The Grill on the Corner
21–25 Bothwell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6NL
With its shiny black wooden furniture, mirrored surfaces and private booths, each with their own rather decadent crystal chandelier, this luxurious restaurant has a distinct air of the moneyed 1980s. The time travel effect is further enhanced by the…
Two Fat Ladies
118a Blythswood Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4EG
An average two-course dinner at Two Fat Ladies costs what top-end restaurants charge for a single main course these days. Such economies have an obvious appeal and this restaurant helps its cause by putting generally excellent food on the table, to…
Urban Bar & Brasserie
23–25 St Vincent Place,
Glasgow,
G1 2DT
Elegance and glamour are evident when you enter this venture owned by the team behind the successful Gamba restaurant. Dark wood flooring, black leather banquettes and white linen table clothes give a classic feel to the dining room, while a centrepiece…
Amarone
2 Nelson Mandela Place,
Glasgow,
G2 1BT
Conceived as a more upmarket venture by the owners of the popular Italian restaurant chain DiMaggio's, Amarone immediately impresses with an elegant entrance and staircase leading to a stylish, modern basement dining room. High stained glass windows…
Roastit Bubbly Jocks
450 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6SE
Amidst the charity shops at the long end of Dumbarton Road, Roastit Bubbly Jocks might seem out of the way. For many, however, it's a well-loved dining institution. The emphasis is on the food and atmosphere: it's bustling, loud and warm – the way any…
Catch 22 Restaurant & Bar
158–166 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TB
Stefan King's various holdings are not best known for their cuisine, but from its launch in 2006 the G1 Group's Catch 22 Restaurant & Bar has put food to the fore. Chef David Thompson's predominantly but not exclusively fish and seafood oriented menu…
La Lanterna
35 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6AE
For almost four decades, the Martinolli family have been serving up traditional Italian cuisine in their attractive, cavernous restaurant beneath the otherwise unedifying, traffic-choking Hope Street. The décor has remained almost untouched – a warm…
The Bothy
11 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Tucked away in Ruthven Lane, a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of Byres Road, the Bothy combines modern design with traditional touches, creating a look somewhere between country hotel sitting room and trendy style bar. The kitchen aims to…
Café Andaluz
St Vincent Place,
Glasgow,
G1 2DW
There are two Café Andaluz restaurants in Glasgow – at St Vincent Place in the city centre and Cresswell Lane in the West End – and there are plans to open another in Edinburgh's George Street in 2008. The tapas format fits well into each location, with…
The Living Room
150 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5NE
Slightly adrift from the hub of the city centre, this stylish bar and restaurant pulls in a mix of fashionable twentysomethings and corporate diners on expense accounts. It's dark and moody inside, the long rectangular space divided between cocktail bar…
Corinthian/Lite Bar
191 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DA
As we went to press with the 15th edition edition of The List Eating & Drinking Guide, this G1 Group-run landmark was preparing for another rejigging (with the six-week works due to commence in spring 2008). But as the building is listed, its owners can…
Salsa
63 Carlton Place,
Glasgow,
G5 9TW
Technically on the Southside, Salsa is just a pleasant five-minute walk from the city centre via the Clyde's suspension pedestrian bridge. The discreet location suits the ambience of the restaurant, which is refreshingly unlike most Mexican-themed…
Gamba
225a West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2ND
Gamba celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2008, and one would be hard-pressed to name a more consistently excellent, top-end restaurant in Glasgow over the same time period. It's not only that chef and co-owner Derek Marshall doesn't ever settle for…
Manna
104 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2EN
Manna, another successful enterprise in restaurateur Alan Tomkin's empire (Gamba, Urban Grill, etc), is tucked away in the basement of a Bath Street townhouse. Despite such seclusion, this reincarnation of the former Papingo is clearly sought after…
Two Fat Ladies
88 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
An average two-course dinner at Two Fat Ladies costs what top-end restaurants charge for a single main course these days. Such economies have an obvious appeal and this restaurant helps its cause by putting generally excellent food on the table, to…
The Bank
443 Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 3LL
Housed in an impressively spacious former bank building, this pub and restaurant shows that catering for a wide range of tastes – and keeping standards reasonably high – is possible. Vast brown sofas, long wooden tables and a stained glass dome in the…
Ad Lib
33 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
Strata
45 Queen Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3EH
