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…
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…
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…
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…
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 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…
Catch 22 Restaurant & Bar
158-166 Bath Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4TB
Part of Stefan King's empire of 40-odd enterprises (including Corinthian, Arta, Gong), Catch 22 shares the confident, efficient house style of the G1 Group. From the waiters' sharp black suits and gelled hair to the all-lower-case typography of the…
Chinaski's
239 North Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
An unassuming exterior lacking apparent signage lends Chinaski's a certain immediate hipness. It is inspired in name by barfly/writer Charles Bukowki's alter ego, and there are subtle references to the beat writer, though with no theme-bar triteness…
City Café
City Inn, Finnieston Quay, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8HN
Just downstream from the iconic new 'squinty' bridge, City Café, on the ground floor of the City Inn hotel, capitalises fully on its recently enhanced Clydeside location. Floor to ceiling windows allow full appreciation of Glasgow's aquatic artery, as…
Collage
Radisson SAS Hotel, 301 Argyle Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
One of the Radisson SAS hotel's two restaurants, Collage deserves to be busier than it is. Inside, bright paper tablecloths with food-related scribblings, colourful screens and wall hangings lend an air of cosy informality to the room, where the service…
Corinthian
191 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1DA
Glasgow's former union banking hall dating from the 19th century provides an impressive grade A listed backdrop to this multi-spaced emporium of eating and drinking. Neon lights under the spectacular glass dome of the Lite bar, and staff in stylish…
Cul de Sac
44 Ashton Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
Ashton Lane - with its Irish pub, Polish vodka bar and Belgian brasserie - is arguably Glasgow's most cosmopolitan corner. Here, Cul de Sac flies the flag for France. The Toulouse-Lautrec prints, checker-board floor and red leatherette booths suggest a…
Fanny Trollopes
1066 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8LY
Inconspicuously set amid a parade of shop fronts in Finnieston, Fanny Trollopes café bistro is the neighbourhood restaurant that everyone might wish they could stumble across. Solid wooden tables and chairs are intimately pushed together in a rather…
Firebird
1321 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TL
Part of a cluster of eateries filling the gap between Byres Road and Argyle Street's western end, Firebird is a vibrant bar and bistro with an upbeat atmosphere. The blue and yellow walls are adorned with quirky art work, such as a magnificent big white…
