Ian Brown Food and Drink
55 Eastwoodmains Road,
Glasgow,
G46 6PW
This new Southside restaurant from former Ubiquitous Chip head chef Ian Brown is less formal than the West End favourite but no less impressive. Brown’s creativity and experience shows throughout. To start, a plump pig’s cheek balances on herb-peppered…
The Partners Italian Bistro
1051 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 0XP
Partnered – to coin a phrase – with Bearsden's Partners Bistro, Tapela and Tattie Macs, this restaurant sits in unpromising surroundings, just off Great Western Road next to Gartnavel Hospital – yet the striking former Kelvinside train station houses a…
Chinaski's
239 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
Even if Charles Bukowski – whose biographical alter-ego Chinaski’s is named after – mostly lived off a liquid diet, this dark, discreet hipster haunt just off the main drag of Sauchiehall Street is as much about its food as it is its drink. A huge…
La Vallée Blanche
360 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8AY
For La Vallée Blanche, first impressions count and there’s nothing like deep red, dark wood and candlelight to seduce the hungry visitor. As a teaser, soft warm rolls and tasty amuse-bouches are served without delay. The menu is mostly meat-based, with…
Cafe Salma
523 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7PQ
There is nothing quite like Cafe Salma in Glasgow. With an established clientele who clearly like its value for money, authentic international food and its no alcohol policy. Large tables of families and young Asians tuck into a varied mix of pizzas…
Rumours Kopitiam
21 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1HW
Glasgow’s only Malaysian restaurant serves a few Thai and Singaporean dishes alongside a big selection of traditional Malaysian cuisine with its hints of Malay, Chinese and Indian influences. Authentic food and very reasonable prices make this simply…
See Woo Restaurant
The Point, 29 Saracen Street,
Glasgow,
G22 5HT
Five years ago the vast See Woo cash and carry in the north of the city opened up a restaurant and banqueting hall. While it may not be everyone’s choice to eat in 500-seater hangar space it is certainly full of local Chinese families and visiting…
The Hidden Lane Tearoom
8 Argyle Court, 1103 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8ND
Despite its less than obvious location, the Hidden Lane Tearoom is often full to bursting so clearly the secret is out – and what a secret it is. The tearoom is set over two tiny floors decorated in a fashion that is clearly a labour of love. The…
La Lanterna
35 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6AE
Descend the stairs to La Lanterna and step back in time. This place has survived credit crunches, food fads, and fast foods. The owner, Christopher Martinolli, was born the year his father opened the restaurant in 1970 and nothing much has changed…
The Two Figs
5 and 9 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5RD
Situated at the tricky end of Byres Road, the Two Figs has justifiably consolidated its appeal over the past couple of years. This is a place to relax – with cheery staff, cosy booths, warm lighting, exposed wood and a smattering of fig-themed motifs.
Assam’s
57 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2AE
This popular newcomer last year has quite literally taken a step up for 2011, with owner Assam Rashid moving his basement eatery to a street-level site two doors along. And it’s a lovely venue, with lots of daylight coming in through windows with…
Sonny & Vito's
52 Park Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9JG
A New York-style café and deli that feels like it’s been around for many years, Sonny and Vito’s adopts a reliable formula and renders it with consummate ease. Floor to ceiling shelves are crammed full of delectable looking jams, chutneys, biscuits and…
Stravaigin
28–30 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX
Following a thoughtful and sympathetic refurbishment the less formal bistro area of Stravaigin now provides twice the space while preserving the relaxed atmosphere that has made it a West End favourite. Downstairs, beyond the open kitchen pass, the…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
The stretch from Charing Cross to Kelvingrove is punctuated with top Indian restaurants, including this popular place which has been winning praise for two decades. Complimentary cups of haddock and potato soup are a lovely introduction, indicating the…
Lebowskis
1008 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8LX
Named after the legendary loafer in the Coen brothers’ classic cult film The Big Lebowski, you’ll find few bars in Glasgow more dedicated to taking it easy, man. And few kitchens more dedicated to locally sourcing produce. Owned by a pair of former…
Mussel Inn
157 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2UQ
Delicious, healthy and environmentally responsible, rope-grown mussels from Scotland's West Coast are currently enjoying plenty of positive media coverage, and the rather single-minded Mussel Inn is well placed to benefit from an increase in demand.
The Cabin
996–998 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G14 9UJ
The cosy, low-ceilinged dining space is small and intimate, with pictures on the walls, a kitsch cabinet filled with the glasses and a wide open door opening onto the busy kitchen. From there, hisses, aromas and shouts all pour out. Also seen going in…
Cail Bruich
725 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8QX
The dining area in Cail Bruich is unassuming yet sophisticated – large, black prints of fine food are set off with deep, rich reds, dark wood and laid-back jazz. Exceptional waiting staff are more than keen to discuss the food. Luxurious touches such…
Fratelli Sarti
121 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
Few restaurants in Glasgow encapsulate the city’s rich Italian heritage quite like Fratelli Sarti does at its three branches. The Bath and Wellington street branches are interlinked, but head downstairs for a busy bustling ambience with an…
Gandolfi Fish
84 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
A fishy sister to the much-loved Café and Bar a few doors down Albion Street, this smartly turned-out member of the Gandolfi family makes great sense. By concentrating almost exclusively on the produce of Scotland's waters, and with a chef in Jamie…
The Left Bank
33–35 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NU
It is hard to categorise this bistro / bar, mainly because it is so successful in all its guises – as a lazy brunch hangout, for drinks by the window or a relaxed evening meal. The atmosphere is casual but the kitchen works hard, handling flavours…
Nanakusa
441 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
A cool bar area with booths in the shop front gives onto open views of a steaming, sizzling kitchen and then into a glorious hall with an arched roof punctuated by skylights. Italianate cornicing contrasts with walls of contemporary wooden walls and…
WEST Brewery
Building 4 Templeton Building, Glasgow Green,
Glasgow,
G40 1AW
German-inspired brewery WEST’s bar-restaurant scooped the family friendly trophy at the Scottish Restaurant Awards in 2010 and it’s easy to see why. A big, bright, inviting space situated just outside the City Centre in the Templeton Building, a…
Where the Monkey Sleeps
182 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RU
Rocking a basement off Blythswood Square, WTMS tones down the very metal tunes with some gentler Nick Cave when the office workers come in for lunch. Deceptively large inside, the walls of the various rooms, nooks and perches are decorated with album…
