Ad Lib/Merchant City
33 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
A handsome old fire station on Ingram Street houses the second branch of Ad Lib, which hopes to extend its deluxe-diner appeal to the Merchant City. The original might still be slightly funkier, with its long bar and American-style booths, but the newer…
An Lochan
340 Crow Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT
Enjoy a meal at An Lochan (formerly Café Royale) and you'll not only have chef Claire McKie to thank but also Mary, Shonna, Arthur and Winston. These ladies and gentlemen are responsible for catching, gathering and shooting the scallops, oysters…
Argan Café
1166-1170 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
PLEASE NOTE: THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOW CLOSED
Review written spring 2007.
The décor of Argan Café is airy, reasonably elegant and quietly welcoming: white walls, wooden flooring and the choice of art conspire to create an impression of suave…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
The loft space above one of the jewels in Glasgow's informal eating crown needs little introduction to west coast foodies. Although it's relatively tiny inside, the high, sloped attic ceiling, deep bar and open plan kitchen make it seem more spacious.
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
Bar Soba pulls off the feat of being a stylish city centre bar with the warmth and easy-going attitude of a local. The downstairs restaurant operates during the busier nights of the week and food is served upstairs in the bar at other times. Although…
Battlefield Rest
55 Battlefield Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9JL
The Rest started out life as a busy tram station and, after winning a battle against demolition in the 1990s, was born again as one of the Southside's best-loved Italian restaurants. The busy intersection on which it sits belies a relaxed warmth and…
Big Slope
36a Kelvingrove Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7SA
One of Glasgow's original style bars, Air Organic's space-age interior lost its lunar lustre long before its 2006 closure. In its place, Big Slope has offered a breath of fresh mountain air, taking its name and inspiration from hunting lodges in the…
Blas
1397 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8AN
Blas is the Gaelic word for 'taste', and those who dine here can expect to experience a taste of the varied flavours of Scotland. The restaurant is situated on the edge of Partick, traditionally the Gael ghetto in Glasgow, and the Gaelic tongue can be…
Café Cossachok
Russian Cultural Centre 38 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5QP
Scotland
Forget frugality. Russia - that is 'all the Russias', from the Baltic to the Black Sea - arguably invented global cuisine long before it became fashionable, with culinary influences from fringe Asiatic regions to old Europe joining forces effectively.
Charcoals
26A Renfield Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 LRU
To the uninitiated, Charcoals might possibly be overlooked when considering an Indian meal, as it trades rather inconspicuously on a busy part of Renfield Street. But those in the know can tell you that this restaurant is a top contender when it comes…
Cheese Bar & Deli
61 Otago Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G21 8PQ
Don't be fooled: you do not have to like cheese to enjoy a meal here (although you will be spoiled for choice if you do). The all-day cheese menu is described in mouthwatering language, and the range of cheese boards is widely varied, with tempting…
Chinaski's
239 North Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
An unassuming exterior lacking apparent signage lends Chinaski's a certain immediate hipness. It is inspired in name by barfly/writer Charles Bukowki's alter ego, and there are subtle references to the beat writer, though with no theme-bar triteness…
Chow
98 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
Chow is one of the Byres Road's true success stories. Inside this tiny Chinese bistro, the décor - teak tables in booths - offers an intimacy that is unfussy and welcoming. The often innovative menu allows repeat custom to get more adventurous with each…
Garlic
793 Shettleston Road, Shettleston, East End,
Glasgow,
G32 7NN
The reputation of Garlic's Giovanna Eusebi grows with each passing year. It's remarkable only in that her main platform, Garlic deli, is in the culinary wilds of Shettleston, east of Parkhead. In 2006, she hosted a couple of gourmet meals at the House…
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…
Konaki
920 Sauchiehall Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7TF
A warm glow emanates from Konaki, a neighbourhood and ex-pat-oriented favourite that prides itself on authenticity and quality produce. There's a genuine taverna feel to the interior, which is lined with assorted crockery and aged pictures, while…
The Left Bank
33-35 Gibson Street, West End,
Glasgow,
g12 8nu
The Left Bank, where design chic meets enthusiastic foodies, offers a casually stylish hangout out that's as much a bar as a bistro. It's still hugely busy a year after its arrival in 2006 on the Gibson Street scene, and the atmosphere can at times be…
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…
Mine
158-166 Bath Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4TB
Adjoining Catch 22 [see Fish], this G1 Group bar is a tidily efficient operation, with dutiful service noiselessly shuttling between customers, politely gauging satisfaction. The high-ceilinged interior is elegant yet understated, and a pianist plays…
Moskito
200 Bath Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4HG
Once you've been lured in by the yellow paved stepping stones, it is easy to see why Moskito competes so successfully with the rest of the Bath Steet style bars. The sprawling, warmly-lit interior is comfortable and impeccably well-kept, and sitting…
Mother India's Café
1355 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8AD
In addition to its rather prime location opposite the Kelvingrove Museum and Park, there are two other key factors that explain this venture's unqualified success. It was born out of Mother India (the first restaurant to champion 'home-style…
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…
OKO Express
78 Queen Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3DN
Oko Express aims to be a quick refuelling stop for workers, shoppers and passers-by, hence the addition of 'Express' and relocation from the original Merchant City location. Not that it isn't somewhere to linger over a meal; this is a smaller, cosier…
Salsa
63 Carlton Place, Southside,
Glasgow,
G5 9TW
Slowly, in the candle-lit space, all becomes clear: a sombrero, cowhide patches, earthy walls with photographs of poised Mexicans checking that tortillas are properly folded. This cosy basement venture near the Clyde is an easy walk from the city centre…
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…
