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…
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…
Ian Brown Food and Drink
55 Eastwoodmains Road,
Glasgow,
G46 6PW
Down in distant (for most of us) Giffnock, husband-and-wife team Ian and Sheila Brown run a restaurant that merits a journey from anywhere in Glasgow, and most points beyond. Formerly head chef at the Ubiquitous Chip, Ian produces food that's…
Guy's Restaurant & Bar
24 Candleriggs, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LD
It's almost certainly worth booking at this well-established Merchant City favourite. At the end of the bar, the dining area is bright and buzzy, with some of the tables quite close together – more suited to social rather than intimate dining. Service…
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.
Boteco do Brasil
62 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
Inside this lively bohemian hangout the carnival atmosphere hits you. Brazilian flags and bold cultural murals set the scene while large screens ensure you don’t miss any footie action while supping a Brahma beer or caipirinha – Brazil’s national…
28–30 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX
As this place pops up in most Glasgow guides, many a nationality can be found rubbing shoulders with die-hard regulars enjoying interesting Scottish produce given an international twist. Stravaigin’s well-known branding is ‘think local, eat global’. The…
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…
Stereo
20-28 Renfield Lane,
Glasgow,
G2 5AR
Although it’s hard to catch the full vista from the narrow lane, Stereo is housed in a superb Charles Rennie Mackintosh-designed building, all exterior white tiles and square windows with double doors opening into a leisurely eating and drinking space…
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…
42 Jamaica Street,
Glasgow,
G1 4QG
At this time last year the upstairs eating section of MacSorley’s was going for a full-blown, fine-dining approach. The food was great, but the juxtaposition of such cuisine in an old-school pub, albeit a music-focused one with a young clientele, was…
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…
Battlefield Rest
55 Battlefield Road,
Glasgow,
G42 9JL
Prepare for your senses to go into overdrive when you visit this gem of a restaurant. It's brimming with tables, diners and waiters, and if you could bottle the atmosphere then you’d surely be able to sell it, if only to the people who fill this place…
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…
Mussel Inn
157 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2UQ
Mussel Inns aren’t just restaurants but the end point of a diligent infrastructure of sustainable fresh food that begins at seed in West Coast lochs – a truly remarkable operation that has to be commended for re-introducing many Scots to the glories of…
Wau Cafe
27 Old Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G3 8RD
Unlike the other Malaysian restaurants in Glasgow who include Chinese or Thai dishes on their menu, the Wau Café concentrates on Malaysian Malay food. The small informal café, with only room for a handful of tables, has a disproportionately extensive…
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…
Kitsch Inn
214 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HW
A Thai restaurant kitted-out in Polynesian iconography and 50s Americana might seem a tad incongruous, but authentic ‘tiki’ bars (of which there is one, aptly named The Tiki Bar, downstairs) tend to have accompanying restaurants serving south-east Asian…
Celino's
620–624 Alexandra Parade,
Glasgow,
G31 3BT
When a restaurant consistently hits the heights in the ways that Celino's manages it becomes difficult to ignore, even if located in a neighbourhood where passing trade is scarce, particularly in the evening. Stepping off a deserted Alexandra Parade…
Cookie
72 Nithsdale Road,
Glasgow,
G41 2AN
Cookie’s owners are passionate about food and source it in all kinds of cookie ways, even bartering with allotment owners to get ultra local produce. No two visits are the same as there’s always something new and interesting to eat or drink. This is no…
Fratelli Sarti
42 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1NF
There is an expectation with Italian restaurants that the experience be one of feeling loved and entertained as well as fed, yet few manage to pull off the feat with such aplomb as Fratelli Sarti. There's a uniformity of excellence across all three…
Ho Wong
82 York Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8LE
In our era of austerity, restaurants have attempted to entice diners with an avalanche of mid-week, cut-price offers. On a gloomy Tuesday evening, Ho Wong is near capacity despite not offering a pre-theatre or discounted menu options. Considering Ho…
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…
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…
The Bath Street Pony
207 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HZ
After a few name changes over the last decade, this venue seems to have finally found its feet as the Bath Street Pony, now enjoying its third year in the guide. Ironically, the décor hasn’t changed since previous incarnations – the contrast of open…
