La Fiorentina
2 Paisley Road West,
Glasgow,
G51 1LE
Either wonderfully kitsch or reassuring old-fashioned, depending on your point of view, La Fiorentina presides over the junction of Govan Road and Paisley Road West like an eminent institution, particularly to its many regulars. Starters are presented…
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…
Church on the Hill
16 Algie Street,
Glasgow,
G41 3DJ
For someone who’s never seen it before, the Church on the Hill is pretty stunning – a refurbished church that looks like the Parthenon in Greece, facing on to Queen’s Park. It really is a lovely venue, and very popular with a cross-section of…
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…
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…
India Quay
181 Finnieston Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8HE
With impressive views of the Clyde Arc, aka squinty bridge, the north Punjabi-influenced cuisine at India Quay is well worth the trip to Finneston’s outskirts, while its seven-day pre-theatre menu makes it a perfect starting point for anyone attending a…
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…
The Sisters Kelvingrove
36 Kelvingrove Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7RZ
There’s little or no difference between the two Sisters in terms of food, service or prices, but where Jordanhill has the atmosphere of a casual neighbourhood restaurant, Kelvingrove looks and feels a lot more dressed-up. Although the O’Donnells have…
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…
City Café
Hilton Garden Inn, Finnieston Quay,
Glasgow,
G3 8HN
The City Café is a riverside hotel restaurant (under new ownership this year) boasting great riverside views and convenient proximity to concert venues. Servings are relatively small, so if ravenous then it’s probably best to plump for the full three…
Konaki Greek Taverna
920 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7TF
The menu at Konaki, located on Sauchiehall Street, is an embarrassment of Greek riches, all prepared with care and attention. While it may sound a bit much for a starter, the skordalia – mashed potato with garlic and olive oil – is delicious in its…
The Finnieston
1125 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8ND
As you enter the snug bar decked with rope bannisters, polished wood and boat motifs you could be in a sleepy fishing village pub rather than on the main Finnieston strip. This smarter, more grown up sister to Lebowskis down the road really does looks…
Ivy
1102–1106 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TD
From the street there’s little to see, but the heavy doors of the Ivy open into a small bar manned by some of the most enthusiastic staff you’ll meet in Glasgow. It plays host to six draft beers including the citrusy Joker IPA and more unusually 100…
Persia
665 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8RE
A wonderful wave of exotic scents hit you as you enter Persia, and the menu certainly offers a unique taste of the Orient. Start with the baba ghannouj, perfect in its consistency with just the right amount of garlic to give it a kick, or sample the…
Merrylee Road Bar and Kitchen
128 Merrylee Road,
Glasgow,
G44 3DL
Candles, soft lighting and a piano player give this neighbourhood brasserie something of a posh hotel lobby atmosphere. The service is warm and informal though, and a mainly local and family clientele mean the place is actually quite relaxed. The menu…
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…
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…
Lamora
1166–1170 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
Run by a father and son team Lamora's ethos is all about serving great food at a price that won't break the bank. The restaurant is a nice, large open space with very little clutter; however, postcards from regulars dotted about a couple of walls give a…
The Brasserie at Òran Mór
731–735 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8QX
Òran Mór – a multi-space arts and social venue formed from a grand old church at the top of Byres Road – is something of a hub in the cultural life of Glasgow’s West End. Hidden below the busy main bar, though, the Brasserie feels like something of an…
The 78
10–14 Kelvinhaugh Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8NU
This charming laid-back café/bar has the feel of a country house – set incongruously just off Argyle Street. A long bar dominates the rustically informal room with a line of aged wooden tables, an open fireplace and comfy armchairs hogging its large…
The Butchershop Bar & Grill
1055 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7UD
A warm welcome awaits at this comfortably stylish bar and grill, and so it should: the general manager once worked Andrew Fairlie's front of house. In the kitchen the CVs are no less impressive, with head chef Alex Thain having trained with Gordon…
The Bank Café Bar
443 Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 3LL
The Maclay Inns group, five of whose premises are featured in this section, tend to choose interesting buildings for their ventures that add a nice bit of character. In the case of The Bank it is, indeed, a former bank, now popular residential café/bar…
Café Andaluz
2 Cresswell Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
Glasgow’s original of two Café Andaluz restaurants is notable for its unique West End location – nestled down rustic wooden steps below Cresswell Lane’s quaint cobbles. Inside, it’s all Moorish blue, white terracotta tiles, stained-glass lanterns…
Bobar