Strata offers two different experiences. An intimate cocktail bar occupies the ground floor, while the mezzanine space serves as an informal dining room with a handful of tables and plenty of twinkling candles. A relatively small but still ambitious…
Ad Lib
111 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6LL
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
JT Rochead
60 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
Walking through a busy bar into this recently reconstructed restaurant is such a contrast that it feels a little like entering a theatre set. The décor might be described as Caledonian gothic, exemplified by wallpaper with giant thistle motifs on a…
No. Sixteen
16 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5JY
Since opening in 1991, No. Sixteen has consistently been regarded by foodies as a mainstay of the ever-changing landscape of Byres Road. Owners Margaret and Ronald Campbell continue to uphold their reputation of excellence through a commitment to…
The Sisters
1a Ashwood Gardens, 512 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G13 1NU
Since moving from Ashton Lane to Jordanhill a few years back, the Sisters restaurant has become regarded as one of the better options in Glasgow. But its location off the beaten track made it one of the trickiest to find (though once you've been, it is…
Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RL
It's seven years since Brian Maule moved back to his native Scotland to develop his philosophy of bold, classic cuisine (initially nurtured by the brothers Roux in London). In this time, Chardon d'Or has become one of Glasgow's few destination…
Malmaison
278 West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4LL
The Malmaison chain of boutique hotels is renowned for updating grand old venues, and Glasgow's branch is no exception, with the tower of this Greek-style former Episcopalian church shooting dizzingly upwards from the oversized front door. The hushed…
Tron Theatre
63 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5HB
The Tron Theatre enjoys a reputation for its commitment to producing innovative original work and the thriving bar is evidence of the venue's continuing popularity with the Glasgow arts crowd. The Victorian Bar, the oak-panelled dining room in the heart…
An Lochan
340 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT
To wander through Broomhill, at least up the Crow Road from Partick towards Anniesland, is to witness a dearth of dining out options. But amid the virtual desert this oasis emerges modestly amid of a row of shops. The former Café Royale, An Lochan is…
Lombardi's Ristorante Grill
Unit 4/5, Merchant Square, Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
With more than a half-dozen eateries vying for customers in the Merchant Square, the competition can be a bit fierce at the renovated market – now a dining and entertainment destination in the heart of the Merchant City. Previously a French restaurant…
Rogano
11 Exchange Place,
Glasgow,
G1 3AN
The art deco interiors of this true Glasgow landmark are as sharp and satisfying as they were when they were installed some 73 years ago. Beautiful wood veneers and gesso panels in the oyster bar and main dining room augment a cosseted environment to…
Café Français
4 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5JY
Extravagantly fitted out fin de siècle style, with globe lamps and brass railings aplenty, Café Français exudes an informal class that draws a steady trade, perhaps due to its flexible menu. There's a big selection of crêpes, salads and baguettes and a…
Café Mao
84 Brunswick Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1TD
The relaxed atmosphere and pan-Asian menu at Café Mao have attracted a steady flow of easygoing diners for nearly a decade. Big windows, bright lighting and the primary colours of its branding make sure things don't get too formal, and the winning staff…
Mussel Inn
157 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2UQ
Owned by shellfish farmers, the Mussel Inn presents a range of basic mussel and scallop dishes, and it is distinctly possible that the key ingredients of your meal were harvested only hours earlier. While there is a daily finned fish special (on this…
Café Andaluz
2 Cresswell Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
There are two Café Andaluz restaurants in Glasgow – at St Vincent Place in the city centre and Cresswell Lane in the West End – and there are plans to open another in Edinburgh's George Street in 2008. The tapas format fits well into each location, with…
Red Onion
257 West Campbell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TT
John Quigley, occasional celebrity chef and Ready Steady Cook crackerjack, is a reliable presence at this popular city centre bistro, which he co-owns with his wife. Gags and TV studio lights aren't much in evidence at Red Onion, which rather blends an…
La Tasca
39–43 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1JS
La Tasca is a chain covering the whole of the UK (including five Scottish locations) and Glasgow's branch conforms to a corporate model that dictates menu, drinks and décor. But don't let that put you off. It may function with the ruthless efficiency of…
Tusk
18 Moss Side Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3TN
