This was a higher rated local pub we tried and about a 12 minute walk from our Hilton. It was…read moreearly at 5:00pm and not busy. 3 of the 4 of us ordered the fish and chips (17.95 GBP) just to try another joint. The wife ordered their "Fisherman" which is pan seared Scottish coley or pollock (for 27 GBP). The battered fish with the chips was more delicately done here and delicious. As an aside I tried several times to find a place here in Glasgow or in Edinburgh that did a "special" fish and chips, that is breaded with crumbs and not battered, but apparently no one does that healthier old school preparation anymore (and I need to inform my old work colleague who hailed from Glasgow and gave me this inside tip that it's not practiced anymore). I also had a Chieftain IPA. The side of peas were dryish and not flavorful and small portioned and not done as well and tasty as I have had in London or Perth, just saying. We also had their sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert and that was good. The fries were mediocre. Server was friendly and attentive. 4 stars overall and a nice local flavor Glasgow outing.

We first came here five years ago (was it really that long?) when it was still 'An Lochan'. I heard…read morea rumour that they changed the name because people kept asking them who 'An' was... are people really that thick? It's changed a lot since then - physically there seem to be more tables than I remember, and the menu is now a single-page affair of broad-spectrum Scottish fare including meat dishes, whereas before it was a multi-page seafood-only extravaganza. I still fondly remember the shared seafood platter... mmmmm. However, although the menu may have downsized, the quality is still as high as ever. I started with crab spring rolls with a chilli jam dip, which were light and very tasty, followed by a Thai-style seafood medley in coconut sauce, which managed to carry a fair degree of kick without overwhelming the delicate flavours of the fish. Delicious. Herself had scallops to start, which were really fresh and cooked to perfection, and followed this with the lemon sole with salmon mousse. I had been tempted by this, but when it arrived I was quite glad I hadn't picked it as it looked a bit too creamy for my taste. Yet it disappeared without trace so clearly was appreciated! We were both hungry enough to manage a dessert - Herself had a kiwi and mango pavlova that seemed absolutely huge; I went for an intriguing coffee jelly in brandy snap basket with caramel sauce, although I declined the clotted cream option. I wasn't sure about the coffee jelly as it was a very different taste, but maybe it would grow on me over time. Overall, a fantastic meal; good portions, superb presentation, perfectly cooked and generally scrumptious all round. Although it was pretty full when we arrived for the early evening shift, the staff were attentive and helpful at explaining everything on the menu (to my disappointment, it turned out that a 'financier' on the dessert menu had nothing to do with accountants). The chairs are sumptuous and comfortable, although some could do with replacing as the seats are getting a bit on the saggy side; luckily cushions had been provided for those that were a bit too far gone. Oh - and there's a giant pink and yellow raffia giraffe called Felicity in the gent's loo... I have no idea why, but it's quirky and I like it.

Staff were warm and friendly, and we were immediately served complimentary bread, oil, olives and a jug of fruit-infused iced water - top marks for the welcome! Service and wait time was no issue as we were the only folks dining there (unsurprising as 3.30pm IS an odd time to be eating I suppose). I tried 4 of the tapas dishes - Guiso de Garbanzos (a slow-cooked chickpea stew in a herby tomato sauce), Tempura Vegetal (bite-size pieces of broccoli, cauliflower, courgette and carrot coated in a light crisp batter and served with a sweet chilli dip), Patatas Bravas (a tapas staple, this one was like roast potatoes with a thick tomato sauce on top), and a tapas-sized serving of the Paella de Verduras (which differed slightly from the description in the menu - no courgette or aubergine, but the mix of broccoli, carrots, peas, peppers and delicious savoury rice was fine without). The restaurant is fully licensed, however I had a nice fruity mocktail as I was out with the car. We really enjoyed the meal and I'm sure we'll be back again.

I was here last month to try the Spanish menu of the restaurant…read more I was pretty impressed about how the restaurant makes you feel in a real Spanish restaurant, decoration, free nibble while you wait for your main courses etc. We ordered: champiñones al ajillo (mushsrooms with garlic) morcilla rebozada (black pudding), gambas rebozadas (prawns), croquetas y carne guisada (lamb cubic). The best one was the lamb, really similar as the Spanish, and really tasty. Mushrooms and prawns were really good too and with the same elaboration as in my country. The less Spanish for us were the croquetas and morcilla, croquetas because the inside wasn't as creamy as they suppossed to be, and morcilla because in Spain most of the time we eat in smaller quantity and just themselves without the tempura. We also tried one of the wines from our region in Spain (12£) the bottle and was soooo good! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are nearby Paisley.

She made excellent suggestions for our mains so we went with the venison, monkfish and lamb. Each was better than the last! Venison melts in your mouth!

