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…
Two Fat Ladies
88 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
This is a restaurant with the chutzpah to put its kitchen in the window – aspiring chefs who want a master class in how to prepare and cook fresh Scottish fish need only stop and gawk. The small room is laid out galley style with dark walls, crushed…
279 Café Bistro
279 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6AB
This smart little bistro lies on the busy Dumbarton road just a few door along from the library, unsurprisingly at number 279. During the day the Italian-influenced menu offers sandwiches, ciabattas, homemade pizzas, or a generously portioned steak and…
Velvet Elvis
566 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6RH
Old-style café booths, exposed brickwork and menus delivered on LP record sleeves help to make Velvet Elvis stand out from the crowd. The food on the whole is predictable but there also more unusual and interesting options dotted around. For example, it…
Yen
28 Tunnel Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8HL
The North Rotunda is based in the heartland of what was once Clydeside's mighty shipbuilding industry. Today it's an increasingly incongruous relic of red brick Victoriana amid chain hotels, with the gleaming new BBC and STV bases across the water. Yen…
Bo'Vine Meats and Wines
385 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8AU
As the name would suggest (Bovine is derived from the Latin for ox) this restaurant, part of the Hilton Grosvenor, is all about the meat. This ranges from Perthshire venison, Ayrshire pork or grass-fed Aberdeen Angus steak, the latter charred on…
The Brasserie at Òran Mór
731–735 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8QX
Òran Mór – a multi-space arts and social venue formed from a grand old church at the top of Byres Road – is something of a hub in the cultural life of Glasgow’s West End. Hidden below the busy main bar, though, the Brasserie feels like something of an…
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…
Eat Deli
16 Busby Rd, Clarkston,
Glasgow,
G76 7BG
The rather prosaic name gives no indication of the high quality of food served and on sale here. Bei & Nannini coffee, Ferrarelle mineral water, Suki fair-trade tea and Stornoway black pudding are just a few of the superior brands. There’s clearly a…
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…
The Glasserie
Mansion House, The Glasshouse, 20 Glassford Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1UL
Mansion House is the latest superclub to be unveiled in the Merchant City. Previously Tiger Tiger, it is compartmentalised into various rooms and venues, all with a different vibe but squarely aimed at revellers having a fun-filled evening. Through…
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…
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…
Mother India's Café
1355 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8AD
It’s not uncommon to see queues of hungry diners outside this tapas-style take on Indian cuisine, highlighting both its popularity and the fact it doesn’t take bookings. But don’t let a short wait put you off – there’s always the grandeur of Kelvingrove…
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…
St Louis Cafe Bar
734 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 7RD
This family-run café-bar originally opened as just a café, but as its evening popularity grew so did its modest menu. The venue is as welcoming as a good friend’s living room with Klimt prints, fairy lights wrapped around pillars and an aged wooden…
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…
Shimla Pinks
777 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G41 2AX
Pink is the word at Shimla Pinks on Pollokshaws Road. The striking cerise and black décor, along with the subdued lighting and white opaque glass behind the bar, create a 1980s wine bar feel. The atmosphere is subdued, intimate and rarely too busy…
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…
Urban Bar & Brasserie
23–25 St Vincent Place,
Glasgow,
G1 2DT
Positioned to receive tourists spilling out from George Square is this, the flagship in Alan Tomkins’ collection of Glasgow bars and restaurants. With its muted tones, champagne bar and live piano playing it seems halfway between a relaxed, cosmopolitan…
West Highland Gate
103 Main Street, Milngavie,
Glasgow,
G62 6JQ
Located just north of Glasgow city centre, West Highland Gate is a family-friendly restaurant in Milngavie which is part of the popular Beefeater chain. Steaks, grills and burgers with international favourites and set meal deals offer something to suit…
