Great recommendation from the front desk at the Doubletree Hotel, which was around the corner. We had just arrived in Glasgow from a long travel day, the restaurant was crowded, but they found a spot for us. First of all, the service was awesome. Everyone was super nice, friendly and efficient. Ordered the lamb dinner, and beef short ribs. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. Got a Romanian red wine--never had Romanian wine before, but it was good. Great atmosphere, cute restaurant--loved the whisky display! We also went to their sister restaurant around the corner, Kelp. Amazing seafood! Same situation: it was crowded, we didn't have reservations, but they made room for us. Kelp was definitely a highlight of the food in Scotland. Beyond excellent! If you are in Glasgow, I would highly recommend both places. read more

Holy scott! Just simply amazing food. Stellar service. It's a high end dining experience but still semi casual (no need to dress up). There's options around 15£ but typical plates are 20-35£. We were so hungry we forgot to take dinner pics; we had the Slow Braised Short Rib (uh-freakin-mazing!!) the Chicken Breast (juicy & cuts with a fork) and the Venison Stew (tasted like Filet). Drinks were delightful. Service was stellar (and they were FULLY booked on a Thursday at 8pm; but we shared the 2 tiny hi-top tables near the bar and had an amazing dinner). Dessert was worth going for all on it's own! read more

We had a totally lovely evening dining at this restaurant. The inside is quite modern looking, and the service is on point. We shared a scallop appetizer, and those are really fresh and flavorful. We wish there were more of it! I like their version of haggis, and my husband enjoyed his venison stew as well. I was glad they offer half pints for around £3 each as we are not big drinkers. Definitely our favorite meal while in Glasgow. read more

Incredible restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, huge menu and delicious food! I made a reservation for a large party while we were in town and we were greeted immediately upon arrival and shown to a beautiful table. The menu is huge and there are so many delicious options that are sure to please everyone. They also have an impressive cocktail list. I got the Lowland Buzz, which is gin, honey, lemon and Prosecco. It was so good! I'm not normally a gin person but apparently Scottish gin is where it's at because it was fantastic. For an appetizer, I got the Caithness Lamb & Haggis Koftas, which was incredible. It was essentially lamb and haggis on a Flatbread. So good! For my main, I got the Seafood Stew, which was delicious. There were a ton of mussels and fish, and I loved every bite. Overall, I can't recommend Ardnamurchan enough. It's a great way to try classic Scottish food with a fun, creative flair! read more

The food was outstanding and our waitress was lovely. The three course dinner (available before 6) was phenomenal and we highly recommend it. Every recommendation our waitress made was spot on- vegetarian haggis, seafood stew, smoked salmon, skink, sticky toffee pudding.... All just wonderful. The hostess almost scared us away but we are glad we stayed because everything else was just wonderful. read more

While taking a day trip to Glasgow, walked what seemed like forever off the beaten path to have small bites at this restaurant located across from the theatre that was showing Hamilton. We weren't really hungry so we ordered a couple of appetizers and drinks. We ordered the scallops and an order of potatoes. I ordered the elderflower and cucumber fizz mocktail. OMG! The scallops were perfectly cooked and delicious! I was tempted to order more but needed to head back. The mocktail was so refreshing and the perfect composition. Who needs alcohol when you can have this! This restaurant was filled with a very mature crowd who looked professional. I didn't see anyone under 50 except wait staff. The aesthetic wasn't exciting and dated, and not the kind of cool dated one appreciates with pubs that have been around for 100 plus years. Nonetheless, the food and drink were delish and the service very efficient. The price point was on the higher side so come prepared if having at least a 2 course meal to spend about $33/pp. for entree alone. read more

I'll preface this review by saying that our server wasn't a big fan of two young ladies, dressed in leggings/hiking gear, laughing their heads off during their whole meal. He could've been nicer but he wasn't and when his shift was done just before we were done with food, nobody bothered to tell us who our new server was going to be. So, the service could be better. It wasn't like we were making fun of him. The restaurant itself is nice, semi-upscale. We made a reservation just in case and I'm glad that we did. It was pretty packed for a Tues night. We ordered the black pudding fritters, the appetizer version of their Haggis, the pan seared fillet of cod, the Cullen skink and the cranachan for dessert. The black pudding fritters were excellent. They came with a marmalade and a salad which were very good too. The cod was delicious - melt in the mouth with a side of wonderfully warm and creamy lobster bisque, a crunchy potato mash and a finger licking scallop roe cream. The Cullen skink is the Scottish version of a clam chowder - this was less creamy than what clam chowders are like, but delicious all the same. The Haggis was ok. Nothing outright bad about it but I had better haggis in Edinburgh. I'm glad we took the appetizer size, not the entree size. The cranachan was lovely. I'm not a big fan of oats, but if you give them to me with raspberries, cream and liquer, I will eat the whole thing! The pricing is on the slightly expensive side. But overall, the food was good and we had a good time. read more