A Hidden Gem on Ashton Lane…read more Located on the fabulous and trendy Ashton Lane, this place is anything but typical. From the moment you step in, you can tell you're in for something special. The atmosphere is gorgeous -- a bright glass ceiling, lush plants all around, and a rustic stone floor that creates the perfect mix of romantic and relaxed. It feels ideal for a date night but also welcoming for families and friends. The food here is definitely on the high-end side, and while the portions are small for the price, what you're really paying for is excellence. Every bite showcases the chefs' skill, creativity, and attention to detail. The quality and flavor are absolutely superb -- the kind of dining experience you simply won't find anywhere else. We ordered the Pigeon Breast, Bramble, Chicory, Walnut , the Tenderstem Broccoli and the Organic Arran Leaf & Herb Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette, and both dishes completely blew us away. The flavor combinations were thoughtful, unique, and perfectly balanced. This is one of those special spots worth treating yourself to at least once. Whether it's a romantic evening or a celebration with friends, it's an unforgettable dining experience on one of Glasgow's most charming lanes.

We were shown to our seats and offered drinks by one server. A few minutes later another server came to take our order, and throughout the meal any server walking by our fable stopped to check everything was ok. Our drinks had unlimited refills to which they made sure to top up every time. We went around 8pm for dinner and were still In time for the "tea time menu". This menu had a good selection of food from the main menu but everything was around £2 cheaper. I'm not sure if they were smaller portions that the main menu but if they were it made no odds, the portions were great! For starters we had some potato skins (£3). There were 3 skins on each plate so we had 2 plate and shared. These were decent size skins and topped with cheddar cheese and bacon and were cooked perfectly, the cheese was soft and the skins nice and crispy. For the mains we all ordered something different, again from the "tea time menu". I decided to have fish and chips (£9.95), a change from my usual portion of ribs. Half rack of BBQ ribs were available on the menu for only £9. Fish was cooked in a thin crispy beer batter and good amount of handcut potato fries. Both were delicious! My wife had a portion of Macaroni and cheese (£6.95) (one of my favourites!) which was big enough a portion that she couldn't finish! My sister ordered the Rustic Italian pasta (£10.95) which again was delicious. Her only complaint was the sauce was quite oiley which filled her up quicker. Finally my dad ordered the 8oz classic Roma burger (£8.95). This was a classic burger topped with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onions and pickles. All the food arrived quickly and together, and the service made our evening! Big thanks to our servers Greg and Natasha for a great meal!

There were plenty of booths and tables. At first it looked really busy (good sign) with plenty of families tucking into their food. Walking round, we found a booth straight away. Usual style of pub grub you would expect, with many coming in 'big plate' portions as well as standard servings. With pub favourite dishes being offered at two for £8.99, it's reasonably priced. Every day, they have a different offer on too; tonight was a free starter/dessert if you otdered a big plate. Ordering is done at the bar. I ordered the chicken skewers with piri piri sauce, lemon rice and a side salad with a coke. The waitress quivkly brought over a stand with cutlery and a range of condments in full sized bottles (not a sachet in sight!). Food arrived prompty and I started tucking into my meal.. I love spucy food and it's not often I say that something is too soicy but this piri piri sauce was HOT! The chicken was delicious but the highlight was the rice. I wasn't expecting to like it much (not a massive fan of lemon in savoury foods) but the balance was just right. The salad was okay, but not that exciting and I didn't like the salad dressing much. If I'm in the area I'd definitely head back but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Having visited the restaurant for years, celebrating all manner of things with my family, I can honestly say I consider it to be Paisley's best restaurant. The staff are attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and they make each experience - always a culinary delight - truly excellent. American and Italian influences are married beautifully; the latter being (thankfully) far more prominent leaving the former as an interesting accent. The resultant atmosphere is inviting, warm, relaxed and a pleasure to dine in. The lighting in the back is perfect and really makes Cardosi's a great place for a special occasion whilst the booths are somewhat secluded and provide for an intimate retreat in which to enjoy an afternoon or evening with good company. The menu has developed over the years but some signature dishes remain popular with my family; the simple Penne Alfredo is pasta perfection and the goats' cheese bruschetta (one of the four or so bruschettas offered) is divine. Presentation is thoughtful and consistent no matter which service you're enjoying; this is a testament to the kitchen staff as dinner can be exceptionally busy. Value is excellent, especially at lunchtime when two courses can be had for £9.50. Evening and pre-theatre are very well priced and do not overly restrict the diner. The à la carte options can be a little pricey but I have yet to be anything less than impressed by the choices therefrom. Recently there have been a couple of duck dishes on both the evening and à la carte menus which have been superbly executed. The Coppa Scozia, which raises the humble vanilla ice cream to dizzying gastronomic heights with the addition of crumbled Scottish tablet and hot caramel sauce, stands out from the dessert menu (but is equally matched by the rich and decadent cheesecake). Heralded by many as Paisley's go-to place for any special occasion, Cardosi's is unrivalled in the town and can hold its own against many of the reputable Glasgow restaurants. Whether you go for lunch or dinner, with a crowd or your significant other, you can be sure you'll be enjoying the very best that Paisley has to offer in quality dining.
