13th Note Café
50-60 King Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5QT
Scotland
Set on arty King Street, this laid-back hang-out has long provided wholesome vegetarian food to hungry indie rock fans - as live sets are played in the basement seven nights a week while hip music is a permanent backdrop in the bar/café. Diners…
Acanthus
1032 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8LX
Run by two sisters who also operate a florist from these premises, Acanthus has calming, cornflower blue walls and a homely atmosphere. A small seating area is successfully partitioned from the takeaway counter to form a tranquil space with a view of…
Ad Lib
111 Hope Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 6LL
A handsome old fire station on Ingram Street houses the second branch of Ad Lib, which hopes to extend its deluxe-diner appeal to the Merchant City. The original might still be slightly funkier, with its long bar and American-style booths, but the newer…
Ad Lib/Merchant City
33 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
A handsome old fire station on Ingram Street houses the second branch of Ad Lib, which hopes to extend its deluxe-diner appeal to the Merchant City. The original might still be slightly funkier, with its long bar and American-style booths, but the newer…
Agenda
15 Millbrae Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9UA
Sitting proudly atop a Southside hill, Agenda is housed in an impressive art deco building frequented by thirsty locals and architecture students on a mission. Tucked behind the main bar in a separate room, the restaurant has subdued lighting and…
Alishan
250 Battlefield Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9HU
Mount Florida's traditional neighbourhood Indian for 20 years is a small, bright place with a dozen tables tucked behind tropical fish tanks. It's barely changed in all this time: there's no buffet, no early dining deals and, for the first half of the…
All Bar One
62-72 St Vincent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 5TS
It is predominantly the suits who tend to flock en masse to the honey interior of this large, airy, central district bar. It is particularly popular with groups of office employees out for a quick lunch midweek or for a longer Friday night drink after…
Amalfi Pizzeria
148 West Nile Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 2RQ
Serving inexpensive Italian classics, this city centre restaurant has an unexpectedly low-key and intimate atmosphere considering its location just off the bustling eastern end of Sauchiehall Street. The menu proudly recalls that the likes of Dean…
Amarone
2 Nelson Mandela Place, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1BT
Having only opened in 2006, the often packed dining room here on weeknights suggests that this restaurant from the DiMaggio team has hit the ground running. Its advantageous city centre location and smart setting attracts well-dressed couples and large…
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…
Amber Regent
50 West Regent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 2QZ
From the welcoming smile that greets you as you hand over your coat in the cloakroom, Amber Regent is as comfortable and relaxed as going round to a good friend's for the evening. Maybe it's the curtain swags framing the paintings on the walls and the…
An Lochan
340 Crow Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT
Enjoy a meal at An Lochan (formerly Café Royale) and you'll not only have chef Claire McKie to thank but also Mary, Shonna, Arthur and Winston. These ladies and gentlemen are responsible for catching, gathering and shooting the scallops, oysters…
L'Aragosta
213-215 St Andrew's Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 1PD
With its walls adorned with green, white and red stripes, shots of the national football team and even a signed photograph of actor/director Roberto Benigni, there's no doubting in which nation this restaurant's heart lies. Since taking over in 2006…
Arcaffe
11 North Claremont Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7NR
This restaurant, only open on weekdays, caters mainly to local professionals who are after an upscale lunch without having to make a trip into the city centre. The smart setting, proficient staff and well-presented dishes ensure that this is a handy…
The Arches Café Bar
253 Argyle Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
Being underground isn't just about subterranean existence - being underground is, of course, the supreme height of cool. The Arches Café Bar transcends semantics by being both down in the basement and undeniably hip. Designed by Glasgow design stars…
Argan Café
1166-1170 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
PLEASE NOTE: THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOW CLOSED
Review written spring 2007.
The décor of Argan Café is airy, reasonably elegant and quietly welcoming: white walls, wooden flooring and the choice of art conspire to create an impression of suave…
Arigo
67 Kilmarnock Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
As the 14th edition of the List Eating & Drinking Guide goes to press, word has come that Arigo is now under the management of Bacco Italia Ltd, which runs a smaller café/restaurant further down the road.
