Mulberry Street Bar
778 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, G41 2AE
The Southside's Mulberry St bar and bistro exudes an air of style and class, with the sleek yet casual surrounds of the bar area offering a relaxed environment in which to enjoy a plethora of high-quality beers and wines. While wholly enjoyable in…
The Grill on the Corner
21–25 Bothwell Street, Glasgow, G2 6NL
Viewed from outside the twinkling fairly lights in the windows belie the more masculine grandeur inside this popular grill room. The long dark bar and booths of the cocktail area lead past a stretch of kitchen, with an open pass that smokes and hisses…
The Bon Vivant
55 Thistle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1DY
The Bon Vivant is a stylish and well-stocked bar where the innovative cocktails are expertly made and the wine list is huge (44 available by the glass including 12 champagnes). Dark walls and candlelight set the scene, and amid the cosiness are decks…
Ketchup
44 Ashton Lane, Glasgow, G12 8SJ
There’s no such thing as 'just' a burger at Ketchup – maybe you want cheese, bacon and chipotle mayo with pickles, onion and salad? Or how about Portobello mushrooms, garlic parmesan aioli and balsamic onion relish? Have it without the bun, without the…
Cafezique
66 Hyndland Street, Glasgow, G11 5PT
Mhairi Taylor’s informal café follows in the footsteps of her much respected neighbouring delicatessen, Delizique. Both celebrate quality produce and local suppliers while wrapped in a stylish West End chic that successfully makes buying a bag of…
The Dogs
110 Hanover Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1DR
It’s no surprise the Dogs is the perfect refuge for diners in austere times. Born amid the credit crunch, its no-frills, back-to-culinary-basics formula is well-honed. Dishes rarely stray above £10, even in the evening. Beyond cost, there’s ample…
The Partners Italian Bistro
1051 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G12 0XP
Partnered – to coin a phrase – with Bearsden's Partners Bistro, Tapela and Tattie Macs, this restaurant sits in unpromising surroundings, just off Great Western Road next to Gartnavel Hospital – yet the striking former Kelvinside train station houses a…
Tinto Tapas Bar Tinto Tapas Bar
138 Battlefield Road, Glasgow, G42 9JT
The interior may be a bit ramshackle, and the vibe, laid-back, but service is friendly and efficient. Along with the large menu comes a dish of delicious home salted almonds which set the taste buds going in anticipation of the tapas to follow. Mussels…
Chinaski's
239 North Street, Glasgow, G3 7DL
Even if Charles Bukowski – whose biographical alter-ego Chinaski’s is named after – mostly lived off a liquid diet, this dark, discreet hipster haunt just off the main drag of Sauchiehall Street is as much about its food as it is its drink. A huge…
Blue Moon Café
36 Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3SB
It's hard to believe, but Broughton Street's Blue Moon Café, located in the heart of Edinburgh’s gay scene, has been a lively social hub for over 30 years. A few things have altered over time. The Broughton Street wing is now a separate diner…
La Vallée Blanche
360 Byres Road, Glasgow, G12 8AY
For La Vallée Blanche, first impressions count and there’s nothing like deep red, dark wood and candlelight to seduce the hungry visitor. As a teaser, soft warm rolls and tasty amuse-bouches are served without delay. The menu is mostly meat-based, with…
Iglu
2b Jamaica Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6HH
The name Iglu suggests a frostiness that couldn’t be further from reality in this warm and welcoming eatery. Iglu’s ethical approach to food and drink is worn large and its daily-changing menu of locally sourced, seasonal and welfare-rich food is…
The Drake
1 Lynedoch Street, Glasgow, G3 6EF
Climb the side steps from the busy bar below to be greeted with the most unusual restaurant – what was once the upper floor of a large Victorian town house, has been transformed into two separate dining rooms with a corridor connecting each one – both…
Brel
39–43 Ashton Lane, Glasgow, G12 8SG
Namesake Jacques Brel would definitely recognise this informal wood-filled bar as a distinctly European approach to dining and beer. The former stables at the end of Ashton Lane has the air of a Gallic tavern with its oak-lined walls, wooden floors and…
Firebird
1321 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8TL
This well-established neighbourhood bar and bistro makes sense whatever the occasion. The intelligent, free-flowing layout means you can dine more formally at the rear, sip a cool microbrewery pint perched at the curved wooden bar, or snack and watch…
OKO Express
78 Queen Street, Glasgow, G1 3DN
Now under new ownership OKO has raised its game, with all dishes being fresher and better presented than ever, and when it comes to Japanese food that is imperative. The setting is typical for a sushi bar with cafeteria style bench seating that is good…
The Italian Kitchen The Italian Kitchen
64 Ingram Street, Glasgow, G1 1EX
High ceilings, exposed sandstone walls, big windows, red leather seats and fast moving waiters characterise this Merchant City success story. It is advisable to book as this large restaurant always seems to be busy, probably due to the exquisite food…
La Lanterna
35 Hope Street, Glasgow, G2 6AE
Descend the stairs to La Lanterna and step back in time. This place has survived credit crunches, food fads, and fast foods. The owner, Christopher Martinolli, was born the year his father opened the restaurant in 1970 and nothing much has changed…
The Two Figs
5 and 9 Byres Road, Glasgow, G11 5RD
Situated at the tricky end of Byres Road, the Two Figs has justifiably consolidated its appeal over the past couple of years. This is a place to relax – with cheery staff, cosy booths, warm lighting, exposed wood and a smattering of fig-themed motifs.
Amicus Apple
17 Frederick Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2EY
For five years now, Amicus Apple has been the preferred venue of many for after-work cocktails. The bar, which also has outdoor seating, is decked out with comfortable sofas and bright lighting to help overcome its subterranean feel without detracting…
La Fiorentina
2 Paisley Road West, Glasgow, G51 1LE
Although dark and slightly forbidding from the outside, hinting that the dining experience beyond these doors may be a serious and formal affair, inside it is relaxed and cosy with a fun, kitschy bent to the décor, reminiscent of the best tourist…
The Italian Caffè The Italian Caffè
92 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1NY
As chic and contemporary as Italian eateries get in Glasgow, this shiny, glass-fronted enoteca puts a designer twist on the concept of tapas. Why settle for boring old patatas bravas when you can have a bottle of gavi di gavi and some fresh sardines…
Peter's West End
39 Hyndland Street, Glasgow, G11 5QF
Run by dynamic husband and wife team Brian and Victoria Dunn, Peter’s is very much a neighbourhood bistro. With a short but changing menu, conscientious service and a casual atmosphere, it’s clear that many of the clientele are local and regular…
Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens, Glasgow, G2 4NQ
Just a few short steps from Charing Cross station, the Baby Grand is by day mainly filled with office workers and commuters who do lunch and coffee in the long thin room, but by night the mood changes to a more leisurely vibe as the pianist takes over.
Canasta Bistro
1102 Cathcart Road, Mount Florida, Glasgow, G42 9EG
Within a pizza throw of Hampden stadium, Canasta has become a celebrated restaurant in Glasgow's Mount Florida – an area not known for great dining options. It's cosy inside, with chequered tablecloths and scatter cushions contributing to an informal…
