The Butterfly and the Pig
153 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4SQ
Going for a meal at The Butterfly and the Pig is something of an Alice in Wonderland experience. Beyond its unprepossessing basement entrance, the bar is decorated like the Mad Hatter's front room, with chintz sofas, doilies and Welsh dressers bursting…
Chinaski's
239 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
The almost anonymous exterior and dimly lit, stylish interior makes Chinaski's a secret and sophisticated haven from the city rush, epitomised by the sunken M8 across the road. Even if you have never heard of Henry Chinaski, the relaxed approach of bar…
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…
Balbir's
7 Church Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5JP
Balbir's modern interior is plush and well lit, decorated in warm reds and clean whites, and the space is large and open enough for bigger parties while still accommodating those looking for a more intimate meal. The food is as modern as the setting.
Nanakusa
441 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
Before Nanakusa opened in November 2007, manager David Wan flew to the Far East to see exactly what made an authentic Japanese restaurant. Wan adored the teppanyaki, tempura and yakitori joints he stumbled upon, although nowhere could he find all the…
Òran Mór
731–735 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8QX
The grand looking Òran Mór, a converted sandstone church overlooking Byres Road and the Botanic Gardens, attempts to cater for the varied wants of trendy West End locals by being all things to all punters: restaurant (see Scottish), club, theatre, bar…
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…
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…
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…
Bar 91
91 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
The refurbished Bar 91 has retained its aloof smartness and lack of pretention, with new chunky tables, dark red and oyster walls and a refitted bar stocking beers by West Brewing Company. Light and airy, it has a steady office lunchtime trade that…
OKO Express
78 Queen Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3DN
This sushi bar and Japanese grill redefines the post-pub/club fish supper when it reels in the beer-goggled during one of its late late opening nights. The bright red walls and semi-communal benches of a compact but surprisingly spacious dining area…
Viva
77 Bothwell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6TS
With its proximity to Glasgow's business district, Viva entertains a sizeable number of office workers for lunch. But its handsome, dark wood interior, with some big, soft leather booths, retains a relaxed atmosphere that, come evening and muted…
Moskito
200 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HG
Bath Street has seen many a pub come and go but Moskito is now something of an old hand, having been trading steadily here since 2000. This seems largely due to its ability to appeal to a mixed crowd, offering a wide variety of beers, a comprehensive…
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…
Mine
158–166 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TB
Two parts gentleman's club to one part burlesque lounge, the interior of Mine is an impressively luxurious setting. Booths of deep crimson leather and dark, polished wooden tables lit by individual 1940s-style lamps lend the space a feeling of intimacy…
Amalfi Pizzeria
148 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RQ
What do Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Cary Grant and Errol Flynn all have in common, aside from the obvious? Amalfi Pizzeria. Or more specifically, its glitzier former guise as the Lido Café, which, being situated suitably close to the famous old Glasgow…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Housed in the loft above the much-loved Café Gandolfi, this warm, tiny bar eschews the cuisine and décor of its older sibling in favour of an identity all of its own. Quirky wooden furniture, steel beams and candlelight reflecting off battered cream…
Café Salma
523 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7PQ
Since opening in 2007, the charming and informal Café Salma has quickly gained a loyal custom – and a reputation that belies its youth. The bright interior's idiosyncratic décor, wall-mounted television and busy open kitchen give the place an authentic…
Coia's Café
473 Duke Street,
Glasgow,
G31 1NG
Coia's has been dishing out Italian favourites, chip shop classics and, of course, its famous home-made ice-cream since it first opened its doors in 1928. Following a 2006 facelift and expansion – which included adding a well-stocked delicatessen…
The Wee Curry Shop
7 Buccleuch Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6SJ
The sentiments of the 'small is beautiful' saying are certainly supported by Glasgow's various Wee Curry Shops. The newest one, opened towards the end of 2007 in Byres Road, is the latest tiny jewel in the crown of the empire of its parent group, Mother…
Charcoals
26A Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1LU
Charcoals' colourful interiors, and its reliable and occasionally excellent Punjabi cuisine, make it a good choice in the city centre. The main draws here are the great value lunchtime buffet – popular with local office workers – and the generous…
Di Maggio's Theatreland
163 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
More than two decades old, the Di Maggio's chain is going strong and regularly wins awards for its 'family-friendliness'. This outlet, formerly known as Pronto, is the so-called Theatreland branch and now uses the same menu as the others. But it's…
Kebabish
323–325 Victoria Road,
Glasgow,
G42 7SA
While no longer a part of the Kebabish Original chain, this Govanhill eatery continues to lure customers with its flame-filled open kitchen, contemporary interior and tremendous value for money. Above all, it still delivers on its promise of 'the thrill…
Chow
98 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
Bright lights, clean lines and minimal modern décor mark Chow out from most other Chinese restaurants in town. It's a little breath of fresh air that's been right at home among the hustle-bustle of Byres Road since opening its doors in 2002. Food is…
The Left Bank
33–35 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NU
Our 2007 Newcomer of the Year, the Left Bank is still managing to draw in the crowds – the popular bar/bistro has the holy trinity of dedicated service, competitive prices and honest, solid cooking to thank for its success. The stylish décor helps as…
