An Lochan
340 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT

Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Housed in the loft above the much-loved Café Gandolfi, this warm, tiny bar eschews the cuisine and décor of its older sibling in favour of an identity all of its own. Quirky wooden furniture, steel beams and candlelight reflecting off battered cream…
Barbarossa
3–5 Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 4EF
Glowing quotes about this Southside restaurant from The List are scattered throughout Barbarossa's official web site. Alas, during our reviewing period in 2008, the operation – which does rather regularly feature on our Hit List of Italian operations…
Bentley's @ the Rascasse
14 Busby Road, Clarkston Toll, Southside,
Glasgow,
G76 7XL
The Rascasse, a funky style bar in the Southside suburb of Clarkston, takes its name from a hairpin turn on Monte Carlo's famous Grand Prix circuit. The restaurant here, Bentley's, is a more sedate affair - think limo, not hot-rod - compared with the…

Glasgow,
G3 8AN
With a name meaning 'taste' or 'relish' in Gaelic, Blas proudly offers tastes of the Highlands and Islands in produce such as Stornoway black pudding, Ullapool smoked salmon and Dingwall haggis. Fittingly, it's situated close to many of the city's…

Glasgow,

Glasgow,

Bouzy Rouge
71 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,

The Butterfly and the Pig
153 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4SQ
Going for a meal at The Butterfly and the Pig is something of an Alice in Wonderland experience. Beyond its unprepossessing basement entrance, the bar is decorated like the Mad Hatter's front room, with chintz sofas, doilies and Welsh dressers bursting…
The Cabin
996–998 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G14 9UJ

Catch 22 Restaurant & Bar
158–166 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TB

Citation
40 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HD
Ambitious and oddly charming, Citation is a new venture that aims at an array of targets and generally hits the most important one – satisfying food. Housed in Glasgow's former Sheriff Court building, it is an imposing place. The bar covers a large…

The Doocot Café and Bar
The Lighthouse, 11 Mitchell Lane,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
As you might expect from The Lighthouse, Scotland's centre for architecture and design, there's a breezy sophistication to be found in its stylish café bar. The Doocot is a bright, almost dazzling space, even on the dullest days, with prints of clouds…
Fanny Trollopes
1066 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8LY
The narrow dining room here has only a handful of tables, and the feeling is genuinely relaxed and warm. As you browse through the menu, staff may offer to tell you the story of Fanny – or perhaps discuss the eclectic range of art and ceramics that…
Gamba
225a West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2ND
Gamba celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2008, and one would be hard-pressed to name a more consistently excellent, top-end restaurant in Glasgow over the same time period. It's not only that chef and co-owner Derek Marshall doesn't ever settle for…
Gandolfi Fish
84 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Gandolfi Fish has only been in business since June 2007, yet curiously feels as if it has been a part of the Merchant City fabric for quite a bit longer. You can attribute its quick integration to owner Seumas MacInnes, who knows the terrain well, given…
The Green Room
Royal Concert Hall, 2 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3NY
The Green Room is a bit like a rare exotic bird: dazzling and memorably beautiful when it appears, but blink and you miss it. This is because the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall's fine dining restaurant is only open before evening shows and matinées.
The Grill on the Corner
21–25 Bothwell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6NL
With its shiny black wooden furniture, mirrored surfaces and private booths, each with their own rather decadent crystal chandelier, this luxurious restaurant has a distinct air of the moneyed 1980s. The time travel effect is further enhanced by the…
The Grill Room at the Square
29 Royal Exchange Square,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
With stylish private bars and a swanky spa on the same level as the restaurant, this members-only club has thankfully kept its dining room doors open to mere mortals – apart from Saturdays after 7pm. Mirrors, polished surfaces and full-length windows…
Guy's
24 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LD
Guy's twinkles warmly in the Merchant City firmament. It's a big, long room, but you can feel at home amid the accumulated bric-a-brac sprinkled lightly about the interior. These include Mexican Day of the Dead plates, an imposing carved bird lectern…
JT Rochead
60 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
Walking through a busy bar into this recently reconstructed restaurant is such a contrast that it feels a little like entering a theatre set. The décor might be described as Caledonian gothic, exemplified by wallpaper with giant thistle motifs on a…
The Kitchen Restaurant
Pollok House, Pollok Estate, 2060 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G43 1AT
Set in the magnificent Pollok Country Park, Pollok House – an elegant 18th century country mansion beautifully maintained by the National Trust for Scotland – seems a world away from the city that surrounds it. There's an Upstairs Downstairs quality to…
The Living Room
150 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5NE
Slightly adrift from the hub of the city centre, this stylish bar and restaurant pulls in a mix of fashionable twentysomethings and corporate diners on expense accounts. It's dark and moody inside, the long rectangular space divided between cocktail bar…
Louis' Bistro
18 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX
Gibson Street is fast becoming the nucleus for West End dining, and Louis' Bistro has been growing in popularity since it opened in 2006. It's owned by the same team that runs the ever-wonderful No Sixteen [see Scottish], but the dishes here are more…