We came in because I saw their market menu and felt it was a good value and I wanted to try traditional Scottish food. The ambience is nice and warm and buzzing. For the market menu, the appetizers were tastiest and the main courses were okay but not as interesting. In retrospect, I'm not sure if it was as good of a value as I thought especially since I saw better items on former market menus. The service was extremely slow and disorganized. It was really unclear who our waitstaff was and we had a really hard time getting their attention. They were very friendly but we had to ask multiple times for basic things and they would say yes and go do something else for another table or even chat behind the bar. When it came to the check, we ended up having to go up to the counter to pay because we waited so long for someone to come check us out. We spent over two hours here and mostly waiting and trying to get the attention of any staff member. read more

My husband and I made reservations for this glorious restaurant in Glasgow. It was some of the best food we had while in Glasgow. The restaurant is beautiful and I loved the aesthetic. The cocktails were delicious and well made. We had their take on haggis, neeps and tatties to start. It was very good and among some of the best haggis we had. For dinner my husband got sirloin and chips on the side. I ordered the market seafood stew and was in heaven. The stew was so delicious and the perfect t temperature, I still think about this meal all the time! Visiting this restaurant is a great memory for my husband and I. We loved the service we received and would gladly return again! read more

Food was very good. We tried the haggis, tatties & neeps as a starter. I had a roast chicken dish and my friend had a squash dish. The squash dish was very flavourful and delicious. The chicken was good, but nothing special. Our server seemed a bit inexperienced, but was friendly and polite. The restaurant was spacious, well lit, and tastefully decorated. A bit sterile for my taste, but very good. read more

Food was so good, the platter for different sampler items was the way to and the dessert was so so good too! Great drinks!

It's a while since I've been in here, but the food was as good as I remembered. We were in early, at 5.15pm, for a pre-theatre meal and it was just as well that we'd booked in advance as it started to get very busy shortly after we arrived. Luckily, they'd put us at a table in a quiet rear corner so it didn't get too noisy. For starters, I had the Tobermory Fish Co. smoked salmon and smoked trout, which was really nice without being too filling. This left plenty of room for the Loch Lomond Foraged Girolles and Chestnut Risotto, which I *think* is vegan, despite looking rather creamy? It's labelled (v, va) but I think that 'va' should be 'vg' for vegan. Anyway, I didn't seem to suffer any of my usual dairy intolerance effects, so I think it's safe! Jolly nice too. I passed on the desserts in favour of one of their signature Chocolate Orange Espresso Martinis (Absolut vodka shaken hard with cacao blanc liqueur, triple sec, simple syrup & espresso, sprinkled with chocolate powder and orange zest garnish). Wow! That certainly kept me awake through the performance afterwards! read more

We came to this place for lunch and left extremely satisfied. The interior is tastefully decorated, felt very cozy and warm. We ordered the 3-course market menu and it was a lot for both of us. We had to take some of the food home. Everything was delicious and just the perfect amount of flavor. The market menu offers a great variety of dishes to try: We started with the soup and the goat cheese, then had our main plates: the chicken and the venison stew. Both were great and very filling, and it was so much food we had to take some home. Lastly, we got this amazing toffee bread pudding with a side of ice cream. It was to die for, so good and tasty. Would definitely recommend coming here for lunch. The beer selection is good and the whiskey choices were also plentiful. read more

What a place, so sophisticated, charming and authentically Scottish, expect stag's, haggis and whisky and Scottish music playing gently in the background. Staff were welcoming, accommodating and on the ball, service was fast and efficient and food was delicious, I chose something a little different which was the rhubarb and green lentil curry with basmati rice, flatbread and toasted cashews which doesn't sound like a great combination but it was superb! I had 3 courses and expected the bill to be expensive but was shocked by how reasonable it was for such a classy place, I would highly recommend visiting, you won't regret it! read more

Our hotel our first night in Scotland was just around the corner so we went by to see if we could get a table without a reservation. Luckily we could get a bistro table in the bar, we were fine with it. Definitely worth the effort to make a reservation. The waiter was happy to help us find the right whiskey to start our journey. The Cullen Skink was wonderful, as was the smoked salmon. A great place to start our Scotland adventure read more

Absolutely delicious!!! And the service was stellar! The restaurant is inviting and a wonderful place to be!