Glasgow,
G12 8AU
Attached to the Bovine restaurant, Bobar provides a classy drinking haven to escape the hustle and bustle of Byres Road. Lauded for its cocktails, the bar has an extensive menu that does not disappoint, the ‘Pocket Pear’ standing out among a list that…
Hillhead Bookclub
17 Vinicombe Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8BE
There are not many places you can indulge in cocktail served in an old gramophone, but that is just one of the many quirky traits that ensures the Hillhead Bookclub is counted among the West End’s coolest hangouts. Food is of a very high standard, 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…
Firebird
1321 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TL
A West End institution over the past decade or so, Firebird has always been known primarily for its pizzas (which can be bought to takeaway). Hand-made and cooked in a wood-fired oven, giving them a faint smokey flavour, they are thin and crispy with an…
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…
Mother India's Café
1355 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8AD
It’s not uncommon to see queues of hungry diners outside this tapas-style take on Indian cuisine, highlighting both its popularity and the fact it doesn’t take bookings. But don’t let a short wait put you off – there’s always the grandeur of Kelvingrove…
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…
Curlers Rest
256–260 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8SH
A far cry from its past-life as a student boozer, Curlers Rest is now a sophisticated hang-out with an equally grown-up menu. The reasonably priced, high-quality food provides a pleasant surprise for those who remember the bar being dominated by cheap…
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…
Nachos
15 Skirving Street,
Glasgow,
G41 3AB
Nachos is the Southside’s newest and only Mexican restaurant, located upstairs in a spacious open-plan dining room, well suited to couples, groups and families, where Mexico’s cultural and architectural icons are illustrated in colourful spray-painted…
Ashoka Ashton Lane
19 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
You’d be forgiven for thinking you had stepped back in time upon entering the charming Ashton Lane branch of the popular Ashoka chain. Things haven’t changed much since they first opened their doors 20 years ago – but that’s exactly the point, they…
The Grosvenor Café
The Grosvenor Theatre, Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
Located above the well-known Ashton Lane cinema, the Grosvenor is a bar which captures the atmosphere of the film experience. A large projector screen plays out silent pictures throughout the day, while the bar’s décor harks back to the cinematic…
Ketchup
44 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
Cynics may muse that Ketchup is Stefan King’s attempt to ‘start them early’ into the G1 mind-set, as the burgers and milkshakes ethos is clearly aimed at both students and children alike. Whatever ethos lies behind it, it is clearly working, as 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…
Masala Twist
192–194 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8SN
A relative newcomer to Glasgow’s curry scene, Masala Twist certainly manages to hold its own, pulling some surprising punches. The staff instantly make you feel welcome, in a genuine, honest, and natural manner. Split over two small floors, the…
Paperino's
227 Byres Road, Glasgow,
Glasgow,
G12 8UD
With two City Centre venues and a branch in the West End, Paperino’s has become a byword for quick and easy Italian food. The original Sauchiehall Street branch is most intimate, with wooden booths, dim lights and terracotta tiles, while the newer St…
Banana Leaf
76B Old Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G3 8RE
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…
Stravaigin 2
8 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
The younger Stravaigin, located near Byers Road, is an invitingly intimate space if lacking something of the character and quirkiness of the original. The food, however, is all you expect: imaginative combinations from around the globe impressively…
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…
La Vita Spuntini
199–201 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TN
Italian tapas is an intriguing concept, with the menu at La Vita Spuntini offering a host of small mix-and-match meat, fish and vegetable dishes, larger bowls of pasta for sharing, and dinky ‘pizzettes’. Duck and black pudding in red currant jus is…
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…
La Brava
679a Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 3SE
La Brava has been serving Southsiders for a couple of years, and the fact it's always busy is testament to chef's use of the finest and freshest ingredients, as well as to an exceptionally friendly welcome. Owners Aris and Rico have managed to create…
Balbir's Saffron Lounge
61 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
With mood-lighting, dark décor and a grand piano opposite an oak bar, this deceptively large Shawlands restaurant doesn’t feel like an Indian, but that’s part of its charm. And charming it is, with candles on tables and jazz on the stereo while in the…
Bellini
67 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
Bellini is a lovely little pocket of Italy in the heart of Shawlands. Almost all the staff are Italian and, beef aside, all produce is from Italy, and with no freezer on the premises, everything is fresh. Thanks to this the restaurant has a faithful…
Chow
98 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
Recent renovations to Chow have highlighted the importance in remaining contemporary and fresh in the cut-throat dining arena that is Byres Road. A geisha now adorns the back wall, while an eclectic mix of stylish music can be detected in the…
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…
Balbir's
7 Church Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5JP
Balbir Sumal’s years of experience in catering for Glasgow’s curry lovers distinctively shines through in this eponymous West End branch. It may feel more like an upmarket European eatery, but the appetizing aromas that assault you as you enter firmly…
The Common Rooms
71–77 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5HN
Having recently been taken over by new owners, the Common Rooms is looking to re-assert itself in the West End. Spruced up, with a brand new fixed-priced menu and a whole array of live entertainment, it appears ready to compete with the densely…
Rice and Noodle
96 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
With its small frontage, minimal seating and proximity to pubs, Rice and Noodle could easily be categorised as your standard, run-of-the-mill takeaway outlet. An extensive menu with few surprises, all at moderate prices, further suggests this eatery is…
Rasoi Indian Kitchen
120 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NY
Having changed its name last year, Rasoi is now run by a family with years of experience throughout the city. The décor is low key, with the emphasis on a café-style approach. The prices are also more café than restaurant –but don’t be fooled, this is a…
Tony Macaroni
4 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5JY
With several branches in and around Glasgow, the most recent being the Merchant City venue in the classy setting of the Italian Centre, and with a sisterly relationship with ice-cream supremo Nardini's, Tony Macaroni is a busy man. The three levels…
The Two Figs
5 and 9 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5RD