Glasgow,

Manna
104 Bath Street,

Metropolitan
Merchant Square, Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
Ascending the spiral staircase from the cocktail bar brings Metropolitan diners to a stylish and modern Merchant City brasserie. The dining area is split: opulent white leather banquettes and sultry lighting give a very grown-up feel in one spot, while…
Michael Caines @ ABode
129 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
Situated off the foyer of Glasgow's grand ABode hotel, chef Michael Caines' restaurant emits a sense of assured calm thanks to the sunny, efficient staff and some subtle orange back-lighting. Underneath a high, mirrored wall sit banquettes of dark grey…

Mussel Inn
157 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2UQ
Owned by shellfish farmers, the Mussel Inn presents a range of basic mussel and scallop dishes, and it is distinctly possible that the key ingredients of your meal were harvested only hours earlier. While there is a daily finned fish special (on this…
No. Sixteen
16 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5JY
Since opening in 1991, No. Sixteen has consistently been regarded by foodies as a mainstay of the ever-changing landscape of Byres Road. Owners Margaret and Ronald Campbell continue to uphold their reputation of excellence through a commitment to…

Glasgow,
G2 2EN

The Pipers' Tryst
30–34 McPhater Street,
Glasgow,
G4 0HW
Scottish traditional music may be a taste not easily acquired in a single sitting, but if anywhere can convert you to bagpipes and fiddles, The Pipers' Tryst could be the place. It should certainly convince any remaining sceptics of the glories of…
Rab Ha's
83 Hutcheson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1SH
Named after a famed, long-since-departed Glasgow glutton, this hotel bar and restaurant is a well-established Merchant City favourite. Diners pass through the friendly, welcoming buzz of the bar before heading for the basement restaurant where white…
Red Onion
257 West Campbell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TT
John Quigley, occasional celebrity chef and Ready Steady Cook crackerjack, is a reliable presence at this popular city centre bistro, which he co-owns with his wife. Gags and TV studio lights aren't much in evidence at Red Onion, which rather blends an…
Roastit Bubbly Jocks
450 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6SE
Amidst the charity shops at the long end of Dumbarton Road, Roastit Bubbly Jocks might seem out of the way. For many, however, it's a well-loved dining institution. The emphasis is on the food and atmosphere: it's bustling, loud and warm – the way any…
Rococo
202 West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2NR
Abstract, aquamarine glass panels and sparkling pinpoint ceiling lights lend Rococo an air of cool elegance, while the linen settings and grown-up wine list add enough formality for even the most special of occasions. Unusually, dietary requirements are…
Rogano
11 Exchange Place,
Glasgow,
G1 3AN

78 St Vincent
78 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5UB
A celebration of the Auld Alliance, 78 St Vincent brings France to Scotland with both its décor and menu. Acknowledging more than a slight influence from the famous Restaurant Chartier in Paris, the dark wood and brass railings together with tinkling…
The Sisters
1a Ashwood Gardens, 512 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G13 1NU
Since moving from Ashton Lane to Jordanhill a few years back, the Sisters restaurant has become regarded as one of the better options in Glasgow. But its location off the beaten track made it one of the trickiest to find (though once you've been, it is…
Sloan's
62 Argyll Arcade,
Glasgow,
G2 8BG
Renamed Bastille for a year or so, Sloan's original and proper name – circa 1797 – has been restored. The interior retains the wood-panelled charm of 200 years of history. The upstairs restaurant particularly provides a taste of the affluence of…
Strata
45 Queen Street,
Glasgow,

Stravaigin
28–30 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX

Glasgow,
G12 8NX

8 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,

Two Fat Ladies
88 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
An average two-course dinner at Two Fat Ladies costs what top-end restaurants charge for a single main course these days. Such economies have an obvious appeal and this restaurant helps its cause by putting generally excellent food on the table, to…
Two Fat Ladies
118a Blythswood Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4EG
An average two-course dinner at Two Fat Ladies costs what top-end restaurants charge for a single main course these days. Such economies have an obvious appeal and this restaurant helps its cause by putting generally excellent food on the table, to…
Two Fat Ladies at the Buttery
652 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8UF
Since taking over the venerable Buttery, owner Ryan James seems to have safely ensconced the Two Fat Ladies philosophy amid a historic and salubrious setting. The place feels less nicotine-stained and cluttered, but it still has classy touches from the…
Ubiquitous Chip
12 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
With its fish-filled pond, cobbled courtyard and abundant plant life tumbling from overhead beams, this is as close as one can get to dining in the elegant Victorian glasshouses of the Kibble Palace up the road. The theatrical al fresco atmosphere is…
Urban Grill
61 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
The Southside of Glasgow has several up-and-coming neighbourhoods, and the introduction of stylish bars and restaurants to the Shawlands district confirms its place in particular as a desirable location. Perhaps no one targets this emerging affluence…

Glasgow,
G2 3EX
