Thai Lemongrass
24 Renfrew Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3BW
To enter Thai Lemongrass is to step off a grubby street of buses and building work and into a little bit of zen, where ceiling fans slowly whirl and muzak never sounded so good. Exquisitely uniformed staff swiftly present Thai prawn crackers (infinitely…
The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7AR
A Glasgow fixture since 1982, this Ashoka is not part of the popular Harlequin-owned chain of the same name. Downstairs is the 110-capacity Curryoke restaurant, where you can experience a full banquet plus a spot of singing, while upstairs the…
Shilla
1138 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TD
Glasgow’s only Korean restaurant, Shilla, occupies a cosy corner on old Argyle street. With tightly packed tables and friendly staff the restaurant has a bustling yet welcoming atmosphere. The wide range of dishes, and their unfamiliar names can be a…
Creedence
48a West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2RA
There ain’t no bad moon risin’ in this fun and feisty Delta-inspired bistro. A deep down, underground entrance off the busy roads of West Regent and Renfield streets reveals a chic interior of dark browns and muted yellows with pooled lighting, wooden…
The Hidden Lane Tearoom
8 Argyle Court, 1103 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8ND
Tucked down a cobbled lane off Argyle Street, the Hidden Lane Tearoom is one of those rare places where everything comes together seamlessly. The décor is shabby chic – all duck-egg blue highlights, floral bunting, artfully mismatched furniture and…
Jade Garden
303 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ
A Sauchiehall Street fixture since 1971, the Jade Garden feels little affected by the passing of time. A well-trod carpeted staircase leads up to its genteel, pastel-tinted dining room where, within minutes of sitting down, a little basket of light…
University Café
87 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5HN
Established in 1918, the University Café is a Byres Road institution, serving fish suppers, fry-ups and homemade lasagne for nearly a century. Inside, the décor is practically unchanged since opening, original wood panelled walls, narrow formica tables…
Assam’s
57 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2AE
Assam’s has quickly affirmed itself as a City Centre mainstay, having only been in its current premises two years. The restaurant is grand and elegant, with split level dining and huge luxurious circular booths – it certainly has the air of fine dining…
Fanny Trollopes
1066 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8LY
From its cheeky name and origin story (see the portrait inside or on their website) to the lively weekend crowds attracted by pre-theatre deals, Fanny's doesn't seem exactly a subtle place. Yet a glance at its inventive menu contradicts that: it's a…
North Star
108 Queen Margaret Drive,
Glasgow,
G20 8NZ
This cosy café – under new ownership since late 2011 – is now seeking to blend traditional café options with a little Italian style and flair. On offer is a range of options cooked to order – which does, however, mean some choices are not suited to…
Beanscene
110 Battlefield Road, Battlefield, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9JT
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Brooklyn Café
21 Minard Road,
Glasgow,
G41 2HR
Year of Opening: 1931. This fact alone says so much about the obvious enduring appeal of the Brooklyn Café. Generations of local custom must mean dramatic change is difficult but while crowd-pleasers like the famous ice-cream remain (plus the many…
Killermont Polo Club
2022 Maryhill Road,
Glasgow,
G20 0AB
Killermont Polo Club is hidden away on the Maryhill Road in a former polo clubhouse, attracting much of is custom through recommendations and word of mouth, rather than passing trade. The main dining area is divided into a conservatory/clubhouse area…
Nur
22 Bridge Street,
Glasgow,
G5 9HR
Run by a Scots-Egyptian couple, Nur is an oasis of warmth, friendliness and good food. A cosy mezzanine is furnished with low tables, divans and plenty of cushions, while the downstairs dining space is dotted with shisha pipes, papyrus and pottery. As…
Beanscene
1-3 Helena Place, Busby Road, Clarkston, Southside,
Glasgow,
G76 7RB
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Café La Padella
124 Woodlands Road,
Glasgow,
G3 6HB
A bright turquoise exterior is the first clue that Café La Padella is definitely not another corporate café. Idiosyncratic is the word that best describes this Mediterranean/Middle Eastern eatery, exemplifying, as it does, an 'original mix of…
Gizzi's
87 Cambridge Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6RU
Previously known as Bistro du Sud but renovated and renamed Gizzi's in 2007, this bistro has a small, unassuming exterior and, inside, may be mistaken for a café with limited seating. There is more space upstairs, and the place would no doubt be full…
Neelim
1590 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G14 9DB
After two decades of serving loyal Scotstoun locals, Neelim must be doing something right. Couples and families flock here, whether it be for a sit-down dinner or some takeaway dishes to enjoy at home, and it can fill up even on week nights. The menu…
Offshore
3/5 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NU
It’s impossible not to mention the view from Offshore. Large windows looking out onto Gibson Street and onto the beginnings of Kelvingrove Park give the café a laid-back feel that makes it the perfect haven for anybody looking to chill out and watch the…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
Around since 1960, the Bay Tree Café has a relaxed air to it, the walls and shelves decorated with various Arabian/Mediterranean knick-knacks. If the décor evokes one region though, then the menu is far broader ranging. The breakfast menu is available…
The Calabash Restaurant
57 Union Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3RB
What The Calabash Restaurant lacks in interior décor, it makes up for in brilliantly imaginative cooking. Located down a steep flight of stairs at an unremarkable Union Street address, the menu is packed with colourful dishes from all over Africa…
Go Slow Café
452 Victoria Road,
Glasgow,
G42 8YU
