Fifi and Ally
80 Wellington Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6UA
Spawned from the success of the original Princes Square emporium/café, the new Fifi and Ally sits squarely in the city's financial district, so polished even in its early days that it seems to have sprung up fully formed. The design-led monochromatic…

Café Français
4 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5JY
Extravagantly fitted out fin de siècle style, with globe lamps and brass railings aplenty, Café Français exudes an informal class that draws a steady trade, perhaps due to its flexible menu. There's a big selection of crêpes, salads and baguettes and a…

Glasgow,

Coia's Café
473 Duke Street,
Glasgow,
G31 1NG
Coia's has been dishing out Italian favourites, chip shop classics and, of course, its famous home-made ice-cream since it first opened its doors in 1928. Following a 2006 facelift and expansion – which included adding a well-stocked delicatessen…
Amalfi Pizzeria
148 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RQ
What do Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Cary Grant and Errol Flynn all have in common, aside from the obvious? Amalfi Pizzeria. Or more specifically, its glitzier former guise as the Lido Café, which, being situated suitably close to the famous old Glasgow…
Café Sejuiced
77 Hanson Street,
Glasgow,
G31 2HF
In a gloriously airy and open space on the ground floor of the WASPS studio building, in-house artists rub shoulders with workers from local businesses or Royal Infirmary employees over excellent breakfasts, lunches and snacks at this gem of a café. The…
Tapa Coffee & Bakehouse
21 Whitehill Street, Dennistoun,
Glasgow,
G31 2LH
Named after the South Pacific tapa cloth, which is 'hand-made using traditional methods', this artisanal bakery, café and coffee roasterie just off Duke Street in Dennistoun applies the same principles to its food. The ethos is clearly appreciated by a…

182 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RU
At WTMS, street-smart staff behind the counter cheerfully take orders from office-workers, students and the assorted hipsters who descend the steps to this basement café with comfy mismatched sofas. Inked on a giant whiteboard, the epic menu offers a…
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…
The Rio Café
27 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5QF
With its retro stylings and traditional exterior, the Rio – part pub, part café – has a great 1950s vibe. There are leather booths and sleek formica tables, and the menu is printed diner-style on the wall. Its contents range from a selection of cooked…
Booly Mardy's
28 Vinicombe Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8BE
Just off the top end of Byres Road, Booly Mardy's is often overlooked in favour of grander surrounding destinations such as Òran Mór and Gong. Yet it's still popular for its extensive cocktail list – including eight different takes on the drink its name…
Café Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Café Gandolfi is a marvellous antidote to any harshness life throws at you. Its rustic charm and consistently good food has nurtured Glasgow's city dwellers since it opened in 1979, earning owner Seumas MacInnes and his team well-deserved iconic status…

