Eusebi Deli
793 Shettleston Road,
Glasgow,
G32 7NN
One wonders if any first-time customer has ever visited Eusebi and not come back for more. It really is most impressive. When the doors open at 10am, the counter is packed with Italian delights, from rich, hearty classics such as lasagne or pork…
Taste Good Inn
7 Burn Place, Off Dukes Road, Cambuslang,
Glasgow,
G72 7DS
The Taste Good Inn is a smart modern Chinese restaurant on the south-east outskirts of Glasgow in Cambuslang. Fibre-optic mood lighting adds to the mellow contemporary look, with rich chocolate leather seating and heavy satin drapes giving a sense of…
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…
Tapa Bakehouse
21 Whitehill Street, Dennistoun,
Glasgow,
G31 2LH
Tapa is essentially a functioning bakery with a front of shop area for takeaway or sit-in sampling. Practically everything for sale in the cafe is made there. A wide range of organic loaves, savoury brioche, pastries, bagels, foccacia and unctuous…

473–477 Duke Street,
Glasgow,
G31 1RD
An institution in the heart of the East End since 1928, Coia's Café is run by third generation Scots-Italian Alfredo Coia, easily identifiable by his smart braces. Coia's is one of only three licensed eateries on the Duke Street strip – and rarely…

Stroud Road,
Glasgow,
G75 0YA
Di Maggio's offers authentic, unpretentious Italian dishes with an American twist in a convivial, family-friendly atmosphere. This large East Kilbridge branch has a beer garden along with indoor and outdoor play areas for children. The restaurant menu…
Black Poppy
47–49 Stonelaw Road, Rutherglen,
Glasgow,
G73 3TN
The Black Poppy may not be the only café in the area to serve espresso but it must be unique in offering eight flavours of balsamic vinegar to accompany salads. It exudes community spirit and, as well as hosting events with local businesses – including…
Tibo
443 Duke Street, Dennistoun,
Glasgow,
G31 1RY
As the paper lanterns bob gently in the breeze from the ceiling fans and soulful tunes play, you enter a spiritual oasis on Duke Street at Tibo. Everything about the place is calming. Angus MacLeod at the helm likes to keep things this way. Dishes are…
Cathedral House Hotel
28–32 Cathedral Square,
Glasgow,
G4 0XA
Taking up the ground floor of an ancient-looking building across from the Necropolis and Cathedral, and close to Strathclyde University, it's no surprise that this bright and spacious bar is popular with tourists and students. A mezzanine provides a…
WEST Brewery
Building 4 Templeton Building, Glasgow Green,
Glasgow,
G40 1AW
With many bars in Glasgow and beyond stocking their excellent beers – brewed in accordance with German Purity Laws (meaning they include water, malt, hops and yeast, and nothing else touches them other than a skilled brewer's hand) – WEST's impact on…
Barras Art & Design Centre
54 Calton Entry,
Glasgow,
G40 2SB
The Barras Art & Design Centre, in the heart of Glasgow's world famous Barras Market, houses several homegrown artists including jewellery makers, retro furniture restorers, photographers, dress, lingerie and t-shirt designers. The centre is also…
Merchant Chippie
155 High Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1PH
It is a tall order persuading people that fish suppers are healthy but that is just what this newbie in the Merchant City is trying to do. Its menu is full of brain development this and organic oil that, but at the end of the day the proof is, as they…
Ad Lib
33 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
Both branches of Ad Lib share a menu that infuses a melting pot of global influences and a dash of Glasgow charm. The narrow New York-style bar at Hope St leads onto the large dining courtyard area, with red walls, rail lighting and photographs of…
Sapporo Teppanyaki
2-6 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
The Merchant City plays host to the Glasgow branch of this three-strong UK chain. Popular with stags, hens, birthdays and works night outs, Sapporo Teppanyaki has a well-deserved reputation as a fun destination for parties. Large hotplates provide a…
Amore
30 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1QA
At the quiet end of Ingram Street, Amore sits mezzanine height above pavement level which, along with the smart furnishings, lots of sparkling glass and stone-bake oven, provides a pleasant sense of occasion. It's a warm and welcoming enough space, but…
Babbity Bowster
16–18 Blackfriars Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1PE
Located in an old tobacco merchant’s house on the periphery of the Merchant City, Babbity Bowster is a pleasantly secluded place for a drink and some good food, particularly in the beer garden if the sun is shining on this evocative street. Babbity…
Fit Food Bistro
Tiso Glasgow Outdoor Experience, 50 Coupar Street,
Glasgow,
G4 0DL
A pleasing antidote to the chips-with-everything culture, Fit Food prides itself, as the name suggests, in offering wholesome sandwiches, light meals and snacks. Which is perhaps no more than you would expect, located as it is in Tiso’s outdoor activity…
Ingram Wynd
56-58 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1EX
One of the more self-consciously ‘Scottish’ of the restaurants in this section (it defines itself as such on the signage and on its website) Ingram Wynd is a good bet for traditional dishes such as skirlie, stovies or cranachan – which can be…
El Sabor
Merchant Square, 17 Bell Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1RU
One of the original tenants in the redeveloped Fruitmarket, AKA the Merchant Square, El Sabor is a popular place for tapas, wines and jugs of sangria. The name means 'flavour' in Spanish and the menu has some 30 different options. In addition to seating…
