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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Rose and Grants
27 Trongate, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5EZ
A welcome addition to Argyle Street's eastern end – an already interesting arty area that has for long held so much potential – recently opened Rose and Grants Trongate is the sister café to its namesake in Milngavie. Bright and spacious, with a couch…
Pancho Villa's
26 Bell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LG
After 15 years, Pancho’s fairly pedestrian approach to well-worn dishes makes for a dependable option in this trendy quarter of the city. It’s a spacious venue with bold terracotta theme and sombreros dotted about – welcomed by large groups from…
Bar 91
91 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
Regularly filled with an eclectic mix of professionals, students and families, Bar 91’s welcoming vibe and contemporary interior see it busy all day. In addition to the usual array of mainstream lagers, there are beers from the nearby West Brewery…
Khublai Khan Mongolian Barbecue Restaurant
26 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LD
Kublai Khan takes culinary inspiration from the way 13th century Mongolian warriors said to have cooked their food over a campfire, on upturned. Diners can choose their starters – which range from vegetable wontons served with a sweet and sour dipping…
Maggie May's
60 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
If you believe the deep-fried Mars bar is an urban myth, proof of its existence can be found at Maggie May’s, an indie/folky music venue and pub with a surprisingly civilised restaurant tucked away at the back of the bar. The crisply battered…
City Merchant
97–99 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
At 24 years old, the City Merchant is something of a survivor in this fashionable corner of town, where bars and restaurants come and go with alarming speed. It does well from the tourist trade, offering a Scottish theme and terrific local produce…
KoolBa
109 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
Koolba sits well in the heart of the hustle of Merchant City. Its Persian influences are evident from the rich colour scheme, vibrant canopied ceiling, and, more importantly, enticing aromas – all exuding a warm, welcoming charm that attracts a mixed…
The Secret Garden at the Gate
62 Trongate, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
This is something different from the team behind both the Dhabba and Dakhin Indian restaurants - a bar with a small dining room to the rear that features Asia Pacific cuisine of an Indo-Chinese inclination. As we go to press, however, keys had just been…
Guy's Restaurant & Bar
24 Candleriggs, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LD
It's almost certainly worth booking at this well-established Merchant City favourite. At the end of the bar, the dining area is bright and buzzy, with some of the tables quite close together – more suited to social rather than intimate dining. Service…
Tron Theatre
63 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5HB
Long respected for its theatrical offerings, the Tron’s also built a reputation for reliably good food. The menu features well-executed gastropub favourites such as ham and eggs, risotto and braised lamb shank. A starter of button mushrooms in garlic…
Boudoir Wine Bar
Merchant Square, Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LE
It might be easy for a Glaswegian to look at Boudoir and think 'Nah, not for me'. With its purple, flouncy, feminine appearance it looks perhaps out of place and might be better suited to Paris than the Merchant City. But it would be a mistake to pass…
Berits & Brown
6 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1SS
In the heart of the merchant City, which is particularly good looking at night these days, Berits and Brown offers a small taste of a New York style neighbourhood diner. It is a big draw for wine buffs – any bottle on sale in the off license can be…
Boteco do Brasil
62 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
Inside this lively bohemian hangout the carnival atmosphere hits you. Brazilian flags and bold cultural murals set the scene while large screens ensure you don’t miss any footie action while supping a Brahma beer or caipirinha – Brazil’s national…
Committee Room No.9
18 John Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1JQ
Located opposite the still-attractive Italian Centre, Committee Room No.9 stands as a block of functionality amid its stylish surroundings. The name and interior structure of the building leave customers in no doubt about its original purpose and the…
Mono
12 Kings Court, King Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5RB
Mono has been serving Glasgow’s veggie and vegan clientele for ten years now and it’s easy to see the attraction. The room has an indie vibe with a raised platform for the eating area, a good-sized stage for visiting musicians and a long colourful bar…
Brutti Ma Buoni
Brunswick Hotel, 106 Brunswick Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1TF
The Brunswick Hotel's café-bar has long been a popular spot for Merchant City hipsters, with its stylish Italian design and cool, pre-club vibe. The menu is large and snacky and takes a while to read, with various tapas plates, bruschetta, burgers and…
The 13th Note Café/Bar
50–60 King Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5QT
As befits a busy live venue, 13th note has a cool and funky vibe that attracts music and arts lovers of all ages. A cavernous red room with large windows hosts the bar area with the café perched a few stairs up at the back. The mood of the room changes…
Rab Ha's
83 Hutcheson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1SH
