Ad Lib
33 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
Alla Turca
192 Pitt Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4DY
This ambitious newcomer, from Òran Mór's former brasserie manager Burak Soyusinmez, has an agenda: to show that there's a lot more to Turkish cuisine than dodgy post-pub kebabs. And so Alla Turca's menu is one of two halves, with traditional dishes on…
Amber Regent
50 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2QZ
From the classily understated sign in the window to the photos of celebrity customers at the entrance, and from the thick drapery that flanks paintings by a local artist to the cute little thistles that garnish each table, it's clear that Amber Regent…
L'Ariosto
92–94 Mitchell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3NQ
Named after the Renaissance bard, L'Ariosto has many surprises. Designed to resemble an Italian courtyard and exuding a cosy atmosphere, it still has room to put on dinner dances with a live band five nights a week. It's almost 40 years old, but there's…
Arisaig
140 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5LA
Co-owners Naveed Rashid and Stephen Bonomi have a passion for quality Scottish produce that makes dining at Arisaig a thoroughly satisfying experience. In this attractive dining room, large, almost abstract paintings of foaming oceans and crashing waves…
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…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Housed in the loft above the much-loved Café Gandolfi, this warm, tiny bar eschews the cuisine and décor of its older sibling in favour of an identity all of its own. Quirky wooden furniture, steel beams and candlelight reflecting off battered cream…
Bar 91
91 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
The refurbished Bar 91 has retained its aloof smartness and lack of pretention, with new chunky tables, dark red and oyster walls and a refitted bar stocking beers by West Brewing Company. Light and airy, it has a steady office lunchtime trade that…
Barça Tapas and Cava Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
The flexible tapas format is ideal for Barça's location on the top floor of Princes Square, where a quick, restorative bite and a glass of decent wine can fit into the most demanding shopping or social schedule. Barça delivers the goods with excellent…
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…
Bibi's Cantina
599 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6HY
Bibi's Cantina is a recent but welcome arrival on the restaurant scene. It's like stepping into someone's living room – you'll find it has a welcoming and homely vibe with subtle touches of Latin American design in the décor. A few kitsch Mexican…
Bistro at One Devonshire Gardens
1 Devonshire Gardens,
Glasgow,
G12 OUX
Maintaining a relaxed air of elegance and sophistication without straying too far into the realms of elitism or pretentiousness, One Devonshire Gardens remains an address of note for the Glasgow gourmet. The 'simple classics' menu showcases the best of…
Bon Appétit
1150 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
It may appear inconspicuous from the slightly run-of-the-mill exterior, but the food within Bon Appétit is something of note. In the open-plan kitchen, unfazed chefs stir curries bubbling in pans, turn meat sizzling on the char-grill and move steaming…
The Brasserie at the Chip
12 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 82J
Formerly known as Upstairs at the Chip, the Brasserie at the Chip offers the mid-range dining experience at this legendary Glasgow establishment (the bar/pub serves lighter snacks while the famous restaurant offers the formal and pricey à la carte…
The Brasserie at The Menzies Glasgow Hotel
27 Washington Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8AZ
It's hard to imagine how you might stumble across the Menzies hotel while searching for fine dining. Set in a rather unpromising post-industrial landscape at the edge of the city centre, it's an oddly unplaceable building – you could be essentially…
Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RL
It's seven years since Brian Maule moved back to his native Scotland to develop his philosophy of bold, classic cuisine (initially nurtured by the brothers Roux in London). In this time, Chardon d'Or has become one of Glasgow's few destination…
The Butterfly and the Pig
153 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4SQ
Going for a meal at The Butterfly and the Pig is something of an Alice in Wonderland experience. Beyond its unprepossessing basement entrance, the bar is decorated like the Mad Hatter's front room, with chintz sofas, doilies and Welsh dressers bursting…
Café Cossachok
38 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Cossachok successfully embraces multiple identities: it's part gallery, part cultural centre and part music venue, yet still essentially a restaurant. Temporarily relocated until 2009 (while their ten-year home on the other side of the Trongate is…
Café Salma
523 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7PQ
Since opening in 2007, the charming and informal Café Salma has quickly gained a loyal custom – and a reputation that belies its youth. The bright interior's idiosyncratic décor, wall-mounted television and busy open kitchen give the place an authentic…
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…
Cherry & Heather Fine Food
7 North Gower Street,