This vast G1 Group bar/club and restaurant has an interior of truly striking extravagant opulence, with a vast gold-painted Buddha overlooking the dining room. Rich, dark red walls plus cream and gold curtains offer appropriately theatrical touches in…
Bar MC
129 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
This basement venue in the swish ABode Hotel was formerly known as Michael Caines Café Bar. It was rebranded in October 2007, but not too much has changed: Bar MC incorporates both a family-friendly restaurant (where under fives eat free) and a…
La Bonne Auberge
161 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
Long established in the heart of so-called Theatreland, La Bonne Auberge occupies a corner of the Holiday Inn near Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall and the soaring Cineworld tower. This subdued, low-lit restaurant deserves praise for maintaining a distinct…
Oshi
2 Port Dundas Place,
Glasgow,
G2 3LD
In 2007, Langs hotel was taken over and renamed as the Park Inn, thus joining a worldwide chain and bringing with it the brand's signature rainbow stripes. As this edition of the Eating & Drinking Guide was going to press, plans for a new menu at Oshi…
The Brasserie at Òran Mór
731–735 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8QX
With its substantial timber doors, thick stone walls, flickering candles and cosy private booths, Òran Mór's brasserie creates an instant sense of comfort and warmth. Specially commissioned paintings from Sheila Tandy, a descendant of Charles Rennie…
La Fiorentina
2 Paisley Road West,
Glasgow,
G51 1LE
With its traditional décor of statues, vines and terracotta tiles, La Fiorentina is a Southside institution approaching its second decade with old-fashioned service that's deferential and efficient, keeping the chat to a minimum. To start, a platter of…
Dakhin
89 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
With its discrete entrance and first-floor location, Dakhin could easily be missed among the plethora of busy restaurants and bars in Candleriggs. Those who are curious – or cunning – enough to venture upstairs, however, will be welcomed into an…
The Dhabba
44 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LE
This Merchant City establishment continues to consolidate its place among the best Indian restaurants in Glasgow. The open, airy venue is sleek and modern with bare wooden furnishings and minimal decorative embellishments, which encourages diners to pay…
Secret Garden at the Gate
62 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
Take little notice of the name: this place is not about any cosy pastoralism or cream teas, as its moniker might suggest. At the rear of a contemporary, slightly minimalist Merchant City bar (the Gate), the dining room (Secret Garden) rather looks more…
Café Antipasti
305 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ
Between the fairy lights and rustic pine tables and fittings, you might be surprised on first impressions to learn that Café Antipasti on Byres Road (not to be confused with the branch on Sauchiehall Street, which has different owners) is an Italian…
Observatory
138-140 Elderslie Street, West End,
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…
Sannino Pizzeria
61 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2DG
More than 20 years after it was established, this handsome pizzeria continues to lure customers into its underground chamber of dark wooden booths, chrome railings and Tiffany-style lamps. Regulars appreciate the reasonably priced set lunch and…
Tiger Tiger
The Glasshouse, 20 Glassford Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1UL
Although it punts itself as a relatively upscale grill, the restaurant at Tiger Tiger (whose sprawling premises in a three-storey complex include several bars and a club) essentially just does standard pub grub in formal surroundings. Prices are fairly…
Minsky's
Glasgow Hilton, 1 William Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8HT
Of the two restaurants within Glasgow's five-star city centre Hilton, the casual option is Minsky's. This self-styled 'New York-style brasserie' operates arguably more like a Midwestern-style massive buffet, offering a bewildering array of food.
TaPaell'Ya
Radisson SAS Hotel, 301 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
Tucked onto the glamorous Radisson SAS hotel – but with a front door opening directly onto the pavement – TaPaell'Ya manages to feel like a standalone restaurant rather than a hotel dining room (although the high concentration of airline cabin crew and…
City Café
City Inn, Finnieston Quay,
Glasgow,
G3 8HN
The City Café is located within the popular City Inn on Glasgow's improving waterfront. The mood is modern and understated, with leather upholstery in muted aubergine tones, sparkling glassware, linen-covered tables and an immense window frontage onto…
Elements at the Novotel Glasgow Centre
Novotel Glasgow Centre Hotel, 181 Pitt Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4DT
Collage
Radisson SAS Hotel, 301 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
Tucked away inside the dramatic copper, glass and slate hulk of the design award-winning Radisson SAS building on Argyle Street, Collage is one of two Mediterranean-themed restaurants in the hotel atrium, alongside tapas bar TaPaell’Ya [see Spanish].