350 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3JD
The Centre for Contemporary Arts, a cultural oasis amid Sauchiehall Street's noisy parade of bars and clubs, is the place to come if you're after a coffee or a meal without selling out to The Man – the café uses fair trade and organic produce wherever…
KG Café
Kelvingrove Park, Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8AG
When the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum reopened in 2006 after extensive refurbishment, much was made of its jumble-sale eclecticism – a mash-up of stuffed animals and Spitfires, weird fossils and Impressionist oils. A place of uniting contrasts…
Tchai-Ovna House of Tea
169 Deanston Drive, Shawlands,
Glasgow,
G41 3LP
Set up 'to offer an alternative to the corporate and clinical bars and cafés found throughout the city', and said to be inspired by Czech tea houses, Tchai-Ovna offers both West Enders and Southsiders affordable vegetarian meals and more than 80…
Tinderbox
14 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1EJ
Appreciating the Tinderbox vision is like being in a successful long-term marriage: it's easy to take for granted yet vital to remember how good it actually is. Celebrating a decade in Byres Road, the original Tinderbox is still a contender for the…
The Waverley Tea Room
18 Moss Side Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3TN
This Shawlands favourite, situated near Queen's Park, rather belies its name. With bare stone walls and multiple bins of bottles, its style is more like that of a glitzy wine cellar than a genteel tea room. Which isn't to say it's inadequately…
Bacco Italia
67–69 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
Anyone wondering why Italian restaurants have such a special place in the hearts of Scots in general and Glaswegians in particular should visit Bacco Italia. The designer décor and concept of this 'style wine bar/restaurant' illustrate the intentions of…
Café Antipasti
337 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8UQ
Between the fairy lights and rustic pine tables and fittings, you might be surprised on first impressions to learn that Café Antipasti on Byres Road (not to be confused with the branch on Sauchiehall Street, which has different owners) is an Italian…
Acanthus
1032 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8LX
Until early in 2008 Acanthus was part flower shop, part café. But it is now under different ownership and the blooms have gone, allowing the new management to expand the café's once restricted seating area. Situated on a busy stretch of Argyle Street…
Enjoy
393–395 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
The pavements of the Great Western Road see more striders than strollers. So competing cafés often need something extra to get bums on seats. For Enjoy, the selling point is the real food ethos of its Kosovan owners, Sebo and Manuella Brestovca. There…
GSC Café
50 Pacific Quay,
Glasgow,
G51 1EA
Seemingly lifting itself out of the Clyde like a great silver-scaled beast, Glasgow Science Centre is a child's wonderland of levers and buttons and things that whirr and ping. The near-constant clatter and wail of kids learning and having fun can make…
Montgomery's Coffee House
9 Radnor Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7UA
Montgomery's, which sits thinly between a pub and a GP's surgery, is easily missed, but once you're inside, you'll find the interior opens to an unexpected and calming sense of space. A world map hangs on the corniced ceiling and local artists exhibit…
Tchai-Ovna House of Tea
42 Otago Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8PB
Set up 'to offer an alternative to the corporate and clinical bars and cafés found throughout the city', and said to be inspired by Czech tea houses, Tchai-Ovna offers both West Enders and Southsiders affordable vegetarian meals and more than 80…
Tinderbox
189 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8SN
Appreciating the Tinderbox vision is like being in a successful long-term marriage: it's easy to take for granted yet vital to remember how good it actually is. Celebrating a decade in Byres Road, the original Tinderbox is still a contender for the…
Art Lover's Café
House for an Art Lover, Bellahouston Park, 10 Dumbreck Road,
Glasgow,
G41 5BW
House for an Art Lover is a grand-scale realisation of a Charles Rennie Mackintosh design, built to amended plans in the 1990s and set in the busiest and prettiest corner of Bellahouston Park. There's a beautifully maintained walled garden, some dry ski…
Brooklyn Café
21 Minard Road,
Glasgow,
G41 2HR
The Brooklyn Café first opened in 1931 and its award-winning ice-cream has made it something of a Southside institution. Ask a member of staff and watch them become positively dewy-eyed about their main attraction. Ice-cream sundaes at Brooklyn are a…
The Kitchen Restaurant
Pollok House, Pollok Estate, 2060 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G43 1AT
Set in the magnificent Pollok Country Park, Pollok House – an elegant 18th century country mansion beautifully maintained by the National Trust for Scotland – seems a world away from the city that surrounds it. There's an Upstairs Downstairs quality to…
Papa Gill's
337 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6AL
The Partick flagship of this modest Indian diner-café is something of a local institution, serving everything from filled rolls before noon to late-night curries, with a selection of burgers and other takeaway fare in between. Prices are reasonable. A…
University Café
87 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5HN
Visiting the University Café is like free-falling back to childhood seaside holidays, where the whole experience is simultaneously comforting and exotic. Dark wooden panelling and flock wallpaper surround the pink formica tables and red vinyl seats. A…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
The long-established Bay Tree likes to keep things fairly simple, with its unassuming layout and Middle Eastern knick-knacks around the walls. The same goes for its menu, which comprises a mixture of Arabian, Mediterranean and European dishes at…
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…
Cabbages & Kings
5 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5RD
