroundings, making it a particularly welcoming spot. Above the entrance…
Moyra Jane's
20 Kildrostan Street, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 4LU
Moyra Jane's, housed in a former bank, has a tea-room style: it has marble-topped tables and wooden chairs, mahogany panelling with art for sale, and a polished counter showcasing indulgent cakes and sticky pastries. The menu serves up an array of…
Tibo Coffee House
443 Duke Street, Dennistoun, East End,
Glasgow,
G31 1RY
Set up in 2006 by a windsurf instructor and a farmer tired of having to trek over to the Merchant City for café culture, Tibo caters for the up-and-coming denizens of Dennistoun. The founders are rather making it up as they go, but, with experienced and…
Café JJ
180 Dumbarton Road, Partick Cross, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6XE
The calm and inviting Cafe JJ has been around for long enough to be secure in its role of delivering good value, wholesome meals without too many frills, though, perhaps with an eye to the competition, smoothies are being added to a menu already full of…
Café Lava
24 St Andrews Street, East End,
Glasgow,
G1 5PD
On the fringes of the Merchant City near the law courts, Café Lava is a stylish alternative to the greasy spoons of Gallowgate: good for meeting friends, perusing the papers and snacking on a sandwich made with bread baked on the premises. With just a…
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…
279 Café Bistro
279 Dumbarton Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6AB
It would be easy to miss 279 Café Bistro among the Partick shops and hairdressers. Inside, the décor is calming and minimalist, with tan leather benches and chunky wooden tables on a Mediterranean stone floor. After café service during the day, from 6pm…
Where the Monkey Sleeps
182 West Regent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4RU
Be prepared to rock all yea who venture into the lower ground floor premises of WTMS. The owners of this singular café primarily came out of the Glasgow School of Art (joining an experienced barista and café manager), and their individualism is stamped…
Café Hula
321 Hope Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Apparently, a common customer observation is that Café Hula feels like it could be in another city entirely - San Francisco or Melbourne, perhaps. Co-owner Hugh McArthur describes the café's atmosphere as 'villagey', which is apt; with a ramshackle…
Kember & Jones
134 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8TD
If you set out to create the epitome of an upscale neighbourhood café, you would hopefully arrive at something like Kember & Jones. Exposed 'Tribeca'-style brick walls, clusters of wooden tables and chairs on an elegant mezzanine, a deli counter crammed…
Tapa Coffee & Bakehouse
21 Whitehill Street, Dennistoun, East End,
Glasgow,
G31 2LH
Set just off Duke Street in Dennistoun, Tapa combines a bakery with a cheerful café serving wholesome, natural food and specially sourced coffees (roasted on site). The bakehouse has built up a reputation for its artisan breads, which include a…
Tchai-Ovna House of Tea
42 Otago Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8PB
There is nothing quite like the Tchai-Ovna House of Tea experience. From the outside, the Otago Lane café looks like a crooked fairytale house perched precariously on the banks of the River Kelvin. Walking inside is like travelling back in time to an…
Trans-Europe Café
25 Parnie Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5RJ
When he is not nipping out for a cigarette or chatting with the clientele, owner Tony Sinclair is gently directing his small staff at this cosy modern café sandwiched among the galleries on Parnie Street. These premises have served as a small licensed…
Amalfi Pizzeria
148 West Nile Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 2RQ
Serving inexpensive Italian classics, this city centre restaurant has an unexpectedly low-key and intimate atmosphere considering its location just off the bustling eastern end of Sauchiehall Street. The menu proudly recalls that the likes of Dean…
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…