Glasgow,
G51 1PW
Starting with a menu that kicks off with a home-made vegetarian sushi box (£1.95), it's immediately apparent that Cherry & Heather is not your typical takeaway. This exemplary bolt-hole in Cessnock (just off Paisley Road West, next to Bellahouston post…
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…
Chinaski's
239 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
The almost anonymous exterior and dimly lit, stylish interior makes Chinaski's a secret and sophisticated haven from the city rush, epitomised by the sunken M8 across the road. Even if you have never heard of Henry Chinaski, the relaxed approach of bar…
City Merchant
97–99 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
Celebrating its 20th birthday this year, the City Merchant restaurant offers its loyal clientele an extensive menu showcasing the very best of Scottish produce. Fresh lobster, oysters, platters of shellfish, venison served rare with rowan jelly, and…
Cottier's
93–95 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PX
Nestled in the eaves of one wing of an old church that also houses a theatre and bar is Cottier's restaurant. Decorated in gold and blue and lit with fairy lights, the dining room can feel like one of Glasgow's more romantic settings. The food is…
Dakhin
89 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
With its discrete entrance and first-floor location, Dakhin could easily be missed among the plethora of busy restaurants and bars in Candleriggs. Those who are curious – or cunning – enough to venture upstairs, however, will be welcomed into an…
Delizique
70–72 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PT
No longer just a deli, the gleaming new premises of Delizique now include an in-store bakery, which emits that distinctive, delicious smell. The takeaway food can include dishes such as a puy lentil and oak barrel-aged feta salad, which balances soft…
The Dhabba
44 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LE
This Merchant City establishment continues to consolidate its place among the best Indian restaurants in Glasgow. The open, airy venue is sleek and modern with bare wooden furnishings and minimal decorative embellishments, which encourages diners to pay…
Dragon-i
311–313 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Since opening opposite the Theatre Royal in 2003, Dragon-i has sat at the top table of Glasgow's Chinese restaurants, and owners Raymond and Susie Man are proud that their venture attempts something markedly different. With the décor, they've opted for…
Esca
27 Chisholm Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5HA
Offering classic Mediterranean dining with a stylish Merchant City twist, Esca is a cut above your average Glasgow Italian restaurant. Recently refurbished, it is subtly smart: red and pale blue chairs, grey ceiling-to-floor curtains, wood tables and…
Eusebi Deli
793 Shettleston Road,
Glasgow,
G32 7NN
Formerly called Garlic, Eusebi Deli continues the tradition of a classic Italian delicatessen, updated with the contemporary cooking associated with today's modern fine food outlets. There is the stock in trade of various imported salami, hams and…
Fanny Trollopes
1066 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8LY
The narrow dining room here has only a handful of tables, and the feeling is genuinely relaxed and warm. As you browse through the menu, staff may offer to tell you the story of Fanny – or perhaps discuss the eclectic range of art and ceramics that…
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…
Gamba
225a West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2ND
Gamba celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2008, and one would be hard-pressed to name a more consistently excellent, top-end restaurant in Glasgow over the same time period. It's not only that chef and co-owner Derek Marshall doesn't ever settle for…
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…
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…
The Green Room
Royal Concert Hall, 2 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3NY
The Green Room is a bit like a rare exotic bird: dazzling and memorably beautiful when it appears, but blink and you miss it. This is because the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall's fine dining restaurant is only open before evening shows and matinées.
Heart Buchanan
380 Byres Road,
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…
Italian Caffè
92 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Styled on the Italian enoteca, literally meaning 'wine library', this recent Merchant City arrival knows its Chianti from its Montepulciano. With 24 labels by the glass and double that number by the bottle, it may be easy to overlook the tapas-style…
Kebabish
323–325 Victoria Road,
Glasgow,
G42 7SA
While no longer a part of the Kebabish Original chain, this Govanhill eatery continues to lure customers with its flame-filled open kitchen, contemporary interior and tremendous value for money. Above all, it still delivers on its promise of 'the thrill…
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…
Kokuryo
1138 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TD
When faced with handfuls of fresh chillies alongside dried chilli peppers in what seems like a never-ending bowl of beef soup (a starter so intense, it might take until dessert time to finish), it's clear that the chef isn't holding anything back.