L'Ariosto
92-94 Mitchell Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3NQ
Entering the elegant marble doorway to be greeted by well groomed staff, the feeling is that L'Ariosto is designed to impress, and with almost 40 years of practice, it really does. Seating surrounds the dance floor in a dining area constructed to…
Arisaig
140 St Vincent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 5LA
Arisaig's co-owners, Stephen Bonomi and Naveed Rashid, have an admirable commitment to 'local food for local people', as it were, putting well-sourced produce into contemporary new forms for an understated take on Scotland with style. Elegant…
Art Lovers' Café
House for an Art Lover, Bellahouston Park, 10 Dumbreck Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 5BW
On a walk around Glasgow's House for an Art Lover, a mansion based on Charles Rennie Mackintosh's drawings and not built till 1990, the serenity of Bellahouston Park might lull even the highest of blood pressures to a gentle sense of calm. Even inside…
Arta
The Old Cheesemarket, 62 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1PA
A club, bar, restaurant and VIP lounge in one, Arta is a jewel in the crown of Stefan King's G1 empire. The vast, remodelled interior of the Merchant City's old cheesemarket recalls the set of some particularly lush Fellini epic - a phantasmagoria of…
The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7AR
Despite the name, this is a family-run business and not part of Harlequin Leisure's Ashoka chain. It was also one of the four establishments to represent Glasgow when the city won the title of curry capital of the UK in 2006. Owner Syrus Bavarsagh takes…
Ashoka Ashton Lane
19 Ashton Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
Boasting a prime location in the very heart of the West End on cobbled Ashton Lane, this is the busiest of the 13 Harlequin curry houses in Glasgow and is open from noon till late all week (except Sundays, when service starts at 5pm). The area attracts…
Ashoka at the Mill
500 Corselet Road, Darnley, Southside,
Glasgow,
G53 7RN
Opened in 2000, Ashoka at the Mill is one of the Harlequin group's most modern additions to its popular Glasgow empire. It's located in a converted farmhouse in the southside area of Darnley, and there's a firm family focus in this cavernous restaurant…
Ashoka Bearsden
9 Kirk Road, Bearsden,
Glasgow,
G61 3RG
The Bearsden outpost of the Harlequin Group, Europe's largest chain of Indian restaurants, received a successful makeover in 2006. The deep red colour scheme has been replaced with fresh creams and browns, enhanced with colonial artefacts, Indian…
Ashoka Southside
268 Clarkston Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G44 3EA
The Harlequin Group has been serving curries in and around Glasgow for more than 20 years, a sign that its formula works. The Ashoka Southside outlet offers a pleasant, though vaguely conventional, dining experience. The restaurant is cosy and looks…
Ashoka West End
1284 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8AB
From the branded crockery to the standardised menu design, there's no mistaking that the Ashoka West End is very much part of the Harlequin group. That said, there's plenty about this branch - the first and oldest in the chain, opened in 1973 - that…
Asia Style Chinese & Malaysian Restaurant
185-189 St George's Road, West End,
Glasgow,
After a change in management in 2006, Asia Style - the informal café/diner with low-price meals - carries on at its slightly-off-the-beaten-track location. It is south of St George's Cross, near one of the M8's minor noodle junctions. Traditional…
Aurora
Langs Hotel, 2 Port Dundas Place, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3LD
Although this place is only open two nights a week and is smaller than Langs' other restaurant, Oshi [see Far East], Aurora's menu is clearly no afterthought. The carefully presented range of ambitious dishes compensates for fairly bland surroundings on…
Aziza Café Bazaar
407 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HN
In early 2007, tiny Aziza Café Bazaar on Great Western Road moved to more spacious accommodation on the other side of Kelvin Bridge. The additional room allows charming owner Azmina Ali to up the ante on special event nights, which range from guest…
Babbity Bowster
16-18 Blackfriars Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1PE
See also Schottische restaurant above Babbity Bowster.
Baby Grand
3-7 Elmbank Gardens, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4NQ
The original Baby Grand, in contrast to its West End and Merchant City outlets [see below], offers a Manhattan-style bar and diner. The venture mixes glass-topped tables and softly-glowing tapered candles with an open galley kitchen at one end of the…
Baby Grand/West End
2 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 5NY
Occupying a prime position at the foot of Byres Road, the Baby Grand West End adds a touch of extra elegance to the scene at Partick Cross. In premises more spacious and swish than the Charing Cross flagship, relaxed and friendly staff mill effortlessly…
Bacchus
80 Glassford Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1UR
Refurbished and revived in May 2005 after a fire in the nightclub above that caused substantial water damage, Bacchus is again a laid-back style bar that has retained its pre-club atmosphere and a reliable clientele of diners. Its extensive menu reads…
Balbir's
7 Church Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 5JP
The latest enterprise in a career that began at 17 and includes the opening of the first Ashoka in the 1980s, Balbir Singh Sumal has just transformed a Little Chef in Ayrshire into a roadside Indian diner. His greatest achievement to date, however, is…
Balti Club
66 Woodlands Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 6HA
Previously called the Pakora Bar - a takeaway specialising for many years in (unsurprisingly enough) the vaunted Punjabi fritter - the Balti Club opened in 2005, offering a broader selection of traditional and speciality halaal dishes, alongside a…
The Bank
443 Clarkston Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G44 3LL
The ageing architecture of this former bank building has been given a bright and modern lift by this busy, yet chilled-out, local bar and bistro, with its squishy brown leather sofas, huge red lampshades, bold black and white curtains and chunky wooden…
Bar Bloc Bar Bloc
117 Bath Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
The Spartan décor of this city centre basement bar - black walls, industrial columns, red leather seating - is perhaps intended to evoke secret student hangouts in Cold War Russia. The menu quotes a fictitious letter from Stalin: 'Dear Mr McConnell, I…
Bar Bola
144 Park Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HB
Once upon a time, Bar Bola's curvaceous shapes and wiggly cast-iron fittings might have placed it in 'style bar' territory. But, over the years, it has managed to age rather gracefully as an unassuming, chilled-out bar/bistro that welcomes lots of…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
The loft space above one of the jewels in Glasgow's informal eating crown needs little introduction to west coast foodies. Although it's relatively tiny inside, the high, sloped attic ceiling, deep bar and open plan kitchen make it seem more spacious.