Zorba Mediterranean Taverna
25 High Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LX
This old-fashioned family-run taverna is about as cheesy as a package holiday to a sunny island resort. But its staff are friendly to a fault, with impromptu dancing and cheerful service. Most importantly, the food is excellent. The cosy room is…
Café Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
If one restaurant can take credit for Stornoway black pudding becoming ubiquitous on the menus of contemporary Scotland this is the one. Back when the dish was deemed little more than offal Gandolfi was serving it on drop scones with mushrooms, inspired…
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 chairs…
Qua Italian Restaurant
The Todd Building, 68 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1EX
Situated in the fashionable Merchant City area, Qua likes to think of itself as a stylish place to eat quality Italian food, the way they do back home. The décor is minimalist, with red and black furniture dominating the large dining area which is…
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 to Go
86 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
It is great to see the Gandolfi family continue to grow in the Merchant City with a new addition to this year’s Guide. Here, high-end fish suppers are exquisitely presented in a large Gandolfi Fish paper bag with a lemon wedge and pot of home-made…
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…
Arta
The Old Cheesemarket, 62 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1PA
In Glasgow’s trendy Merchant City the competition among restaurants to attract discerning diners is high. Artà stands out architecturally. Once the location of a medieval cheese market this listed building was developed Baroque style in 2000 into a…
Café Source
1 St Andrew's Square,
Glasgow,
G1 5PP
This large space beneath the St Andrew’s In The Square church has been sensitively designed to accommodate quiet meals in the leather booths while catering comfortably for families and large parties. Black and white photographs of musicians are a nod to…
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…
Café India
29 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Having recently been taken over by Tony Hussain, Café India has some big ideas and great expectations. From a Sunday morning cookery school to Indian tapas and Scottish ale evenings, there’s plenty going on. The large dining area remains divided, with a…
Red Lizard
51 Bell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NX
On a corner site in the heart of the Merchant City, Red Lizard aims to combine different bar styles. From the drawing room-style drapes at the large windows and chunky leather chesterfields clustered in corners, to the tiger skin above the red-flock…
Thali
42 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Thali offers something different from the multitude of Indian restaurants nestled around Merchant City. The decor may look already slightly dated with its Artex walls and faded red carpet—but the food certainly is not. Referring to a charmingly…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
It may no longer be a hidden secret, but the bar in the loft above Café Gandolfi still offers an intimate seclusion difficult to find in Merchant City. Inside, stunning handcrafted furniture contrasts with exposed metal beams overhead that somehow…
The Italian Kitchen
64 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1EX
It could be argued the Italian Kitchen is a victim of its own success – it is almost always busy so service can occasionally stretch, and booking ahead is pretty much a must. Put that aside and what you get is a restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, a…
The Libertine
45–47 Bell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NX
A competition saw this bar named after the decadent 17th-century poet, the 2nd Earl of Rochester, but here’s nothing debauched about this Libertine, which neatly balances daytime bistro and night-time bar. Tall windows line both aspects, allowing diners…
Fanelli's
Unit 4 Merchant Square, 62 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LE
Located in the polished but slightly soulless Merchant Square, this newcomer wins you over with its simplicity and warm welcome from staff who are eager to inform. Bruschetta fans have the choice of five in the antipasti – the chargrilled chicken and…
Carrot Top's Café
24 St Andrews St,
Glasgow,
G1 5DP
Stonking baps filled with great combos such as grilled Mediterranean veg and cream cheese or salami and sweet chilli. The soup and sandwich deal £4.95 is a bargain. There are at least two freshly made soups each day – time it right and it is whizzed up…
Arisaig
1 Merchant Square,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
This smart establishment serves Scottish flavours and produce in an upmarket but unfussy environment. Perched on the edge of the Merchant City cobbled square, there is plenty of ‘people watching’ to keep you entertained. Seafood broth as a starter…
Metropolitan
Merchant Square, Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LE
Given the weather, Metropolitan’s indoor terrace overlooking Merchant Square is the safest way to dine al fresco in Glasgow. It’s a very pleasant place to be, with the sandstone walls, linen napkins and twinkling fairy lights adding atmosphere to the…
Lily's
103 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DX
Tucked away in Merchant City, Lily’s may look like your average café from the outside but the menu tells a different story. Successfully combining paninis, burgers and baked potatoes with Chinese dishes, the noodle soup sprinkled with roast sesame seeds…