Bruadar
The Millhouse, 2 Partickbridge Street,
Glasgow,
G11 6PL
Opened in late 2011, Bruadar is an attractive, minimalistic venue over two floors with bench seating downstairs and a more intimate mezzanine, all flooded with light from the large window. Theirs is a simple enough formula – beer and a burger – but with…
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…
Cottier's
93–95 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PX
Stencils on the walls, fairy lights and candles add plenty of character and atmosphere to proceedings in this converted church. Service is genuinely warm and helpful while suitably informal given the relaxed surroundings. The carpaccio of Inverurie beef…
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…
La Famiglia
111 Cleveden Road,
Glasgow,
G12 0JU
Upon entering La Famiglia you encounter a truly inviting atmosphere – often attempted elsewhere, rarely achieved. The smart interior is intimate but nicely proportioned, unlikely to ever make for a cramped dining experience, particularly with…
Cafe Source Too
Hillhead Sports Club, 32 Hughenden Road,
Glasgow,
G12 9XP
You might expect isotonic drinks and granola bars from the café at Hillhead Sports Club, but with the arrival of Café Source to run the kitchen there’s a rather more indulgent and ambitious offering to tempt you in. As at the original St Andrews in the…
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…
Nick’s
168 Hyndland Road,
Glasgow,
G12 9HZ
It’s love at first sight at Nick’s – what a stunning interior, all exposed brickwork, dark wood, slightly industrial, Brooklyn-loft kind of vibe. A newcomer to Hyndland Road, having opened in late 2009, it takes over the site of the unique…
Clark & Sons
14 Busby Road, Clarkston Toll,
Glasgow,
G76 7XL
Located in the deep south of Clarkston, Clarke & Sons is a spacious, relaxed venue with a sort of ‘executive airport lounge’ feel, that garners a heavy following both as a bar and eaterie. It’s not cheap, but dishes have a touch of extravagance, and…
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…
1901
1534 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G43 1RF
Though a little removed from the main Shawlands dining strip the value of the food along with the decidedly relaxed and jovial atmosphere at this unassuming corner pub and bistro make it worth the venture. New owner Graham Sutherland, who also has the…
The Partners Italian Bistro
1051 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 0XP
This classy looking bistro tucked away near Anniesland offers an upmarket experience within a highly stylised, spacious interior. A lovely buttery, rich crab fettucine is a great opener, but though the dolcelatte soufflé is in itself satisfying, the…
The Balcony Cafe
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…