Rab Ha’s is a well-loved and fairly busy Merchant City pub (and small hotel), and over the past 20 years or so its basement restaurant has meandered up and down market, with varying critical and commercial success. Currently it feels like an…
Bacchus
80 Glassford Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1UR
Weekends are busy at this Merchant City bar, catering for the post-work and pre-club crowd. The interior is stylish, with comfy low cushioned benches, bar stools and standard tables offering seating options to suit your night. Be careful to arrive early…
Citation
40 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HD
Once the home of the Sheriff Court, this imposing structure is now in session as a lively multi-levelled bar/restaurant complex. The Taverne's right up at the top, with traditional styling and dark décor complemented by a large outdoor seating area. But…
The Corinthian Club
191 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DA
The brasserie and bar area in the Corinthian must be one of the most beautiful rooms in Scotland. If you want to impress then this dramatic central hall of the former High Court is certainly the place to come. The food can’t really compete with such…
The Glasserie
Mansion House, The Glasshouse, 20 Glassford Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1UL
Mansion House is the latest superclub to be unveiled in the Merchant City. Previously Tiger Tiger, it is compartmentalised into various rooms and venues, all with a different vibe but squarely aimed at revellers having a fun-filled evening. Through…
Elià
24 George Square,
Glasgow,
G2 1EG
Before being known for being nearly bankrupt, the Greeks were known as great philosophers. It makes sense then that the Grecian brain behind Elia has a good philosophy behind his food. You wouldn’t realise it at first glance of the menu – humus, olives…
Pinto Mexican Kitchen
138 Queen Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3BX
Off George Square, this fast-food bar kitchen serves Tex-Mex-style food in a clean, bright and lively space. From the bright lights, stools and tables to the Mexican print feature wall, colours are eye-catching chilli red, sunshine yellow and lime.
OKO Express
78 Queen Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3DN
Now under new ownership OKO has raised its game, with all dishes being fresher and better presented than ever, and when it comes to Japanese food that is imperative. The setting is typical for a sushi bar with cafeteria style bench seating that is good…
SoHo
84 Miller Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DT
SoHo is a low-ceiling lively place that specialises in bar meals and pizzas and seems one of the few places in town to be regularly busy even midweek. Service is sharp and generally smiley and the menu is Mediterranean-influenced, with a Scots slant…
La Vita
161 Queen Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3BJ
You can’t get much more central than La Vita’s, and despite being spread over three floors it manages a cosy, traditional Italian vibe. It is a busy place, with booking on most nights recommended, and you are still likely to be just a few centimetres…
Windows Restaurant
Carlton George Hotel, 44 West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1DH
The kitchen – under award-winning young chef Michelle Dempsey – is doing a sterling job. There are few surprises on the menu, but dishes are beautifully executed, and attention to detail is excellent. Fondant potato – so often badly prepared elsewhere…
Di Maggio's Theatreland
163 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
See Royal Exchange Square branch for review
Amarone
2 Nelson Mandela Place,
Glasgow,
G2 1BT
Enter the plate-glass doors and down the elegant stairway into this basement venue, and it is clear that Amarone is at the classier end of the Di Maggio's chain. There's the slick modern décor, warm chocolate and neutral colours, and mix of open tables…
Urban Bar & Brasserie
23–25 St Vincent Place,
Glasgow,
G1 2DT
Positioned to receive tourists spilling out from George Square is this, the flagship in Alan Tomkins’ collection of Glasgow bars and restaurants. With its muted tones, champagne bar and live piano playing it seems halfway between a relaxed, cosmopolitan…
Di Maggio’s
21 Royal Exchange Square,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
Since 1985 Di Maggio's has been expanding from its original Shawlands venue to branches across the city. As the name suggests, the menu owes more to US Italian food than the old country, and while the considerably dense à la carte menu is the same in…
La Bonne Auberge
161 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
Tacked on to the reception area of the Holiday Inn, the overly fussy décor of La Bonne Auberge may make you think that the restaurant hasn’t changed much since the late 1970s when French food became popular in the UK. Still, when the starters arrive the…
The Restaurant Bar & Grill
Princes Square, Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JX
It may not be the most distinctive, and it has a corporate whiff about it, but this restaurant blends wood, leather and glass to create a smart, contemporary yet comfortable diner – well suited to business lunches, shopping bites, office nights out or a…
Pesto
57–61 St Vincent St,
Glasgow,
G2 5TS
The Pesto brand has come to Glasgow with this huge, welcoming venue. The concept is tapas-style Italian, offering a myriad of small dishes for sharing. Choose two or three dishes each, but be prepared to hog the ones that you really like. The menu takes…
Sloans
62 Argyll Arcade, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 8BG
Sloan’s is enjoying something of a renaissance at the moment, cleverly positioning itself between homely traditional pub and something a wee bit funkier for when the shoppers go home and the evening arrives. They do cracking pints of Heineken and…
