Elià
24 George Square, Glasgow, G2 1EG
Before being known for being nearly bankrupt, the Greeks were known as great philosophers. It makes sense then that the Grecian brain behind Elia has a good philosophy behind his food. You wouldn’t realise it at first glance of the menu – humus, olives…
The Italian Caffè The Italian Caffè
92 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1NY
The food here more than matches the elegant surroundings dispelling any initial fears over Merchant City style over substance. Serving a tapas-style menu invigorates a scene overladen with the usual pizza and pasta suspects, and the ability to sample a…
Gandolfi Fish
84 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1NY
Sister to the famed cafe just down the street, this fish-focussed member of the Gandolfi family is already renowned for clever cooking and solid sourcing. A recent refit (to make way for ‘Fish -To- Go’ take away next door) sees the re-siting of the…
The Green Room
Royal Concert Hall, 2 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3NY
Eating at the Green Room is a rare treat – quite literally as it is only open on performance days. Attached to the Royal Concert Hall (with direct access to the auditorium for concert-goers), the restaurant’s limited and unpredictable opening hours mean…
The Dhabba
44 Candleriggs, Glasgow, G1 1LE
From huge prints illustrating Indian life, to the scents drifting from the kitchen, the Dhabba experience begins the moment you walk into the spacious, relaxed setting. The modern North Indian specialist has enjoyed a decade of success in the heart of…
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…
Café Cossachok
Trongate 103, 10 King Street, Glasgow, G1 5QP
It may sound like a cliché, but there is quite literally nowhere like Café Cossachok, the ‘first and only authentic Russian Restaurant’ in Scotland. Despite having opened in 1998, on entering there is still the feeling of discovering a rare…
China Blue
96 Renfield Street, Glasgow, G2 1NH
The darkened staircase leading to China Blue gives the impression of an out-dated karaoke bar, yet the authentic food is anything but a parody. The menu is separated into an opening section of familiar Westernised dishes and traditional Chinese dishes…
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…
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…
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…
Opium
191 Hope Street, Glasgow, G2 2UL
The soft lighting and darkly elegant tones of the décor add to the feeling of opulence and decadence suggested by this restaurant’s name. In addition to offering a well-balanced mix of Chinese, Thai and Malay influenced dishes on the select menu the…
Gamba Gamba
225a West George Street, Glasgow, G2 2ND
The sign of a good fish restaurant is how well the front and back of house work in close synchronicity. Gamba has that instinctive, almost telepathic communication between cook and floor staff meaning everyone is alert to the unique properties of your…
Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street, Glasgow, G2 4RL
Trained in France, and having lead the Michelin-starred La Gavroche kitchen in London, one expects Mr Maule to conjure up truly accomplished dishes. And he does. Everything from the crisp white table cloths, black leather chairs to the sharply dressed…
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…
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…
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…
Southern Spice
325 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3HW
A delightful surprise awaits those that enter this brightly lit, minimally decorated, restaurant. Among a plethora of Indian restaurants on Sauchiehall St and nearby, Southern Spice holds it own against much bigger, older and better-known…
Ristorante Teatro
61 Elmbank Street, Glasgow, G2 4PQ
Only open for five months at the time of writing, Ristorante Teatro is a charming little basement eatery across the road from the King’s Theatre, well placed for pre-theatre diners. The décor is bright, modern and intimate, with stained-glass panels in…
Two Fat Ladies at the Buttery
652 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8UF
The Buttery has long been a by-word for quality in Glasgow so the Two Fat Ladies franchise raised some expectations by keeping the name on moving in. And they didn’t disappoint. A splendid baroque Victorian bar leads to a tartan carpeted wood panelled…
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…
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…
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…
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 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…