Six years of taking it easy at Go Slow Café (to paraphrase the blurb), but the place is thriving and popular, so it’s no mean feat that during the busiest times owner/factotum Rose manages to keep the happy, calm vibe alive. Like most places run with…
Gusto & Relish
729–731 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G41 2AA
You may not want to leave afterwards but the half-hour walk back into town (for City Centre dwellers) is recommended to burn off the calories. That's because the food here is moreish in the extreme – and that's not just the mountainous meringues. The…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
A much-loved Glasgow institution, Mother India's flagship restaurant is set over three floors, each with its own unique character. The small dining area on the ground floor is bright and casual, the first floor is grand with dark wood and candles, and…
The Tearoom @ The Butterfly and the Pig
153 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4SQ
The 'odd pair', it states in the blurb, and they could be talking about the mismatched cutlery and crockery. A step back in time to a more genteel age awaits on climbing the stairs to the sister venue of the Buff Club and companion piece to the…
Thai Siam
1191 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TQ
Occupying a steadily gentrifying section of Argyle Street, Thai Siam is a neighbourhood favourite with a friendly atmosphere. The décor is a bit curry house circa 1990, plus large wall reliefs of the Buddha and the menu also appears to have stayed the…
Art Lover's Café
House for an Art Lover, Bellahouston Park, 10 Dumbreck Road,
Glasgow,
G41 5BW
The Art Lover’s Café offers an elegant, yet relaxed dining experience. The walls of its serene white dining room play host to frequently changing art exhibitions, but there’s artistry on the plates too. Salads and upmarket sandwiches (think char-grilled…
Berits & Brown
6 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1SS
In the heart of the merchant City, which is particularly good looking at night these days, Berits and Brown offers a small taste of a New York style neighbourhood diner. It is a big draw for wine buffs – any bottle on sale in the off license can be…
Ivory Bar & Restaurant
2–4 Camphill Avenue,
Glasgow,
G41 3AY
Situated adjacent to the greenery of Queens Park on a relatively quiet residential street, The Ivory Hotel looks like it could almost be the eatery and watering hole in a rural town. It feels like it inside too, with an informal atmosphere generated by…
The Khyber
221 St Andrew's Road,
Glasgow,
G41 1PD
Though the lightly spiced, smooth, buttery dhal is delicious, there’s no denying you come to the Khyber to eat meat. Welcome, then, is the special kebab starter with the chance to sample each of the meats on offer. Marinated lamb mince sheek kebab is…
La Tasca
39–43 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1JS
La Tasca must be doing something right. The flamenco guitars being piped through the PA are competing with boisterous chatter and the relentless tattoo of cutlery on plates. The place is packed. A cursory glance at the menu reveals what may be…
Windows Restaurant
Carlton George Hotel, 44 West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1DH
The kitchen – under award-winning young chef Michelle Dempsey – is doing a sterling job. There are few surprises on the menu, but dishes are beautifully executed, and attention to detail is excellent. Fondant potato – so often badly prepared elsewhere…
Athena Greek Taverna
1116 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TD
This restaurant is a cosy and welcoming place, with years of preparing Greek fare behind it – one of the owner’s grandfathers ran the original Athena Greek Taverna in the city’s Southide, and culinary skill has obviously been passed on. The hummus makes…
Banana Leaf
105 Albert Drive,
Glasgow,
G41 2SU
The Banana Leaf offers good value, authentic Indian food. From an extensive menu, the manager is happy to make recommendations and even demonstrate cooking to curious customers. Don't miss their famous dosas – huge lentil and rice pancakes, thin, crispy…
Beanscene
1365 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8AF
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Beanscene
19 Skirving Street Shawlands, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 3AB
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Beanscene
40-42 Woodlands Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 6UR
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
eat café
69 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
Opened in autumn 2011, this expansion of the highly rated eat deli into 'Southside central' is a relaxing day-time café/evening bistro that hasn’t taken long to find its feet – nor its fan base judging by the eager lunchers who come in for a coffee and…
Enjoy
393–395 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
The décor of Great Western Road’s Enjoy is fairly unassuming. The airy wooden-floored room is filled up with chunky leather sofas and bucket armchairs, which surround low-slung coffee tables. The walls are plain but for occasional minimalist framed…
Shish Mahal
66–68 Park Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9JF
A fixture of the West End for almost half a century, this traditional family favourite still stands out with its stylish décor which was one of the first to throw out the clichéd Indian restaurant trappings in favour of contemporary design, large glass…
The Wee Curry Shop
41 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5RG
The Wee Curry Shop on Byres Road is a casual affair with the ambience of a 1970s living room. A team of chefs work in an open kitchen as you enter the restaurant. Most seating is on the mezzanine directly above this kitchen, so the air up here is hot…
Alba
481 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8HL
Opened in 2011, it didn't take husband and wife team Brendon Miller and Anne Smillie long to establish a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere for this pleasant café. Food is freshly prepared by Brendon and this effort comes across in both the look and…
Beanscene
16 Cresswell Lane Hillhead,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
Beanscene, recently opened, is another contender for the trendy cafe crown, with its Friends-y vibe, evening tapas menu and weekly live music.