Konaki
920 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7TF
Family is important at Konaki. The kitchen uses home-grown olive oil matured in Grandma's cellar, wild herbs gathered on island holidays and recipes handed down through generations. Front of house, children receive an indulgent welcome, the whole…
KoolBa
109 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
Situated directly across from the smartly refurbished City Halls, the Persian enclave of KoolBa allows diners widescreen views of bustling Candleriggs. With lush fabric drapes and authentic hand-woven Iranian carpets adorning exposed sandstone walls…
La Lanterna
35 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6AE
For almost four decades, the Martinolli family have been serving up traditional Italian cuisine in their attractive, cavernous restaurant beneath the otherwise unedifying, traffic-choking Hope Street. The décor has remained almost untouched – a warm…
Lebowskis
1008 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8LX
Formerly Elbow Room, this bar underwent a change of ownership and a slick makeover in late 2007, reopening as a venue that stands to further the culinary kudos of long-overlooked Finnieston. Lebowski's is a gentrified haven from its still rather gritty…
The Liquid Ship
171 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9AW
With its dark wood, whitewashed brick walls and quirky array of clocks, posters and nautical paraphernalia, The Liquid Ship is a laid back location in which to drink and dine. The menu, though compact, is dominated by well-sourced ingredients and…
Lux
1051 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 0XP
Housed in a beautiful former Victorian railway station and sitting above its less formal sister venue Stazione (see Italian), Lux offers an elegant dining experience on the fringes of the West End, with white tablecloths and soft candle-light lending…
MacSorley's Music Bar
42 Jamaica Street,
Glasgow,
G1 4QG
With its traditional frontage and classic burgundy and dark-wood interior, MacSorley's appears to be a typical old-style boozer – but the ambient funk soundtrack and framed posters and photographs of music icons gradually betray its true role as the Sub…
Mancini
315–317 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HR
Located closer to the St George's Cross end of Great Western Road, Mancini is a bit away from the hub of the West End. This intimate place feels a little like a well-lit wine cellar with bare brick walls (hung in places with fairly lights), leather…
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…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
Style and elegance radiate throughout this justifiably renowned restaurant, from the small bistro-style area on the ground floor to the more formal room upstairs, with its comfortably used wooden tables, subdued lighting and wood panelling. It is a…
Mother India's Cellar
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
Tucked below street level down a spiral staircase from the main Mother India foyer is Mother India's Cellar. It's decorated in the style of a hip and trendy wine bar with clean white walls, semi-open kitchen and exposed masonry, and the atmosphere still…
Mussel Inn
157 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2UQ
Owned by shellfish farmers, the Mussel Inn presents a range of basic mussel and scallop dishes, and it is distinctly possible that the key ingredients of your meal were harvested only hours earlier. While there is a daily finned fish special (on this…
Mzouda
141 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7AW
This small, welcoming restaurant, tucked away near Charing Cross, mixes the Moroccan traditions of chef/owner Hamid Benhach's childhood with Spanish and Catalan recipes he picked up while working in Barcelona. It's an appealing cultural blend of…
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…
Nanakusa
441 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
Before Nanakusa opened in November 2007, manager David Wan flew to the Far East to see exactly what made an authentic Japanese restaurant. Wan adored the teppanyaki, tempura and yakitori joints he stumbled upon, although nowhere could he find all the…
Nerala
623 Cathcart Road,
Glasgow,
G42 8AE
Nerala offers a good selection of pizzas, burgers and kebabs. But the real reason to seek out this Govanhill takeaway is the authentic – and great value – northwest Indian food. Dishes range from the familiar (dansak, korma, rogan josh) to rarely…
La Parmigiana
447 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8HH
The longevity of La Parmigiana, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2008, is attributable to its doing a number of things very well and one or two superbly. The petite dining room exudes refinement, with pristine table linen offset by vibrant red…
Piccolo Mondo
344 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8LY