Bar Kandi
185 Hope Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 2UL
Having revived its reputation as a stylish weekend destination (after a change of hands and name a while back), Bar Kandi has also developed a degree of humility since its Candy Bar days: it rarely feels like somewhere reserved only for the beautiful…
Bar Milano
2 Mains Avenue, Eastwood Toll, Southside,
Glasgow,
G46 6QZ
Taking pride of place within the menu, a black and white photograph circa 1930 gives some context to the attractive Southside property that now houses this well-designed pizzeria. The former bank is surrounded by potentially dwarfing developments but…
Bar 91
91 Candleriggs, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
Smart, understated and eschewing the pretentious touches that make some Merchant City establishments appear uptight, Bar 91 enjoys a robust lunchtime trade. Yet the wait for a table is handled deftly and there's no inducement to hurry once a seat is…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
Bar Soba pulls off the feat of being a stylish city centre bar with the warmth and easy-going attitude of a local. The downstairs restaurant operates during the busier nights of the week and food is served upstairs in the bar at other times. Although…
Bar 10
10 Mitchell Lane, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
Owner Mark Hendry is probably no stranger to the saying: 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' For while other ventures undergo frequent face lifts to keep up with the competition, at Bar 10 little has changed in the past decade. Reminiscent of a…
Barbarossa
3-5 Clarkston Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G44 4EF
This Southside favourite, a regular on our hitlist, has mastered a winning recipe of exceptional food served in stylish, welcoming surroundings by conscientious staff. The menu is a fusion of Italian and Scottish cooking, with lasagne and antipasti…
Barca Tapas and Cava Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Barca exudes a casual Mediterranean warmth and understated class that feels far from the showy chatter of Princes Square. Predominant shades of red, orange, gold and brown find vivid focus in a painting of a menacing bull, while refined hits from the…
Battlefield Rest
55 Battlefield Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9JL
The Rest started out life as a busy tram station and, after winning a battle against demolition in the 1990s, was born again as one of the Southside's best-loved Italian restaurants. The busy intersection on which it sits belies a relaxed warmth and…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
This West End stalwart has long been popular with those looking for something a bit different. While the city offers more in this vein today, the Bay Tree remains a favourite of vegetarians and vegans (it was once completely meat-free). It draws…
Beanscene
16 Cresswell Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…

Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
It's not often that one establishment can cater for almost ever occasion, but Bella Napoli gives it a good shot. This family-run Southside favourite is fronted by a colourful, brightly-lit café and delicatessen - the latter selling an array of Italian…
Bellahouston Park
16 Dumbreck Road,
Glasgow,
G41 5BW
Scotland
Both culture and exercise are possible at Bellahouston Park, southwest of the city centre. As well as the House for an Art Lover, the odd concert has been held here including Coldplay in 2005, and there is a leisure centre plus infinite walking, cycling…
Ben Nevis
1147 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TB
Scotland
Inspired by its designer's West Highland ancestry, the Ben Nevis is a cramped, quirkily assembled pub that indulges the celebrated Ranald McColl's fondness for 'natural' materials, from the 'Highland faultline' along the floor, to the organic angles and…
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…
The Big Blue
445 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HH
The window for open air dining in Glasgow may be brief, but when it's ajar, the Big Blue cashes in on its sun-trap location just above the banks of the River Kelvin. Even when the weather isn't conducive to eating outdoors, the brightly coloured mosaics…
Big Slope
36a Kelvingrove Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7SA
One of Glasgow's original style bars, Air Organic's space-age interior lost its lunar lustre long before its 2006 closure. In its place, Big Slope has offered a breath of fresh mountain air, taking its name and inspiration from hunting lodges in the…
Bistro at One Devonshire Gardens
1 Devonshire Gardens, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 OUX
The Bistro at One Devonshire Gardens dares to ditch Glasgow's famed gallus vigour for Gallic elegance - symbolically, pitch-black blinds block out busy Great Western Road. Inside, a fastidiously polite head waiter and a helpfully ruminative sommelier…
Bite
34 Gordon Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3PU
Scotland
Combining fashion with the functional, Bite has got Glasgow's surfers, skaters and boarders covered. With a tag line of 'more salt, less sugar', the smallish outlet consistently delivers the goods for coldwater surfers in particular, stocking a…
Blackfriars
36 Bell Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LG
Scotland
One of the more traditional pubs in the Merchant City, Blackfriars has an exceptionally broad appeal. With five cask ales among 20 beers on tap, plus more than 40 international brews in bottles, it's a popular destination for an after-work pint. The…
Blackfriars
36 Bell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LG
Scotland
A homely, versatile pub of all trades, Blackfriars is frequented by everybody, from office workers escaping for a quick pint after work, to students and older regulars stealing the best seats. Yet, any weekend the numbers will suddenly halve as the…