450 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6SE

Ian Brown Food and Drink
55 Eastwoodmains Road,
Glasgow,

Wee Cucina
205 Fenwick Road,
Glasgow,
G46 6JD
Wee Cucina opened in spring 2011, quickly becoming a popular choice with local diners. As it says, it's small – but with an intimacy perfect for couples in the evening, whereas go at tea-time and it is family friendly. An enticing menu of Italian tapas…
Bibi's Cantina
599 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6HY
It’s often said that if you venture off the beaten track you’ll find treasures. This is true of Bibi’s – a cosy candlelit bistro offering fresh authentic Mexican-inspired cuisine at the west end of Dumbarton Road, but just a stroll from Partick Station.

House for an Art Lover, Bellahouston Park, 10 Dumbreck Road,
Glasgow,
G41 5BW

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…
Wee Lochan
340 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT
A good local restaurant gives its neighbourhood exactly what it wants, and at Wee Lochan, Aisla and Rupert Staniforth are hitting the nail on the head for Broomhill. A restaurant-café-bar in a pretty much pub-free zone, with a casual, family-friendly…
Brasserie 19
19 New Kirk Road, Bearsden,
Glasgow,
G61 3SJ
The Partners restaurants are renowned in Glasgow for good food, accessible pricing and stylish-yet-relaxed venues. Brasserie 19 is like a Bearsden version of what was Tattie Macs (now Crabby Macs). However, to accommodate locals it serves up breakfasts…
Bar Milano
2 Mains Avenue, Eastwood Toll,
Glasgow,
G46 6QZ
From its pleasantly neutral décor and friendly service to the suburban location, Bar Milano ticks all the boxes for a comfortable neighbourhood trattoria. It’s housed in a converted bank but where such buildings often possess a cold grandeur, the…
Mhor Fish
75-77 Main Street,
Callander,
FK17 8DX
To call Mhor Fish a chippie is like saying that U2 have released the odd song. It may have a fantastic chippie on site, but this seafood oasis right in the heart of the hill shrouded Trossachs town of Callander has much more to offer. With the family…
Den Bar & Restaurant
128 Drymen Road, Bearsden,
Glasgow,
G61 3RB
When opening in December 2011, the Den wanted to bring a little bit of the West End to deepest darkest suburbia. They’ve succeeded: it's a funky place to hang out, have a drink and a bite to eat. Overtones of the swinging sixties can be found in 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…
The Kitchen Restaurant
Pollok House, Pollok Country Park, 2060 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G43 1AT

Dance with Attitude Studios, 1120 South Street,
Glasgow,
G14 0AP

St Fillans,
Perthshire,

The Sorn Inn
35 Main Street,
Sorn,
Ayrshire,
KA5 6HU

Fusion
2 Hopeton Street,
Gourock,
Inverclyde,
PA19 1PG
Despite its inauspicious location above a pub, Fusion is well worth making the effort to find. It’s no secret to the Gourock locals who regularly fill the place, meaning that a booking's worthwhile if you are coming from further afield. The restaurant…

Clachan,
Cairndow,
PA26 8BL