Cabbages & Kings is one of the newest additions to Byres Road. The décor is monochrome, and – with the exception of one striking black and white image – its walls are unadorned (at least when we visited in its early days). In contrast to the minimalism…
Café Cherubini
360 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HT
From the outside, Café Cherubini resembles a local café from a European indie film in which bookish characters sip coffee in the windows, framed by gold lettering and drawings of chubby angels. Inside, the couple in charge are wholly genuine with an air…
Café Cosmo
Glasgow Film Theatre, 12 Rose Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6RB
The Glasgow Film Theatre's open-minded programming has broadened over the years to include almost every genre that a family film theatre might reasonably be expected to cater for. European cinema is well represented, and numerous retrospectives and…
Café Gramofon
7 King Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5QZ
Now run by the people behind the ever-popular Café Hula, Gramofon still bears the name it was given by the previous Russian owners but little else remains the same. Local art decorates the white-washed walls, there are entertainment nights in the…
Café JJ
180 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6XE
Behind its sage-green exterior, Café JJ's good-natured and efficient staff are usually busy serving students, hospital workers, teachers and Partick ladies generous portions of full-flavoured, wholesome food. A starter of home-made Scotch broth has a…
The Doocot Café and Bar
The Lighthouse, 11 Mitchell Lane,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
As you might expect from The Lighthouse, Scotland's centre for architecture and design, there's a breezy sophistication to be found in its stylish café bar. The Doocot is a bright, almost dazzling space, even on the dullest days, with prints of clouds…
Go Slow Café
452 Victoria Road,
Glasgow,
G42 8YU
Tucked between an amusement arcade and an optician, the Go Slow Café provides a peaceful oasis among the hurly-burly of Victoria Road. Ochre walls, day-glo artwork and a bulletin board (which wouldn't look out of place in a backpackers' hostel) help to…
Lily's
103 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DX
On first impressions, Lily's may seem somewhat stark – white tiled floor, pale walls and giant windows – but a warm welcome awaits guests at this busy Merchant City café/diner. The menu covers a selection of sandwiches, toasties and burgers, but what…
Trans-Europe Café
25 Parnie Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5RJ
The décor of this café feels inspired by Kraftwerk's stylish aesthetic. Bauhaus pendant lamps shine on subtle taupe walls. Cream window blinds with mono-print drawings of the Trans-European Express may intrigue browsers in nearby art and curio shops.
Arcaffe
7 North Claremont Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7NR
Arcaffe is an unassuming place that might be mistaken for a coffee shop or sandwich takeaway due to its exterior décor. Under new ownership since 2007, it has a slight 'in transition' feel about it, and as this guide went to press there were plans to…
Beanscene
1365 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8AF
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…
Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
At this Southside favourite, a delicatessen, café and fine dining-style restaurant are all housed under the same roof. The casual diner up front contains a busy collection of tables where sandwiches, pasta and sizeable pizzas are served through the day.
Bistro Saint Germain
71 Nithsdale Street,
Glasgow,
G41 2PY
This entirely French-run operation – featuring a deli packed with cheeses, pâtés and wines as well as a dinner menu of honest, home-made food – stakes a good claim to being the most Gallic few square metres of Glasgow. While some stereotypes are…
Café Hula
321 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Café Hula has a bohemian air about it – wooden wall sconces hold flickering votive candles, and trailing pot plants hang at angles around huge, uneven-edged wooden tables, all watched over by an imposing statue of a skeletal, bible-clutching preacher.
Café Wander
110a West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1QJ
In 2005 two friends decided to open a café together and, given their shared passion for travelling, the café's nomadic theme was a given. The result of their collaboration was Café Wander and their success led them to open a second, smaller branch on…
Grassroots Café
93–97 St Georges Road,
Glasgow,
G3 6JA
This café/restaurant is worth a small diversion off the well-beaten track of Woodlands Road; its creative menu (with blackboard specials, too) and relaxed atmosphere are of a higher calibre than the usual vegetarian operation. Purple curtains divide…
Mise en Place
122–124 Nithsdale Road,
Glasgow,
G41 5RB
By day a very good deli and café, by night (four times a week, that is) a delightful bistro, Mise en Place is one reason why Southsiders don't need to rely on the transport infrastructure to maintain a good quality of life. Clean white lines and…
Remedy Delicatessen & Café
729–731 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G41 2AA
Since it opened in 2005, Remedy has gained a loyal following among Southsiders. Wooden floors and tables, pale green walls and handsome cornicing make for simple but pleasant décor, while exceptionally friendly staff and light jazz help create a relaxed…
Salle à Manger
21 Bath Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1HW
The soundtrack of Beatles hits perhaps hints that this busy refuelling stop for city centre employees and passing shoppers is not going to throw up many surprises. The décor of dark wood and slate is barely visible at midday, when the crush of punters…
279 Café Bistro
279 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6AB
During the day, this café offers a selection of reasonably priced ciabattas, sandwiches and home-made pizzas. By night, it turns itself into an elegant bistro offering an equally well-priced but inventive menu. The garlic bruschetta topped with an…
Vienna Café
59 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PS
Hyndland Street is an up-and-coming area for fresh and interesting flavours, with a cluster of delicatessens and cafés anchored around a bi-monthly farmers' market. Vienna, from the team behind the neighbouring Polish Taste deli, provided further…

