Café Pop
657 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8RE
The décor of the petite Café Pop may be inspired by 1960's Kitsch but there remains a fresh and contemporary approach to both its food and atmosphere. Sandwiches use bread freshly baked daily by local producers, and it’s the same with the array of…
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…
Heart Buchanan
380 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8AR
The small and perfectly formed Heart Buchanan offers some of the poshest takeaway food around. Dishes are made fresh each day with local produce, and the menu changes just as regularly. For a light snack there is soup and focaccia, salads and pastas…
Heart Buchanan
380 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8AR
This popular Byres Road deli-café may need to install revolving doors for the owners, having changed hands in late 2011 and due again at the time of this visit. None of that upheaval seems to have dimmed its ability to provide delicious food with an…
Booly Mardy's
28 Vinicombe Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8BE
Attracting the West End’s young professionals is a tough task thanks to the multitude of slick bars in the area, but Booly Mardys appears to have cracked the formula. Teeming with patrons at the weekends, the bar prides itself on the quality of its…
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…
Montgomery's Coffee House
9 Radnor Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7UE
The relentless traffic on the busy streets of Argyle and Sauchiehall might distract an unwary passer-by from noticing this whimsically elegant coffee house tucked between these arterial city routes. On the other side of huge double-height windows, a…
Buongiorno
1012 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G41 2HG
A daytime café, takeaway and night time restaurant, Buongiorno has been an established part of the Southside eating-out scene for over a decade. It has the feel of a café you come across in Italy, complete with a picture of the Italian national football…
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…
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…
S'mug
167 Great George Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8AQ
Under new management since this review was written.
S'mug is a ‘New York-style deli and coffee house’ that was opened in 2008 under the name of Pico by Gordon Richardson, founder of Beanscene. Situated just off Byres Road near Ashton Lane, it catches…
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…
Café Red
291 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TL
Café Red is the new venture from the Southside curry house Shimla Pink’s. Slap-bang in the middle of Byres Road, Café Red is a cosy little space – red-patterned wallpaper, high stools and low leather couches, with a mezzanine for extra seating that…
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…
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…
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.
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…
Nardini's
215 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8UD
The famous ice-cream seller Nardini's of Largs has come to the big city and set up in the heart of the West End with an attractive art deco-styled café – like a temple to the ice-cream sundae which people are coming to worship at in huge numbers since…
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…
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…
3 Steps 2 Heaven
221 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8UD
This café offers a range of breakfast options, such as bacon toastie, pancakes, eggs, plus lunchtime paninis, baguettes and sandwiches, yet they all play second fiddle to the range of delicious ice-creams on offer. With around 16 flavours to choose from…
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…
Tinderbox
189 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TS
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…
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…
GSC Café
50 Pacific Quay,
Glasgow,
G51 1EA
Seemingly lifting itself out of the Clyde like a great silver-scaled beast, Glasgow Science Centre is a child's wonderland of levers and buttons and things that whirr and ping. The near-constant clatter and wail of kids learning and having fun can make…
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…
Tribeca
102 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
With a name like Tribeca, after the area of New York, the Americana inside – not to mention the yellow taxi and NYPD cruiser parked outside – should come as little surprise. Pictures of Manhattan street scenes, wooden tables (rather crammed in) and a…
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…
Cafezique
66 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PT
Fun, unpretentious, quality, value and, tasty are the adjectives which apply to cafezique. Service is informal, but friendly and attentive in this quirky laid back bar/restauraunt. Nibbly things include great olives and delicious cheese fondue…
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…
Cherry and Heather Fine Foods
7 North Gower Street,
Glasgow,
G51 1PW
An oasis of fine, healthy foods with a touch of style and Asian flavour in the heart of Cessnock. No doubt a magnet for local office workers (and hotel residents a hop across the river) who would otherwise have to travel a lot farther to find…
279 Café Bistro
279 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6AB
This smart little bistro lies on the busy Dumbarton road just a few door along from the library, unsurprisingly at number 279. During the day the Italian-influenced menu offers sandwiches, ciabattas, homemade pizzas, or a generously portioned steak and…
Jelly Hill Cafe/Bar
195 Hyndland Road,
Glasgow,
G12 9HT
It’s been ten years since Jelly Hill opened, but it still feels that little bit different and innovative. The relaxed ambience is somewhere between a café and a bar, giving it a pleasing continental vibe. The friendly and efficient staff are encouraged…
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…
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…
Riverside Café
Riverside Museum, 100 Pointhouse Place,
Glasgow,
G3 8RS
Located at the back of the museum, the Riverside café serves polished renditions of popular classics. One wall is given over to glass, with a view of the Tall Ship, while the others are a zingy shade of lime green. Add in the double-height ceiling…
Papa Gill's
337 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6AL
Papa Gill’s is a modest Indian catering to the Dumbarton Road locals and late night drinkers of Partick. Set on two floor the small restaurant is functional rather than traditional and is popular with an older crowd especially during the day when the…
Upstairs @ The Glasgow Climbing Centre, 534 Paisley Road West,
Glasgow,
G51 1RN
It isn't completely about the ambience inside this converted late-1800s church – the food and coffee are good as well – but it is no doubt its USP. A wrought-iron spiral staircase leads up to a cosy, laid-back space where the view is of a mesmerising…
The Hyndland Café
96 Clarence Drive,
Glasgow,
G12 9RN
Hyndland Café is the kind of local café that could entice you to move if you’re not already within its reach. This is the classic all-day-breakfast diner but done with charm, a cosy ambience, and a welcome streak of individuality. It’s hard not to feel…
St Louis Cafe Bar
734 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 7RD
This family-run café-bar originally opened as just a café, but as its evening popularity grew so did its modest menu. The venue is as welcoming as a good friend’s living room with Klimt prints, fairy lights wrapped around pillars and an aged wooden…
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…
Cafe Circa
322 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G11 7HS
Café Circa is a café with a twist as it also doubles up as a showroom and shop for various antiques and collectibles. If that leaves you picturing somewhere musty and dusty then you needn’t fear, it’s bright, airy, and welcoming. The retro theme does…
The Kitchen Restaurant
Pollok House, Pollok Country Park, 2060 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G43 1AT
There’s a genteel air about the Kitchen Restaurant at Pollok House, as befits its location in the Edwardian kitchen of this gracious 18th-century family home, now run by the National Trust. There’s an enormous black range, terracotta tiled floor and…
LUV Café
1121 Govan Road,
Glasgow,
G51 4RX
There's plenty to love about LUV Café. Linthouse Urban Village is a regeneration scheme involving local people in various worthy projects, all community-based. What also sets this café apart though is its physical appearance – its angle location on a…
