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…
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…
Thai Lemongrass
24 Renfrew Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3BW
Thai Lemongrass exudes an almost spa-like calm. Ceiling fans rotate hypnotically, ushering a cool breeze along cushioned booths; meditative lights shine through intricate wood carvings. Staff are genteel, making you feel pampered as they explain the…
Fanny Trollopes
1066 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8LY
The narrow dining room here has only a handful of tables, and the feeling is genuinely relaxed and warm. As you browse through the menu, staff may offer to tell you the story of Fanny – or perhaps discuss the eclectic range of art and ceramics that…
Grassroots Café
93–97 St Georges Road,
Glasgow,
G3 6JA
This café/restaurant is worth a small diversion off the well-beaten track of Woodlands Road; its creative menu (with blackboard specials, too) and relaxed atmosphere are of a higher calibre than the usual vegetarian operation. Purple curtains divide…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
Style and elegance radiate throughout this justifiably renowned restaurant, from the small bistro-style area on the ground floor to the more formal room upstairs, with its comfortably used wooden tables, subdued lighting and wood panelling. It is a…
Mother India's Cellar
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
Tucked below street level down a spiral staircase from the main Mother India foyer is Mother India's Cellar. It's decorated in the style of a hip and trendy wine bar with clean white walls, semi-open kitchen and exposed masonry, and the atmosphere still…
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…
The Wee Curry Shop
23 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
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…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
The long-established Bay Tree likes to keep things fairly simple, with its unassuming layout and Middle Eastern knick-knacks around the walls. The same goes for its menu, which comprises a mixture of Arabian, Mediterranean and European dishes at…
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…
Ashoka at the Quay
The Quay, Springfield Quay,
Glasgow,
G5 8NP
Formerly Masala Jak's, this restaurant has taken on the basic branding of the Harlequin Group in the past year or so. The venue has modern décor with an open kitchen and wooden tables, and the opportunity to dine overlooking the Clyde. The competitively…
CCA Bar and Café
350 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3JD
The Centre for Contemporary Arts, a cultural oasis amid Sauchiehall Street's noisy parade of bars and clubs, is the place to come if you're after a coffee or a meal without selling out to The Man – the café uses fair trade and organic produce wherever…
Kokuryo
1138 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TD
When faced with handfuls of fresh chillies alongside dried chilli peppers in what seems like a never-ending bowl of beef soup (a starter so intense, it might take until dessert time to finish), it's clear that the chef isn't holding anything back.
Neelim
1590 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G14 9DB
Most of the visitors to this well established Scotstoun restaurant live nearby. The venue has a no-frills approach to décor, but it is comfortable and welcoming, with subdued lighting. The modest interior belies an extensive menu, offering well-executed…
Torna Sorrento
148 Woodlands Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 6LF
Following a change of ownership in summer 2006, the homely, family-run style of Torna Sorrento has been dropped in favour of a more contemporary, straightforward approach, with a pared-down menu of Italian classics. Descriptions of dishes are similarly…
Where the Monkey Sleeps
182 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RU
At WTMS, street-smart staff behind the counter cheerfully take orders from office-workers, students and the assorted hipsters who descend the steps to this basement café with comfy mismatched sofas. Inked on a giant whiteboard, the epic menu offers a…
The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7AR
At this independent restaurant (which, despite its name, is not part of the Harlequin chain), lively hen parties and office groups tend to head for the 'curry karaoke' below street level, while the main dining space, branded the Ashoka Flame, offers a…
Café Cherubini
360 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HT
From the outside, Café Cherubini resembles a local café from a European indie film in which bookish characters sip coffee in the windows, framed by gold lettering and drawings of chubby angels. Inside, the couple in charge are wholly genuine with an air…
Camerons
Glasgow Hilton, 1 William Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8HT
Recently refurbished and under the new management of the hyper-efficient William Leslie Birch, Camerons – situated in a ground-floor corner of Glasgow's high-rise Hilton – has ditched its fusty Scottish country house past for dark wood fittings and bold…
The Greek Golden Kebab
34 Sinclair Drive,
Glasgow,
G42 9QE
Those unfamiliar with this Southside favourite might think the Greek Golden Kebab is a loving pastiche of a bygone age. Trellises between the six compact booths display fake vines and souvenirs, while tourist board photos of the owners' Cypriot homeland…
Jade Garden
303 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ
Without being able to point it out on a map, many Glaswegians will be vaguely aware of Jade Garden, its bright pink sign having been part of the Sauchiehall Street fascia for what seems like forever. Those who haven't visited the restaurant behind could…
North Star
108 Queen Margaret Drive,
Glasgow,
G20 8NZ
North Star has a decidedly open-door policy, sometimes more literally so than you might like. But this small café/shop is a beacon in the hinterland between Byres Road and Maryhill, welcoming those who need sustenance from early morning until late…
