Restaurants, "Glasgow"

A mecca of healthy organic delights since 1991, this shop is the inviting home of a vegetarian deli full of freshly made salads, wraps and pastries. The daily specials, a wealth of ethical, carefully sourced produce lining the shelves and the…

In the heart of Glasgow’s most ethnically diverse neighbourhood, Yadgar has been serving Govanhill’s large Asian population for more than 20 years. The dining space is a harshly lit, functional affair and the menu appears fairly basic, and although it…

For bagel fans this small café is the holy of holies, offering an array of flavoured bagels and enticing fillings with a heavy US accent. Things start early with all-day morning bagels featuring smoked salmon, eggs, bacon and such like. The main menu…

At a glance the Pot Still looks like a typical old-fashioned boozer, of which there are many in Glasgow's city centre, but it makes a strong case for the best traditional pub in town. Beyond its simple green and red leather and wood interior, it’s one…

Michael and Jane who co-own this licensed café prioritise the nurturing of their customers, and the local community has a unique resource here where all feel welcomed, whether snatching a quick coffee or lingering over wines and craft beers consumed…

Ascending the staircase from the Hawaiian-influenced Tiki Bar downstairs, the aptly named Kitsch Inn is awash with 1950s artwork and memorabilia. The menu is reassuringly small in comparison to similar outfits, containing some of the most popular Thai…

Spain’s a big place, with lots of regional variation in the kitchen (and the tapas bar), so it’s good to see a focus on a specific part of the country. Andalusia was the natural choice for chef Guillermo (raised in Seville) and his business partner and…

It was little surprise to see Hubbard’s become the latest establishment on the Great Western Road to undergo a student-friendly makeover when it reopened as The Wise Monkey in early 2010. Although it’s had less of a wholesale conversion than it has a…

This deli has focus and business flair. Its main market is in high-quality delicatessen foods both internationally sourced and home prepared, ranging from Italian cooking sausages to a crusty freshly baked salmon en croute. The eat-in area is spacious…

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…

Sea bass with crispy skin and a delicate white sauce in a Glasgow pub for under a tenner is a very rare thing – and when done this well it’s certainly worth seeking out from a menu that exceeds what you’d expect from a bar and represents excellent value…

Entered via the basement on Bath Street or through a sneaky lane behind into the secondary bar, the Monkey Bar opens out into a modern, cool space – minimal but with splashes of colour. Cocktails are a big focus here – from their own versions of…

Can’t wait until Oktoberfest? Dependable like man’s best friend, Bier Halle rounds up a beer celebration every day. It’s the stalwart of good City Centre drinking dens – bare stone walls, chunky wooden benches and blocks, yet a warm and communal…

If the increasingly upscale strip of shops and cafés on the Crow Road near Jordanhill is any reflection of the way the neighbourhood is going, it’s little wonder that Gray’s Kitchen – a mother-daughter run deli-kitchen opened late 2012, specialising in…

A newcomer to the vibrant Finnieston drag, and reviewed here within days of opening, it’s fair to say the Pour House is still finding its feet. The exterior signage of a large squirrel guzzling from a tap is indicative of the quirky interior, featuring…

With its small frontage, minimal seating and proximity to pubs, Rice and Noodle could easily be categorised as your standard, run-of-the-mill takeaway outlet. An extensive menu with few surprises, all at moderate prices, further suggests this eatery is…
