Baby Grand
3-7 Elmbank Gardens, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4NQ
The original Baby Grand, in contrast to its West End and Merchant City outlets [see below], offers a Manhattan-style bar and diner. The venture mixes glass-topped tables and softly-glowing tapered candles with an open galley kitchen at one end of the…
Baby Grand/West End
2 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 5NY
Occupying a prime position at the foot of Byres Road, the Baby Grand West End adds a touch of extra elegance to the scene at Partick Cross. In premises more spacious and swish than the Charing Cross flagship, relaxed and friendly staff mill effortlessly…
Backstage Bistro
22 Valleyfield Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LR
Tucked into a quiet street in Tollcross behind the King's Theatre, this cosy little restaurant decorated with old movie posters is a popular choice with theatre and cinema-goers. Casablanca-born chef Hamouda el-Qmache and his wife Karla took over in…
The Bank
443 Clarkston Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G44 3LL
The ageing architecture of this former bank building has been given a bright and modern lift by this busy, yet chilled-out, local bar and bistro, with its squishy brown leather sofas, huge red lampshades, bold black and white curtains and chunky wooden…
Bar Bola
144 Park Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HB
Once upon a time, Bar Bola's curvaceous shapes and wiggly cast-iron fittings might have placed it in 'style bar' territory. But, over the years, it has managed to age rather gracefully as an unassuming, chilled-out bar/bistro that welcomes lots of…
The Basement
10a-12a Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
The loud, funky music and equally loud Hawaiian shirts sported by the staff in this subterranean bar and bistro give an early indication of the casual, fun philosophy behind it. Despite an extension of the dining area early last year, the tightly-packed…
Battlefield Rest
55 Battlefield Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9JL
The Rest started out life as a busy tram station and, after winning a battle against demolition in the 1990s, was born again as one of the Southside's best-loved Italian restaurants. The busy intersection on which it sits belies a relaxed warmth and…
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…
Blas
1397 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8AN
Blas is the Gaelic word for 'taste', and those who dine here can expect to experience a taste of the varied flavours of Scotland. The restaurant is situated on the edge of Partick, traditionally the Gael ghetto in Glasgow, and the Gaelic tongue can be…
Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QR
This neighbourhood restaurant is deservedly popular and has a welcoming and homely feel. The dining room is simply furnished with light furniture and wooden floors, and has a relaxed ambience which acts as the perfect backdrop to the carefully prepared…
blue bar café
10 Cambridge Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
Sharing a building with its big sister restaurant Atrium and the Traverse Theatre, blue bar café has the same innovative edge as both its neighbours. Having just undergone a makeover - opting for earthy tones in its décor - this place celebrates nature…
Blue Moon Cafe
36 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SB
There's more to this gay hangout, which has been happily ensconced on bohemian Broughton Street since 1986, than meets the eye. Facing the street itself is a light, airy café - the sort of place you could (and many do) relax and read the papers for an…
La Bonne Auberge
161 West Nile Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
La Bonne Auberge stands within heckling distance of Jongleurs comedy club - not to mention theatres, the Royal Concert Hall and a multiplex cinema - so pre-show meal times are often busy. But it's equally well-placed for a post-shopping feed, or as a…
Borough
72-80 Causewayside, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1PY
Around ten minutes' walk south of the Royal Mile, the Borough Hotel bar and restaurant have stolen some style from the classic big city lobbies of London and New York. With a long galley bar and a multitude of leather three-seaters, you and your whisky…
The Bothy
11 Ruthven Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
The Bothy is an intriguing mix of tartan and shadowy seclusion - like Brigadoon shot as film noir. Waiters wear kilts of muted hues and the menu self-consciously signposts its Scottishness (dishes come wi' accompaniments). But equally distinct is the…
Bouzy Rouge
111 West Regent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 2RU
Although on the corner of Wellington Street and West Regent Street, Bouzy Rouge's interior feels as if it would not be out of place in central Barcelona. It might be described as a contemporary spin on Catalan modernism: there is not a straight line to…
The Brasserie at Òran Mór
731-735 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8QX
The Brasserie, which is entered from Great Western Road, is the dedicated restaurant of Òran Mór, Colin Beattie's multi-purpose entertainment complex situated in a former church at the top of Byres Road. The decor is a mix of plush ecclesiastical gothic…
Brel
39-43 Ashton Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8SG
Scotland
These days, the only indoor smoker here is Jacques Brel, whose steely visage in various black and white portraits is exempt from the ban. The bar/restaurant bearing his name is the sole dedicated Belgian operation in Glasgow, and little has needed…
Brutti Ma Buoni
Brunswick Hotel, 106 Brunswick Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1TF
As the in-house café/bar of the funky Brunswick boutique hotel, this narrow black and grey number fits well by offering a similarly hip aesthetic. A bull's head made from cava corks sits on the bar, tomatoes and garlic hang from the front of the…
Café Gandolfi
64 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
The revolving doors through which one must pass to enter Café Gandolfi add a little sense of occasion to proceedings, though regulars might argue that's just eager anticipation of the food that awaits. Inside, the occasional hint of art deco gives a…
Café Grande
184 Bruntsfield Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DF
This café, bistro and bar has been bringing a touch of ooh-la-la to Bruntsfield for more than two decades. Although the French café-style wooden tables and chairs are now a little rickety, it is showing no sign of becoming any less popular with locals…
Cafe Hub
Castlehill, Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
Despite its austere, gothic exterior, the Hub has a disarmingly warm and brightly coloured interior - the glass doors open upon a large, high-ceilinged hall with pale wooden flooring, bright yellow walls and deep blue chairs. This former church is now…
Café Hula
321 Hope Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Apparently, a common customer observation is that Café Hula feels like it could be in another city entirely - San Francisco or Melbourne, perhaps. Co-owner Hugh McArthur describes the café's atmosphere as 'villagey', which is apt; with a ramshackle…
Café JJ
180 Dumbarton Road, Partick Cross, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6XE
The calm and inviting Cafe JJ has been around for long enough to be secure in its role of delivering good value, wholesome meals without too many frills, though, perhaps with an eye to the competition, smoothies are being added to a menu already full of…
Café Noir Bar Brasserie
2nd Floor Terrace, Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Formerly Hemingway's (before Ernest's notoriously litigious estate insisted on a name change), Café Noir offers a bar-brasserie geared cleverly to serve anything from a quick tapa or sandwich to a full and sophisticated three-course dinner. As the day…
