Ad Lib
111 Hope Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 6LL
A handsome old fire station on Ingram Street houses the second branch of Ad Lib, which hopes to extend its deluxe-diner appeal to the Merchant City. The original might still be slightly funkier, with its long bar and American-style booths, but the newer…
Ad Lib/Merchant City
33 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
A handsome old fire station on Ingram Street houses the second branch of Ad Lib, which hopes to extend its deluxe-diner appeal to the Merchant City. The original might still be slightly funkier, with its long bar and American-style booths, but the newer…
An Lochan
340 Crow Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT
Enjoy a meal at An Lochan (formerly Café Royale) and you'll not only have chef Claire McKie to thank but also Mary, Shonna, Arthur and Winston. These ladies and gentlemen are responsible for catching, gathering and shooting the scallops, oysters…
Argan Café
1166-1170 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
PLEASE NOTE: THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOW CLOSED
Review written spring 2007.
The décor of Argan Café is airy, reasonably elegant and quietly welcoming: white walls, wooden flooring and the choice of art conspire to create an impression of suave…
Ashoka Bearsden
9 Kirk Road, Bearsden,
Glasgow,
G61 3RG
The Bearsden outpost of the Harlequin Group, Europe's largest chain of Indian restaurants, received a successful makeover in 2006. The deep red colour scheme has been replaced with fresh creams and browns, enhanced with colonial artefacts, Indian…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
Bar Soba pulls off the feat of being a stylish city centre bar with the warmth and easy-going attitude of a local. The downstairs restaurant operates during the busier nights of the week and food is served upstairs in the bar at other times. Although…
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…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
This West End stalwart has long been popular with those looking for something a bit different. While the city offers more in this vein today, the Bay Tree remains a favourite of vegetarians and vegans (it was once completely meat-free). It draws…
The Big Blue
445 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HH
The window for open air dining in Glasgow may be brief, but when it's ajar, the Big Blue cashes in on its sun-trap location just above the banks of the River Kelvin. Even when the weather isn't conducive to eating outdoors, the brightly coloured mosaics…
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…
The Butterfly & the Pig
153 Bath Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4SQ
Scotland
Unique, and maybe just a little zany, this flighty butterfly and dashing pig have made a rather refreshing splash across the Glasgow pub food scene. Eclectic retro décor typified by wingback chairs, velvet poufs, art deco crockery and odd, narrative…
Cafe Antipasti
337 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8QU
The resolutely unpretentious Byres Road branch of Antipasti, dotted with fairy lights, offers alongside its fine coffees one of the West End's best opportunities for people-watching through its tall shopfront windows. The menu also plays its part in…
Café Cossachok
Russian Cultural Centre 38 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5QP
Scotland
Forget frugality. Russia - that is 'all the Russias', from the Baltic to the Black Sea - arguably invented global cuisine long before it became fashionable, with culinary influences from fringe Asiatic regions to old Europe joining forces effectively.
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…
Charcoals
26A Renfield Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 LRU
To the uninitiated, Charcoals might possibly be overlooked when considering an Indian meal, as it trades rather inconspicuously on a busy part of Renfield Street. But those in the know can tell you that this restaurant is a top contender when it comes…
Cherry & Heather Fine Foods
7 North Gower Street, Ibrox, Southside,
Glasgow,
G51 1PW
Iwan and Reiko Sasaki were no doubt told that a small takeaway/café in Ibrox selling vegetarian sushi as well as wholesome sandwiches (with lots of seasonal and organic ingredients) would never fly. It is early days, but they may not only win over 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…
Chow
98 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
Chow is one of the Byres Road's true success stories. Inside this tiny Chinese bistro, the décor - teak tables in booths - offers an intimacy that is unfussy and welcoming. The often innovative menu allows repeat custom to get more adventurous with each…
Coia's Cafe
473 Duke Street, East End,
Glasgow,
G31 1NG
The word 'café' does not begin to encompass the wonders of Coias, starting with the space-age Italian glass and chrome circular ice-cream fridge. It's the first of its kind in Britain, says owner Alfredo Coia, whose family has occupied this Dennistoun…
Di Maggio's
61 Ruthven Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
There are multiple branches in Glasgow of this popular restaurant, each with its own slightly different style and clientele. Cosy Ruthven Lane premises are tucked down a cobbled alley in the heart of the West End. It sticks to traditional Italian décor…
DiMaggio's Theatreland
163 West Nile Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
Formerly DiMaggio's Pronto, this pit-stop restaurant is popular with those grabbing a quick bite before catching a show at a nearby cinema or theatre. But sporting drama is the theme inside, and diners can choose from two seating areas: one adorned with…
Ding's Grande Buffet
29 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Dings offers a set-price buffet of surprisingly well-prepared Chinese and Thai dishes, with a nod to Japan with a bit of sushi. There is often a varied selection of seafood, which can include both fresh west coast Scottish mussels and the larger New…
Fratelli Sarti
121 Bath Street/133 Wellington Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ/G2 2X
A visit to the Sarti brothers' flagship restaurant may be just about the closest you'll get to dining at a real Italian trattoria without having to leave Glasgow. Sinatra croons from the stereo and images of the Tuscan landscape fill the walls…
Garlic
793 Shettleston Road, Shettleston, East End,
Glasgow,
G32 7NN
The reputation of Garlic's Giovanna Eusebi grows with each passing year. It's remarkable only in that her main platform, Garlic deli, is in the culinary wilds of Shettleston, east of Parkhead. In 2006, she hosted a couple of gourmet meals at the House…
