Red Onion
257 West Campbell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TT
A stylish, comfortable room with lots of wood, glass and exposed brick. Chef-patron John Quigley has a distinguished pedigree, and walks the floor happily explaining dishes, ingredients and making recommendations. To start the seared scallops are served…
The Grill on the Corner
21–25 Bothwell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6NL
This busy central restaurant is quite imposing from the outside, looking in through the fairy light-covered windows to the arguably cold minimalist chrome and black leather interor. But the warmth of the welcome, the friendly vibe (especially in the…
Lucky 7 Canteen
166 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TB
The peeling wallpaper, plain wood and 1970s style cushions on the booth benches are all deliberate: for all Lucky 7 looks like a dodgy old bedsit, it's actually carefully contrived to give this city centre hangout a laid-back, studenty atmosphere. This…
Gamba
225a West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2ND
The sign of a good fish restaurant is how well the front and back of house work in close synchronicity. Gamba has that instinctive, almost telepathic communication between cook and floor staff meaning everyone is alert to the unique properties of your…
Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RL
Trained in France, and having lead the Michelin-starred La Gavroche kitchen in London, one expects Mr Maule to conjure up truly accomplished dishes. And he does. Everything from the crisp white table cloths, black leather chairs to the sharply dressed…
Two Fat Ladies in the City
118a Blythswood Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4EG
With its curved windows and polished wooden surround it’s easy to spot this plush sibling of the TFL franchise situated just shy of Blythswood Square. The swooping artistry is continued inside where latticed ironwork fish dive beneath undulating…
Saint Judes
190 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HG
This ivy-clad basement townhouse on the Bath St social hub is an interesting and attractive mix of bar/bistro and hotel with a dark and dangerous (especially when you trip on the way to the toliet) interior and a public yet surprisingly intimate…
Limelight Bar and Grill
75 Waterloo Street,
Glasgow,
G2 7DA
Situated in the Hotel Indigo, Limelight is a smart, bright venue, well appointed with spacious booths and an upmarket feel. Service is good, if a little impersonal, probably due to the fact that the hotel, although styled like an independent boutique…
Café Antipasti
305 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ
There is a standard of service and meal in Café Antipasti that is reassuringly consistent if hardly exciting, although this reflects its location at the busy and less-than-intimate end of Sauchiehall Street. The waiting staff are invariably polite…
Elements at the Novotel Glasgow Centre
Novotel Glasgow Centre Hotel, 181 Pitt Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4DT
Set within the bright, modern surroundings of the Novotel hotel in central Glasgow, Elements is a welcoming restaurant serving an all-day menu of modern Scottish brasserie classics with an international twist. Colourful walls and contemporary décor add…
Malmaison
278 West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4LL
With its low cavernous ceiling, warm dark brown and red hues and atmospheric lighting, the Mal is surprisingly unpretentious. The menu is a collection of classic British dishes, which swim across the channel for inspiration, class and a little Gallic…
Topolino's
285 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ
A low-key doorway leads down from the main drag of Sauchiehall Street to this basement bistro, which has an airy and comfortable atmosphere thanks to uncluttered wooden tables, stripped floors and warm reds. Mirrors on the wall add to the sense of…
Black Sheep Bistro
10 Clarendon Street,
Glasgow,
G20 7QD
Tucked into a side street near St George’s Cross, this tiny family-run bistro has a stylishly mysterious exterior but inside bursts out in a riot of cheerful chintz, plaques with homely sayings and ornamental hearts: it’s like Mumsnet and Etsy rolled…
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…
Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens,
Glasgow,
G2 4NQ
With its proximity to Charing Cross Station, the Premier Inn and the motorway, the long-established Baby Grand is handily placed to cater for commuters, visitors and business folk, particularly during the day. At night the area is quieter but a…
Nanakusa
441 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
Taking its name from the seven edible herbs of spring traditionally eaten to ward off evil spirits, Nanakusa aspires to give you ‘a nice warm feeling in your tummy’. Friendly and helpful staff lead you past an open-kitchen into a large high-ceilinged…
Chinaski's
239 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
Named after a Charles Bukowski alter ego, Chinaski’s maintains its underground roots by eschewing any signage on the exterior in an effort to deter large groups of rowdy drinkers from nearby Sauchiehall Street. During daylight hours the bar is bright…
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…
The Drake
1 Lynedoch Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6EF
While the basement bar is a cosy, casual hangout, the unusual restaurant upstairs is a surprise: two beautiful Victorian dining rooms which create an atmosphere more like an evening at Downton Abbey than a restaurant. With a fine view onto Woodlands…
Two Fat Ladies at the Buttery
652 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8UF
The Buttery has long been a by-word for quality in Glasgow so the Two Fat Ladies franchise raised some expectations by keeping the name on moving in. And they didn’t disappoint. A splendid baroque Victorian bar leads to a tartan carpeted wood panelled…
The Shandon Belles
652 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8UF
Once you've found your way to Glasgow institution the Buttery (which can be tricky), there's a choice between the restaurant proper and this small bistro downstairs, under the same Two Fat Ladies management. This stylish, pretty space is decorated with…
The Lansdowne Bar & Kitchen
7a Lansdowne Crescent,
Glasgow,
G20 6NQ
With walls covered in plasma screens and a plethora of comfy booths, it is easy to see why the Lansdowne is considered by many to be among the best sports bars in town. To the rear of the spacious bar is a conservatory area, primarily a function room…
The Observatory
140 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7AW
Observatory offers informal neighbourhood dining in a site pitched between the West End and city centre. Warm sandstone and scrubbed-wood finishes with plain, unlaid tables give an unpretentious and appropriately flexible feel for its diverse clientele…
The Top Deck @ The Ferry
The Ferry, Anderston Quay,
Glasgow,
G3 8BX
A popular venue for gigs and club nights, this floating Glasgow institution does a good line in lunches and early dinners before the entertainment begins. There is a certain indefinable pleasure in eating on water, and when the sun shines on the outdoor…
