Mulberry Street Bar
778 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G41 2AE
The Southside's Mulberry St bar and bistro exudes an air of style and class, with the sleek yet casual surrounds of the bar area offering a relaxed environment in which to enjoy a plethora of high-quality beers and wines. While wholly enjoyable in…
The Grill on the Corner
21–25 Bothwell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6NL
Viewed from outside the twinkling fairly lights in the windows belie the more masculine grandeur inside this popular grill room. The long dark bar and booths of the cocktail area lead past a stretch of kitchen, with an open pass that smokes and hisses…
Amber Chinese Restaurant
130-132 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8TD
The idea of a classy Chinese restaurant conjures up images of dimly-lit interiors with plush flock wallpaper and maybe an aquarium. The Amber retains the classiness and tries to refresh the traditional style with dark wood and drapery adorning the…
Ketchup
44 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
There’s no such thing as 'just' a burger at Ketchup – maybe you want cheese, bacon and chipotle mayo with pickles, onion and salad? Or how about Portobello mushrooms, garlic parmesan aioli and balsamic onion relish? Have it without the bun, without the…
China Buffet King
22–24 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2PF
These bustling, bright eateries hit the spot with families, students and office workers looking to fill up on a budget. On offer is a wide range of familiar favourites, salads, fruit and delightfully childish desserts. Some options survive the buffet…
The Finnieston
1125 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8ND
Upon dropping anchor at The Finnieston, you could almost have been transported to some place on The Shore in Leith or a village in the East Neuk of Fife between its low-ceiling, snug wooden booths, weathered feel and seafood-centric cuisine. Situated…
Cafezique
66 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PT
Mhairi Taylor’s informal café follows in the footsteps of her much respected neighbouring delicatessen, Delizique. Both celebrate quality produce and local suppliers while wrapped in a stylish West End chic that successfully makes buying a bag of…
The Grill Room at the Square
29 Royal Exchange Square,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
Part of a private members club which has seen many a celebrity wandering through its door, this place manages to pull off that exclusive-yet-relaxed vibe, with just enough class to make diners feel special, but none of the pretentiousness that can come…
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…
Pivo Pivo
15 Waterloo Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6AY
Pivo Pivo was one of Glasgow's first pubs to serve an extensive range of world beers - from Argentinian Quilmes to Kirin from Japan - and still largely trades on punters' tourism. Located right beside Central Station, its small bar area lies at the…
Tinto Tapas Bar
138 Battlefield Road,
Glasgow,
G42 9JT
The interior may be a bit ramshackle, and the vibe, laid-back, but service is friendly and efficient. Along with the large menu comes a dish of delicious home salted almonds which set the taste buds going in anticipation of the tapas to follow. Mussels…
The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7AR
A Glasgow fixture since 1982, this Ashoka is not part of the popular Harlequin-owned chain of the same name. Downstairs is the 110-capacity Curryoke restaurant, where you can experience a full banquet plus a spot of singing, while upstairs the…
China Buffet King
53–55 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2DH
These bustling, bright eateries hit the spot with families, students and office workers looking to fill up on a budget. On offer is a wide range of familiar favourites, salads, fruit and delightfully childish desserts. Some options survive the buffet…
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…
TriBeCa
102 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
With an NYPD cruiser and a yellow taxi parked outside, Tribeca promises to bring the great breakfasts of the Big Apple to Partick. The cosy interior, decorated with original artwork inspired by New York, is tightly packed with tables, high stools at…
Amore
6 Shuttle Street (Corner of Ingram Street),
Glasgow,
G1 1QA
Located in a dull corner of the Merchant City, Amore briskly caters for workers and shoppers by day and is a good choice for families and work nights out with its generous space and cheerful informality. The central round booth is particularly handy…
Filling Station
46 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1HG
With its diner-style booths, a bottle of ketchup on every table and retro road signs for decoration, the Filling Station is aiming for a classic US roadhouse feel. The long menu concentrates on burgers, hot sandwiches, steaks and salads, together with…
The Bothy
11 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Tucked away from the bustle of Byres Road down Ruthven Lane in a fittingly old stone building lies the Bothy. Friendly and efficient kilted waiting staff give diners welcome diners into the relaxed atmosphere. The menu offers traditional dishes such as…
Epicures of Hyndland
159 Hyndland Road,
Glasgow,
G12 9JA
This latest addition to the cluster of eateries around Hyndland Road is not easily missed since its frontage is almost entirely windows. Epicure’s light and spacious interior is divided into two levels with the industrial chic of metal steps, exposed…
Home
80 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
The decoration at this city centre hang-out is indeed a bit like home – if you happen to live somewhere that’s the ‘before’ part of a makeover. The furniture is a random mixture of leather booths (some with ripped seats), squashy sofas and gaudy…
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…