Cherrybean
561 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6HU
Comfy sofas, cheerful vintage-chic décor and a relaxed ambience help make Cherrybean a great spot to while away the time with a coffee or rose tea and one or two magazines from the large stack that sits on the counter. Or you could surf the web as…
Ikafe
138 Nithsdale Road,
Glasgow,
G41 5RB
Pollokshields' Ikafe has remained a popular local eatery since it first opened in 1999. Wooden floors, exposed brickwork and white walls dotted with bold prints combine to create a simple and stylish venue. Lunchtimes are busy, so booking is advisable…
Juiceling
3 Gordon Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3PL
Eager to keep queues moving, the funky Juiceling girls lean across the counter as customers shout orders above rasping blenders. The shop in the heart of Glasgow is dominated by bright menu boards, offering smoothies and juices in many freshly squeezed…
Morton's Coffee House
215 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8UD
Morton's Coffee House is a curious paradox. Its identity is surefooted in the food department but some may find that it gets a bit lost in overall presentation. Though recently redecorated, the café still has the metal chairs and ocean blue walls of the…
Naked Soup
6 Kersland Street,
Glasgow,
G12 6BL
Looking for quick, good value meal? Head for Naked Soup. As the name would suggest, soup is the speciality, with a daily choice of four excellent home-made varieties. The lentil and coconut is thick and creamy with a little hint of spiciness, while the…
Offshore
3/5 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NU
The glorious tall windows that overlook Kelvingrove Park are one of this café's biggest assets. The sun practically floats above the green treetops in summer; in winter Offshore's silver pendant lamps glow invitingly above the velvet-cushioned window…
Sonny & Vito's
52 Park Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9JG
According to the blackboard in Sonny & Vito's deli/café, the cakes are 'baked with love, right here every day'. A playfulness and attention to detail are evident throughout the whole enterprise. Owner Mario Pelosi and his partner Angela Mullen, who…
Stereo
20–28 Renfield Lane,
Glasgow,
G2 5AR
Stereo's move from the West End to this Mackintosh-designed listed building down an alleyway in the centre of town has not only given the venture a 300-person capacity live music and club space in the basement. It has also allowed for the creation of a…
Tramway Café Bar
25 Albert Drive,
Glasgow,
G41 2PE
At the time of going to press, the Tramway Café Bar was refining some final details before unveiling a new menu and a new look in April. Its menu of healthy, hearty food – which includes a popular vegetarian breakfast – is set to become, if anything…
TriBeCa
102 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
As it's named after an area in lower Manhattan (the abbreviation of 'triangle below Canal' Street), this cafe's menu is largely inspired by American diner fare. Eggs are certainly something of a speciality. There are six variations on the Benedict theme…
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…
Berits & Brown
6 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
EG1 1SS
Berits & Brown is a chic, bustling New York-style deli-café where chefs work busily behind a glass-fronted counter, which displays the ingredients that make up a simple menu enlivened by numerous inventive twists. A smoked salmon salad, for instance, is…
Boaters Café
Rouken Glen Park,
Glasgow,
Boaters Café is well known to the residents of Giffnock and Newton Mearns but less so to those outside Glasgow's southern suburbs. Situated by the boating pond at the edge of the rolling green expanses of Rouken Glen Park, it's an especially popular…
Bolshie
57 Bank Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NF
With its lipstick-red exterior, Bolshie sits on a residential street near Glasgow University. Inside, it could just about be the hip tenement living room of an art and design student. Paper lampshades, pop art and patterned lino suggest an affection for…
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…
Café Wander
229 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3EX
In 2005 two friends decided to open a café together and, given their shared passion for travelling, the café's nomadic theme was a given. The result of their collaboration was Café Wander and their success led them to open a second, smaller branch on…
Chapter One Coffee House
75 Lauderdale Gardens,
Glasgow,
G12 9QU
Chapter One's glass front window is half clear, half frosted, and from across the street the café could be mistaken for a design firm's office. The white walls and boxy space bring to mind cafés from Australian soaps, where locals linger as part of…
Grianach
38 Nithsdale Road, Strathbungo,
Glasgow,
G41 2AN
Grianach means 'sunny' in Gaelic and the theme carries through this neighbourhood café, from the seasonal affective disorder light therapy boxes on each table to the summery pop on the stereo. The menu offers soups, sandwiches, baked potatoes, salads…

