Coia's Café
473–477 Duke Street, Glasgow, G31 1RD
An institution in the heart of the East End since 1928, Coia's Café is run by third generation Scots-Italian Alfredo Coia, easily identifiable by his smart braces. Coia's is one of only three licensed eateries on the Duke Street strip – and rarely…
Black Poppy
47–49 Stonelaw Road, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73 3TN
The Black Poppy may not be the only café in the area to serve espresso but it must be unique in offering eight flavours of balsamic vinegar to accompany salads. It exudes community spirit and, as well as hosting events with local businesses – including…
Tibo
443 Duke Street, Dennistoun, Glasgow, G31 1RY
As the paper lanterns bob gently in the breeze from the ceiling fans and soulful tunes play, you enter a spiritual oasis on Duke Street at Tibo. Everything about the place is calming. Angus MacLeod at the helm likes to keep things this way. Dishes are…
Café Gandolfi
64 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1NY
If one restaurant can take credit for Stornoway black pudding becoming ubiquitous on the menus of contemporary Scotland this is the one. Back when the dish was deemed little more than offal Gandolfi was serving it on drop scones with mushrooms, inspired…
Café Source
1 St Andrew's Square, Glasgow, G1 5PP
This large space beneath the St Andrew’s In The Square church has been sensitively designed to accommodate quiet meals in the leather booths while catering comfortably for families and large parties. Black and white photographs of musicians are a nod to…
Lily's
103 Ingram Street, Glasgow, G1 1DX
Tucked away in Merchant City, Lily’s may look like your average café from the outside but the menu tells a different story. Successfully combining paninis, burgers and baked potatoes with Chinese dishes, the noodle soup sprinkled with roast sesame seeds…
Rose and Grants
27 Trongate, Merchant City, Glasgow, G1 5EZ
A welcome addition to Argyle Street's eastern end – an already interesting arty area that has for long held so much potential – recently opened Rose and Grants Trongate is the sister café to its namesake in Milngavie. Bright and spacious, with a couch…
Trans-Europe Café
25 Parnie Street, Glasgow, G1 5RJ
The retro Trans-Europe Café, fitted out with bus seats, board games and roadmaps, may be playful in appearance but it is very serious about the food served up. On the menu are imaginative dishes brought in by former Ubiquitous Chip chef Andy Stewart…
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…
Cranachan
Unit 51, Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street, Glasgow, G1 3JN
Creamy Cranachan. If a place can be judged on its signature dish then Cranachan is sweet and indulgent, perhaps lacking in a few ingredients. The theme is overall Scottish with quality, locally sourced fish, beef and cheese aplenty, which comes in…
Café Hula
321 Hope Street, Glasgow, G2 3PT
It isn't Morocco and it ain't hot outside but somewhere just north of Sauchiehall St, time moves a bit more slowly. For a long, lingering coffee and some people-watching through the huge windows, this is ideal. But Hula does meals, too, and a loyal core…
Café Wander
110a West George Street, Glasgow, G2 1QJ
First of all, it'd be easily done, but a shame to wander past Café Wander's City Centre venue, situated as it is below street level. This basement cosiness, combined with friendly staff, give it a happy and relaxed vibe that's quite unique. The hearty…
Martha's
142a St Vincent Street, Glasgow, G2 5LQ
Goodness, in a word. Created with care and calculation (every nutritional detail is shown on the menu) by real chefs, Martha’s moreish menu proves to the as-yet unconverted that healthy can mean hearty. The menu is seasonal but may include everything…
Laurie's
127 Hope Street, Glasgow, G2 6PE
With its no-nonsense décor and various-shades-of-beige colour scheme, Laurie's may at first sight seem a functional place for busy office workers to grab a routine filled roll. Closer inspection reveals its creative side, however: the sandwiches…
Café Cosmo
Glasgow Film Theatre, 12 Rose Street, Glasgow, G3 6RB
Just as the cinematic offerings at the GFT are a million miles from the standard multiplex fare, so is the café a welcome departure from harshly lit popcorn pushers and hot dog dispensers. It’s a cosy haven, with low lighting, dark blue walls and a…
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…
Saramago Café Bar
CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3JD
Occupying a light, airy atrium in the heart of the CCA, Saramago draws a bohemian crowd – you’re more likely to find an up-and-coming conceptual artist or filmmaker at the next table than a weary Sauchiehall Street shopper. The menu is a tour of mostly…
Cafe D'Jaconelli
570 Maryhill Road, Glasgow, G20 7EE
Established in 1924, Café d’Jaconelli is the oldest surviving business on Maryhill Road and one of Glasgow’s oldest cafes. Not only that, it was also used as a location in the film Trainspotting and even in a Blue Nile music video, too. Nestled close to…
No 1 Chocolate Factory
63 St Georges Road, Glasgow, G3 6JA
The idea behind this new venture from brothers Chris and James Davie is to offer an experience that’s equally as enjoyable for kids as it is for adults. Kids can head through to a backroom and experiment with moulding and decorating their own chocolate…
Bocadillo
569 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G3 7PQ
Just a block away from the M8 end of Sauchiehall Street, this smart sandwich bar is in the perfect location to service the requirements of local business folk looking for a quick bite – and by the number of suits grabbing rolls, salads and coffee it’s…
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…
Tramway Café Bar
25 Albert Drive, Glasgow, G41 2PE
Tramway’s been part of Glasgow’s arts landscape for over 20 years now, and is still evolving. At any time it might play host to a challenging art installation, a dance project for mixed abilities or a mother and baby meet-up. The café clientele reflects…
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…
Sonny & Vito's
52 Park Road, Glasgow, G4 9JG
Walking into Sonny & Vito’s can make you forget that you’re in Scotland. This appealing deli-café’s shelves are stocked with all manner of epicurean delights from Italy and the wider Mediterranean area, and this feeling of continental culinary…
Tapa Coffeehouse
721 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, G41 2AA
Tapa encapsulates every wannabe cafe owner's pipe dream: own bakery and roasting house ensuring freshness of house staples? Check. Home-made cakes and locally sourced ingredients? Check. All of which is more than enough to ensure a returning fanbase.
