Tinderbox
118 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1EJ
Tinderbox’s original Byres Road coffeshop café opened in 1998 but the interior still feels contemporary and enticing. No food is prepared on the premises though, with savoury options being either pre-prepared sandwiches or salad/noodle bowls. It’s an…
Fressh
51-53 Cochrane Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1HL
Fressh is just off George Square, and a refreshing antidote to some of the big commerical outfits in the area. It serves a limited menu but does it very well. Soups are always excellent, and the sandwich fillings are fresh and colourful if a little…
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…
Stewart's Victorian Tea Rooms
89 Glassford Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1UH
Drinking tea and all the rituals that go with it may be back in fashion but that’s where Stewart’s association with what’s 'current' ends. Everything, from the classical music on loop to the cake-stands and the royal portraits on the walls harks back to…
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…
Cranberry's
30 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1SS
One of the best things about whiling away an afternoon in Cranberry’s is that its huge, clean, picture windows mean that it’s a great place to admire some of the highlights of the Merchant City’s architecture. But there are other good things as well…
Peckham's
61–65 Glassford Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1UB
Peckham’s was once the go-to Merchant City deli, packed with pâtés, Scottish fruit cordials, olive oils and as fine a selection of wines as you could find in Glasgow. But it has suffered in recent years – and many competitors have stepped into the…
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…
Amalfi Pizzeria
148 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RQ
This small but enduringly popular restaurant is handily located in the City Centre and well placed for theatre and cinema goers. The galley kitchen and expansive windows create a welcoming atmosphere for diners. Valpolicella proves great value among the…
Bread and Butter
74 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
Ducking down the fairylight-festooned alley off Buchanan Street that leads to Bread and Butter makes you feel like a real in-the-know local. By night, it's a chill-out zone for the nightclub downstairs, but by day it's the place to hit for a nourishing…
Fit Food Bistro
Tiso Glasgow Outdoor Experience, 50 Coupar Street,
Glasgow,
G4 0DL
A pleasing antidote to the chips-with-everything culture, Fit Food prides itself, as the name suggests, in offering wholesome sandwiches, light meals and snacks. Which is perhaps no more than you would expect, located as it is in Tiso’s outdoor activity…
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…
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…
Fifi and Ally
51–52 Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Fifi and Ally may have a reputation as a girly cup-cake café but its coffee is strong, rich and memorable and their menu reveals a deep source of local produce and home-made delicacies. The warm chèvre salad with beetroot and butternut squash (one of…
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…
November
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JX
Situated right at the top of Princes Square, November is a light, airy cocktail bar and café which offers seating 'outside' on the balcony, looking down to the shops below, or under the interior's cupola. It offers a variety of dishes to tempt wearied…
Tinderbox
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Tinderbox’s original Byres Road coffeshop café opened in 1998 but the interior still feels contemporary and enticing. No food is prepared on the premises though, with savoury options being either pre-prepared sandwiches or salad/noodle bowls. It’s an…
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…
The 13th Note Café/Bar
50–60 King Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5QT
As befits a busy live venue, 13th note has a cool and funky vibe that attracts music and arts lovers of all ages. A cavernous red room with large windows hosts the bar area with the café perched a few stairs up at the back. The mood of the room changes…
Entrading
88 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2QZ
From the outside, it looks like your average surf and homeware shop, but inside Entrading is stuffed sustainable and ethical household goods: everything from dishwasher tablets to the dishwasher itself (completely recyclable, natch). There's also a…
