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…
The Loft Bar & Restaurant
The Grosvenor Theatre, Ashton Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
This casual bar/restaurant (in the G1 Group) sprawls under the vast baroque ceiling of the original Grosvenor Cinema. Being just a stone's throw from the Glasgow University campus, the place bustles predominantly with trendy students dressed up for a…
The Grill Room at the Square
29 Royal Exchange Square, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
What a room with a view: long glass windows at this upstairs restaurant maximise the 'wow' effect of the fairy lights strung across Royal Exchange Square. Tasteful, elegant furniture blends in nicely to the upmarket setting for the Grill Room at the…
La Tasca
39-43 Renfield Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1JS
Given the somewhat booming Spanish music - with riotously colourful over-the-top decor to match - first time visitors here might worry that they're in for the Iberian equivalent of a classic resort 'English breakfast'. But relax (if you can stop your…
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…
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…
Chow
98 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
Chow is one of the Byres Road's true success stories. Inside this tiny Chinese bistro, the décor - teak tables in booths - offers an intimacy that is unfussy and welcoming. The often innovative menu allows repeat custom to get more adventurous with each…
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…
Guy's
24 Candleriggs, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LD
Guy Cowan presides personally over the wide range of styles and influences that characterise his eponymous restaurant in the heart of the Merchant City. Somewhat surprisingly, touches of grandma's parlour melded with personalised 'pop art' (including a…
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…
Tron Theatre
63 Trongate, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5HB
Scotland
Once upon a time, the Tron was the undisputed hub of Glasgow's art crowd. A constant coterie of theatre lovers mingled with other creative types in this vaunted Glasgow arts venue for cutting-edge drama and low-key musical events. However, with the…
Two Fat Ladies
118a Blythswood Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4EG
The second Two Fat Ladies restaurant may be that rare thing - a sequel that's better than the original. The first, at 88 Dumbarton Road, remains a good place to eat, but the new city centre enterprise (open for two years against the West End unit's 17…
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…
The Butterfly & the Pig
153 Bath Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4SQ
Scotland
Unique, and maybe just a little zany, this flighty butterfly and dashing pig have made a rather refreshing splash across the Glasgow pub food scene. Eclectic retro décor typified by wingback chairs, velvet poufs, art deco crockery and odd, narrative…
The Italian Kitchen
64 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1EX
Decorated in shades of red and cream, the sleek style of the Italian Kitchen is typical of this rather fashion-conscious part of Glasgow. In addition to pasta, risotto or Scotch fillet steaks (ranging from 9oz to 16oz), the menu features main courses…
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…
Salsa
63 Carlton Place, Southside,
Glasgow,
G5 9TW
Slowly, in the candle-lit space, all becomes clear: a sombrero, cowhide patches, earthy walls with photographs of poised Mexicans checking that tortillas are properly folded. This cosy basement venture near the Clyde is an easy walk from the city centre…
SECC: Clyde Auditorium
Finnieston Quay,
Glasgow,
G8 8YW
Scotland
The massive -- if rather hangar-like -- Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (known to most as the SECC) is one of the largest and best such facility in Scotland. It's the place to come for large exhibitions such as the Scottish Ideal Home…
Corinthian
191 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1DA
Glasgow's former union banking hall dating from the 19th century provides an impressive grade A listed backdrop to this multi-spaced emporium of eating and drinking. Neon lights under the spectacular glass dome of the Lite bar, and staff in stylish…
Cruise
180-188 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DN
Scotland
Mecca for Glasgow's fashionistas, Cruise is the unrivalled home for those who love to label. Gucci, Prada, D&G, Armani, Fendi, Helmut Lang and Moschino are just a few of the hard hitters you can expect to find tastefully arranged against the backdrop of…
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…
Louis' Grill
18 Gibson Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX
Gibson Street is fast becoming a dining hot-spot in the West End and relative newcomer, Louis' Grill, only adds to the allure. Owned by the same team as No Sixteen restaurant [see Scottish] but aimed at a broader and arguably more casual market, this…
Mono
12 King's Court King Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5RB
Scotland
Tucked beneath a largely neglected railway line, Mono is a well-used junction of food and music, where diners can browse in the indie record shop Monorail before tucking into down-to-earth vegetarian and dairy-free food. With its cream brick walls and…
OKO Express
78 Queen Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3DN
Oko Express aims to be a quick refuelling stop for workers, shoppers and passers-by, hence the addition of 'Express' and relocation from the original Merchant City location. Not that it isn't somewhere to linger over a meal; this is a smaller, cosier…
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…
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…
Chinaski's
239 North Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
An unassuming exterior lacking apparent signage lends Chinaski's a certain immediate hipness. It is inspired in name by barfly/writer Charles Bukowki's alter ego, and there are subtle references to the beat writer, though with no theme-bar triteness…
Dragon-i
311-313 Hope Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Dark wood, red walls and mirrors create a sophisticated ambience to go with the innovative food in Dragon-i. The lighting may seem subdued, but the concealed ceiling spots over the tables illuminate the colour and texture in the imaginative fusion…
Lombardi's Ristorante Grill
Unit 4/5, Merchant Square, Candleriggs, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
For less than a year, this place traded as Bistro Julienne but in Spring 2007 it swapped its French theme for a more familiar Italian orientation. The 'outdoor' terrace inside the Merchant Square development) remains: as good a way as any to experience…
Maggie May's
50 Trongate Merchant City, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
What a difference a year makes. Now under the same management as Òran Mór, Maggie May (formerly Bluu) feels like a properly thought-out operation. The pursuit of cool is replaced by warmth, with reds and browns, muted lighting and a mix of dining chairs…