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…
An Clachan
Off La Belle Place, Glasgow, G3 7LH
Following an inspired renovation of a disused Kelvingrove playground shelter, An Clachan is a charming, independently owned café with a well-considered ethos. Everything is prepared on site, sourced responsibly and, even more impressively, 100 per cent…
Brown Sugar
48 Battlefield Road, Glasgow, G42 9QH
Brown Sugar is bright and breezy and brings a welcome healthy glow to the immediate vicinity where chain cafés and regular takeaways abound. Open for just four months (at the time of press), the young sibling owners insist that they are still 'finding…
Arcaffe
7 North Claremont Street, Glasgow, G3 7NR
Tucked into a side street joining nearby offices to Kelvingrove Park, Arcaffe is an unassuming and friendly little Italian bistro, with tables on the pavement outside and large windows for catching the midday sun. Bustling with a mix of young families…
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…
Moyra Jane's
20 Kildrostan Street, Glasgow, G41 4LU
Its rather twee name remains but this established café located in a wonderful old corner bank building – all dark wood panels and round marble tables – was recently transformed by new owners into the perfect low-lit night-time Parisian-style bistro…
La Tea Doh
136 Nithsdale Road, Glasgow, G41 5RB
In a world without supermarkets, La Tea Doh would be just the sort of local one-stop café/shop to visit daily … and indulge in a sugary treat too. Among the other groceries (including an impressive tea selection), deli treats and organic goodies, they…
iKafe
138 Nithsdale Road, Glasgow, G41 5RB
Ikafe has been popular with Southsiders for over a decade now, and seems to remain so all day long. The menu is extensive and although the choices can sometimes be predictable, the place has a character that is anything but. Certain sweet and savoury…
Piece
1056 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8LY
How enthusiastic is it possible to be about the humble sandwich? A visit to Piece reveals the answer: hugely. From the jokey pavement chalkboard to the quick-fire banter from busy staff and the pumping dub and reggae, the ethos is to get customers…
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…
Naked Soup
6 Kersland Street, Glasgow, G12 8BL
This family-owned café close to the Botanics is doing its bit to keep the residents of the West End well-nourished and healthy. If that sounds boring, then it shouldn’t. A selection of enticing freshly made regular and seasonal soups are always on the…
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…
KG Café
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Kelvingrove Park, Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8AG
Housed in the basement of the iconic Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, KG Café is an airy, welcoming space. Justly popular with tourists and families, and particularly busy at weekends, it’s well worth booking ahead. The most coveted tables are in 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…
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…
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…
Cushion & Cake
35 Old Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, G3 8RD
From the enticing window decoration with its hanging birdcages wrapped in silk bows, to the colourful arts and crafts work from local and UK designers that fill the walls, there's little doubt this attractive little café will appeal to the aesthetic in…
The Waverley Tea Room
18 Moss Side Road, Glasgow, G41 3TN
This is perhaps the best of the G1 Group’s Southside outposts, as popular with early-rising families for its coffee and kids' play area as it is with evening revellers for its late licence, strong choice of beers and ten wines by the glass. It’s also…
Kember & Jones Fine Food Emporium
134 Byres Road, Glasgow, G12 8TD
Situated in the heart of foodie West End on Byres Road, Kember & Jones is an upmarket café-deli with a good line in kitchenware and books too, with an interior that manages that elusive blend of elegant and cosy. The menu mixes the contemporary with…
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…
Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road, Glasgow, G41 3YR
From the street Bella Napoli looks like a run-of-the-mill Italian deli, but discerning food lovers know that through the back, past the racks of wine and tins of olives, is a reliable restaurant of some worth. While the front cafe offers casual…
Café JJ
180 Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, G11 6XE
Modest and homely, Café JJ has been a familiar little haven on Partick Cross for more than 25 years. Inside is dark wood and cream, worn pine tables, blackboards with the specials along one wall and fairy lights framing the plate glass windows. During…
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…
The Rio Café
27 Hyndland Street, Glasgow, G11 5QF
The Rio Café’s 1950s diner-style décor and vibe has made it something of an institution in Glasgow’s West End, and it’s menu offers up tempting options whether you’re in for breakfast, lunch, or just a snack. The burgers come large and tasty, and even a…
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…