In town for a conference and this place was recommended. Was MUCH surprised by this very up-to-date rustic/farmhouse chic vibe. The menu was small but filled with delicious options. I had the langoustine appetizer and the venison pave dinner. AHHHHMAZING. I asked the waiter for a sweet cocktail (I don't like being able to taste the alcohol) and he recommended the French Martini. Perfect complement to the slightly spiced venison. read more

We're a couple of foodies from Florida passing through Glasgow and wanted to try authentic Scottish cuisine. At the reception they asked if we had reservations and I am very thankful that we were not turned away. We ordered the Haggis as appetizer and it was amazingly good! Our server was super nice and asked if we'd ever had it and explained what we were looking at. My wife had the venison stew and really liked it. I had the Cullen Skink which is a soup with haddock, leak and potatoes. It was really good and came with generous bread and butter. Finally we had both hot puddings in the menu and we both loved them. The bill for this 3-course meal came at £40, which is really great for the quality and service. The restaurant has a relaxed modern atmosphere but great for families. To the server and staff, you have represented your city and Scotland very well. You went out of your way to make our one day in Glasgow very memorable! read more

Hands down the best food in Scotland. OK. That might be overstated, but I don't think I would be far off. The venison stew was perhaps the most balanced delicious meal that I've had with deer. I grew up eating deer on a weekly basis and thought that whoever prepared this knew how to respect that type of meat and knew how to bring out the flavors. The bread was EXCELLENT and service something I would expect from a 5 star restaurant. The Cullen Skink is a must try. I can't wait to visit Glasgow again just to come here. read more

I am currently here in Glasgow only visiting for the day, and this restaurant was recommended to me by someone at the front desk of the hotel where I'm staying. I walked over to the restaurant in the rain to try and eat here, seeing as it was my first night in Scotland and I wanted to try some Scottish food. I asked kindly if there was a table for one, I was told no. I asked if there were seats available at the bar, again I was told no...even when I saw multiple seats open with no one sitting there. I asked about the seats that were there, the hostess told me "you can't sit there." There was another seat next to a girl at the other side of the bar...I was told by the hostess "that's too close, you can't sit there" - which makes me wonder why the seat was there in the first place or if this hostess has ever eaten at a bar in the US or anywhere else where people are THAT close. When I asked about reservations, I was told they were all booked when a couple had literally gotten a reservation right before me. I was so disappointed about this experience and it really left a bad taste in my mouth. It's the first time I've actually felt "less than" by being a solo traveler. read more

My partner exclaimed it was one of the best meals she has had in recent memory. Next time in Glasgow we're definitely going back! read more

Excellent Scottish food options. Cullen Skink soup was excellent as was the scallop appetizer.

OMG. Are you wanting to have the best calamari or squid this has to be the place. Not only is the squid amazing but the scallops are a pleasure to the palate that will Overwhelm your taste buds. Glasgow has a hidden gem in this restaurant that must be discovered. The decor is warm and welcoming with it's beautiful brick walls and brick quoins corners. You will always feel at home. Now for the main course. I was a little disappointed in the rib eye steak as it lacks flavor and bit on the cold side. Tony had the fillet which was much better. It's still Earl here in Glasgow so I have hope. read more

Ardnamurchan is really as good as it gets. My colleagues strongly recommended this place prior to my arrival in town and I was blown away. I rarely come to the same restaurant twice abroad, but I had to come back and try a second meal. They specialize in the traditional recipes, but with modern updates. Usually that concept runs amuck, but they are very successful at it. You are greeted with warm atmosphere and friendly chat directing you to your place. I sat at the bar both times solo, but met people both times to talk to. They are very friendly in Glasgow. The first suggestion was the haggis and wow, I am so glad that I tried it here first. I do not want to eat it at any other restaurant for the fear that it would never live up to how great it is here. The flavor was incredible and the mince was a dense paste without chunks or grit. The nips and taddies were equally portioned and equally as good. The Scottish sure know how to make mashed potatoes. You can just eat each item solo or mix everything together into a nice blend of flavor. I was full for the rest of the day. Day two was the venison pie. I have had mashed potatoes everyday for three days and was all mashed out. Opted for the chips this time. The venison that was minced and stewed was sensational. Great savory flavor with some traditional hunter's spices. The flake on top was light and wispy, not the normal heavy puff pastry. Heaven. Leo the barman and server during lunch was awesome and friendly. We had a lot of great conversation and laughs. He offered excellent beer suggestions. I have been drinking nonstop since I arrived in Scotland, but he was able to convince me I needed to try more. Johnny the manager was equally as awesome. He personally selected the 60 whiskies they had on the bar. Each that was able to target their specific drinker. He offered up a good 12 year old to settle my meal. I hope I can come to Scotland again and come and hang out here for dinner. I heard the salmon and mussels were some of the best fish my colleagues ever had. Best wishes to the restaurant and to the people that come here after reading this review. read more

Leo walked us through everything so well. Three GREAT whiskey recommendations as well a few good distilleries to go see. The food was the second part.
