Two Fat Ladies
118a Blythswood Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4EG
The second Two Fat Ladies restaurant may be that rare thing - a sequel that's better than the original. The first, at 88 Dumbarton Road, remains a good place to eat, but the new city centre enterprise (open for two years against the West End unit's 17…
Roastit Bubbly Jocks
450 Dumbarton Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6SE
This unassuming little spot on Dumbarton Road playfully lulls patrons into a false sense of carelessness: a shower curtain keeps the draft out, and paintings on the wall are a cheerful hotchpotch of styles and eras. There's a BYOB policy (though it is…
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…
Balbir's
7 Church Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 5JP
The latest enterprise in a career that began at 17 and includes the opening of the first Ashoka in the 1980s, Balbir Singh Sumal has just transformed a Little Chef in Ayrshire into a roadside Indian diner. His greatest achievement to date, however, is…
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…
Stravaigin 2
8 Ruthven Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Near Hillhead underground station, Stravaigin 2 mounts a global food expedition with a well-executed menu that certainly raises the ante for neighbourhood dining. Raw smoked haddock, cured in citrus and chilli, offers a zingy Scottish take on the…
Dragon-i
311-313 Hope Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Dark wood, red walls and mirrors create a sophisticated ambience to go with the innovative food in Dragon-i. The lighting may seem subdued, but the concealed ceiling spots over the tables illuminate the colour and texture in the imaginative fusion…
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…
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.
Gamba
225a West George Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 2ND
Over the years, this guide has twice named Gamba as Glasgow's best restaurant. It's satisfying to report that the standards are as high as ever. Chef/owner Derek Marshall's team still manages to bag the best seabass, halibut and scallops the market has…
Mancini
315-317 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HR
Fairy lights, intimate booths and tables made from premier cru wine crate lids provide the setting in which to savour the 'passionate cooking' that is Mancini's mantra. Owner/chef Alasdair Reston's concise menu, combining locally-sourced, fresh…
Stravaigin
28-30 Gibson Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX
Stravaigin beckons you into its subterranean hideaway with reassuring confidence: at the bottom of the stairs is a busy kitchen open for all to see. Yet this is not a brash place. The lighting is muted, the furniture modest - tall-backed leather chairs…
The Wee Curry Shop
7 Buccleuch Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G3 6SJ
The aptly named Wee Curry Shop, the city centre flagship, offers a memorable dining experience. The aroma from the open-plan kitchen, coupled with the compact dining space, gives the feeling of comfort and familiarity. Service certifies the winning…
Mzouda
141 Elderslie Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7AW
This family-run restaurant, named after a village in the Atlas Mountains, may look a little lonely on its corner in Elderslie Street, but inside is both elegant and inviting with its warm terracotta and blonde wood décor scheme. With immaculate table…
Barca Tapas and Cava Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Barca exudes a casual Mediterranean warmth and understated class that feels far from the showy chatter of Princes Square. Predominant shades of red, orange, gold and brown find vivid focus in a painting of a menacing bull, while refined hits from the…
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…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
Near the top of its game since opening in 1994, Mother India is likely to be among the first places Glasgow gourmands recommend. And not just as a quality curry house, either, but as one of the most highly reputed restaurants in the city in general. The…
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…
Barbarossa
3-5 Clarkston Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G44 4EF
This Southside favourite, a regular on our hitlist, has mastered a winning recipe of exceptional food served in stylish, welcoming surroundings by conscientious staff. The menu is a fusion of Italian and Scottish cooking, with lasagne and antipasti…
Bistro at One Devonshire Gardens
1 Devonshire Gardens, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 OUX
The Bistro at One Devonshire Gardens dares to ditch Glasgow's famed gallus vigour for Gallic elegance - symbolically, pitch-black blinds block out busy Great Western Road. Inside, a fastidiously polite head waiter and a helpfully ruminative sommelier…
Cottier's
93-95 Hyndland Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 5PX
Dowanhill Parish Church is a listed 19th century landmark which, for the past 15 years, has assumed the name of its original interior designer, Daniel Cottier. This multi-purpose venue has become an attractive West End hub that boasts one of Glasgow's…
Fanny Trollopes
1066 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8LY
Inconspicuously set amid a parade of shop fronts in Finnieston, Fanny Trollopes café bistro is the neighbourhood restaurant that everyone might wish they could stumble across. Solid wooden tables and chairs are intimately pushed together in a rather…
Guy's
24 Candleriggs, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LD
Guy Cowan presides personally over the wide range of styles and influences that characterise his eponymous restaurant in the heart of the Merchant City. Somewhat surprisingly, touches of grandma's parlour melded with personalised 'pop art' (including a…
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…