Piccolo Mondo (meaning 'small world') is the reincarnation of a once award-winning Renfrew restaurant of the same name, opened in 1974 by Tony and Giuliana Pierotti. After selling up in 1989, the couple missed the place so much that they opted to give…
Pintxo
562 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6RH
The Basque word pintxo (pronounced 'pincho') refers to the bite-sized snacks Spaniards typically consume during leisurely bar crawls. Here in less-than-sunny Partick, you can enjoy just such a little mouthful for £1 at the bar, but with nowhere similar…
The Pipers' Tryst
30–34 McPhater Street,
Glasgow,
G4 0HW
Scottish traditional music may be a taste not easily acquired in a single sitting, but if anywhere can convert you to bagpipes and fiddles, The Pipers' Tryst could be the place. It should certainly convince any remaining sceptics of the glories of…
Roastit Bubbly Jocks
450 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6SE
Amidst the charity shops at the long end of Dumbarton Road, Roastit Bubbly Jocks might seem out of the way. For many, however, it's a well-loved dining institution. The emphasis is on the food and atmosphere: it's bustling, loud and warm – the way any…
Salsa
63 Carlton Place,
Glasgow,
G5 9TW
Technically on the Southside, Salsa is just a pleasant five-minute walk from the city centre via the Clyde's suspension pedestrian bridge. The discreet location suits the ambience of the restaurant, which is refreshingly unlike most Mexican-themed…
The Sisters
1a Ashwood Gardens, 512 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G13 1NU
Since moving from Ashton Lane to Jordanhill a few years back, the Sisters restaurant has become regarded as one of the better options in Glasgow. But its location off the beaten track made it one of the trickiest to find (though once you've been, it is…
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…
Stravaigin
28–30 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX
With more foodies demanding the best of world flavours without the carbon footprint to match, never has Stravaigin's motto 'think global, eat local' been more appropriate. The ever-evolving menu ticks all the latest food fashion boxes, and features…
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…
Thai Lemongrass
24 Renfrew Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3BW
Thai Lemongrass exudes an almost spa-like calm. Ceiling fans rotate hypnotically, ushering a cool breeze along cushioned booths; meditative lights shine through intricate wood carvings. Staff are genteel, making you feel pampered as they explain the…
Thai Siam
1191 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TQ
Banquette seating, carefully folded napkins and elevator music suggest that this neighbourhood restaurant is not about to give in to pressures to follow the latest fashions. Instead, there is a quiet confidence derived from the proficiency of its…
Tibo
443 Duke Street, Dennistoun,
Glasgow,
G31 1RY
At Tibo, chef Robert Singleton creates outstanding dishes starring prime Scottish ingredients. Breakfasts feature Ramsay's bacon, Stornoway black pudding and peat-smoked haddock, while lunch options range from smoked ham hough and puy lentil salad to…
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…
Two Fat Ladies
88 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
An average two-course dinner at Two Fat Ladies costs what top-end restaurants charge for a single main course these days. Such economies have an obvious appeal and this restaurant helps its cause by putting generally excellent food on the table, to…
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…
Ubiquitous Chip
12 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
With its fish-filled pond, cobbled courtyard and abundant plant life tumbling from overhead beams, this is as close as one can get to dining in the elegant Victorian glasshouses of the Kibble Palace up the road. The theatrical al fresco atmosphere is…
Urban Bar & Brasserie
23–25 St Vincent Place,
Glasgow,
G1 2DT
Elegance and glamour are evident when you enter this venture owned by the team behind the successful Gamba restaurant. Dark wood flooring, black leather banquettes and white linen table clothes give a classic feel to the dining room, while a centrepiece…
La Vallée Blanche
360 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8AY
A former antique complex above the West End's beloved branch of Fopp has been chosen as the reunion venue for many members of the team that once made Princes Square's étain such a success. The space has been transformed into a calm, low-lit haven of…
The Wee Curry Shop
7 Buccleuch Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6SJ
The sentiments of the 'small is beautiful' saying are certainly supported by Glasgow's various Wee Curry Shops. The newest one, opened towards the end of 2007 in Byres Road, is the latest tiny jewel in the crown of the empire of its parent group, Mother…
Where the Monkey Sleeps
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…