Big Mouth Coffee Bar and Café
167 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6AA
This casual café servicing Partick locals is nicely furnished and softly lit making it a comfortable spot for a coffee, breakfast or bite of lunch. A tender steak served in a warmed ciabatta is flavoured with a tangy mustard mayo and comes with a side…
Biscuit
17 Skirving Street,
Glasgow,
G41 3AB
Biscuit’s pastry chef/owner has appeared on TV showing us how to bake some of the scrumptious sweet treats available here – and maybe she’ll share her recipe for a successful café too. Exceptional, creative cakes (including the 'whoopie' – dubbed the…
The Cabin
996–998 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G14 9UJ
Situated a little walk past the main dining strip on Dumbarton Road, the striking cream and red art deco-style exterior of this charming little restaurant welcomes you into the nautical world inside. Host Dennis welcomes you to the light, bright space…
Cup
311 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8UQ
The first thing to mention about Cup is that it’s a tearoom rather than a café, offering a wide range of speciality teas and infusions that add twists to the traditional black, green, and oolong varieties. The second thing to mention is that this isn’t…
PJ’s India
15–17 Kent Road,
Glasgow,
G3 7EH
PJ, the owner of the restaurant (which used to be Panjea) apparently has ‘mad visions’ of curries in his dreams. This could explain some of the more inspired dishes on the menu, such as almond-honey curry, tandoori trout and banana pakora. But it’s not…
Roastit Bubbly Jocks
450 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6SE
The open glass frontage of this well established Partick eatery offers a candlelit window into its cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Inside locals, couples and large family parties are served hearty portions of Scottish cuisine. The Highland game terrine is…
Tawa & Grill
146–148 Nelson Street,
Glasgow,
G5 8EJ
The smart and contemporary Tawa & Grill provides proof – if you needed reminding – that a trip to Nelson Street in Tradeston possesses nearly all the virtues of a journey halfway across Asia. That this dilapidated zone south of the Clyde has become…
Avenue G
291 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TL
Avenue G prides itself on its coffee, and their menu even includes a handy customers’ guide to their array of options. It’s not just the coffee that they have every right to boast about though as the café’s food and ambience are both well worthy of…
Café India
29 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Having recently been taken over by Tony Hussain, Café India has some big ideas and great expectations. From a Sunday morning cookery school to Indian tapas and Scottish ale evenings, there’s plenty going on. The large dining area remains divided, with a…
Canasta Bistro
1102 Cathcart Road, Mount Florida,
Glasgow,
G42 9EG
Within a pizza throw of Hampden stadium, Canasta has become a celebrated restaurant in Glasgow's Mount Florida – an area not known for great dining options. It's cosy inside, with chequered tablecloths and scatter cushions contributing to an informal…
Eat Deli
16 Busby Rd, Clarkston,
Glasgow,
G76 7BG
The rather prosaic name gives no indication of the high quality of food served and on sale here. Bei & Nannini coffee, Ferrarelle mineral water, Suki fair-trade tea and Stornoway black pudding are just a few of the superior brands. There’s clearly a…
eatiBoutiquie
231 Berkeley Street, Finnieston,
Glasgow,
G3 7HH
Opened in late 2010, Eati Boutiquie has grown out of co-owners Rachel Suttle and Emma Paris’s pop-up vintage shop and wholesale cupcakes and bespoke catering business Made With Love Finnieston. Part deli-café, part retro style and hand-crafted goods…
Green Chilli Café
1293 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TL
Decorated in cappuccino browns, with bucket armchairs at round tables, Green Chilli Café creates an atmosphere that is tranquil and civilised. All the main courses are available in large portions; however, regular offers make the small, tapas dishes the…
The Little Café
1361 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8AF
With its smart interior of attractive polished wood and shiny white tiles, only the neatly stacked packets of pasta and tins of plum tomatoes gives any clue to the fact that the Little Café is actually a little Italian café – and good it is, too. The…
Sibbo's Delhi Dhabba
914 Sauchiehall Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7TF
This family-owned restaurant, which opened in 2004, is run by four brothers under the watchful eye of their mother Sibbo. There's much that's charming about the place, from the living room-sized dining area to the homely atmosphere. But Sibbo's Delhi…