Glasgow,
G12 8AR
Since opening seven years ago, this shop has become a food lover's Mecca, complete with impressive assistants who truly know their stuff. Office workers looking to find their evening's sustenance flock to the deli counter, which holds the day's…
Kember & Jones
134 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TD
Everything about Kember & Jones speaks of quality: pale wood cabinets laden with fine continental delicacies, huge terracotta bowls of olives beside organic artisan breads and a table of hip cookbooks that invites browsing while you wait. And wait you…
Miss Cranston's Tearoom
33 Gordon Street,
Glasgow,
G1 4PF
Perhaps it is unfair to judge Miss Cranston's Tearoom on a wet midweek afternoon, when the manager has been on leave and the café feels rather like an empty hotel dining room. This is an old-style Glasgow caff, whose largely unchanging formula has led…
Moyra Jane's
20 Kildrostan Street,
Glasgow,
G41 4LU
Moyra Jane's has been a popular Southside venue for some time now and it is easy to see why. With its wood panelling and marble-topped tables, it has the charm of a genteel tea-room from another era. Staff are polite and smart in their long, white…

16 Cresswell Lane, West End,
Glasgow,

51–52 Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Spawned from the success of the original Princes Square emporium/café, the new Fifi and Ally sits squarely in the city's financial district, so polished even in its early days that it seems to have sprung up fully formed. The design-led monochromatic…
Fressh
51-53 Cochrane Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1HL
Fressh is just full of exclamation marks: bright orange menus on the walls veritably burst with excitable blends of juices, designed to revitalise the office workers of the city. The pared-down monochrome décor with white-painted floor is rather cool…
Heart Buchanan
380 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8AR
It could be the location in the heart of the West End or the heart and soul that goes into the food produced in Fiona Buchanan's bustling deli-café that gave rise to the name for this gastronomic emporium. The interior has a rustic authenticity, with…
Herald Café Bar
Mitchell Library, North Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7DN
The first phase of Mitchell Library redevelopment has introduced 'Leisure and Lifestyle at the Mitchell'. Included in that is a lending library to complement the long-time non-circulating collection. As well, a smart, open and airy café bar has been…

North Star
108 Queen Margaret Drive,
Glasgow,
G20 8NZ

Willow Tea Rooms
217 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3EX
For the many thousands of visitors making the Mackintosh pilgrimage each year, the Willow Tea Rooms is a mandatory stop. The Sauchiehall Street premises boast the original glasswork and mirrors in its pink and grey Room de Luxe, while the Buchanan…
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…
Eat
16 Busby Road, Clarkston,
Glasgow,
G76 7BG
Eat is exactly what this deli/café in Clarkston encourages one to do. Freshly prepared, restaurant-standard ready meals fill the counter. Typically, you might find a frittata with spinach and olives or Serrano ham-wrapped chicken breast with roast…
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…
