An excellent spot to chill and dine in Dennistoun. I had a breakfast roll and latte. All very good,…read moreand the roll and fillings were fresh and yum. The staff was friendly and made me feel welcome, as did eventually other diners. I did some computer work while I was there, and spent probably 2.5 hours just ahead of lunch. I did order a second latte to "pay" for the table even though they weren't heaving busy. Overall just a solid spot.

When I moved to Dennistoun last summer, the general response was a mewling from friends about the…read moreperils of leaving the West End and doomy predictions about not being able to get a decent coffee and breakfast. It was like I was moving back to the 1970s, or something. Tibo and Coias were the two places I was assured I had to try when I moved, so why it has taken me over 8 months to go to Tibo, I don't know. We dropped in yesterday to help combat a hangover, and the menu left me in no doubt how best to tackle it: Full Scottish Breakfast and lots of coffee! Now, I was made aware that the prices have recently gone up because we were handed two different menus, presumably one old and one new one. However, don't let this deter you. The portions more than make up for the price and the quality of the ingredients is high. The service was a little disjointed (meals turned up without sausages and haggis which then showed a few mins later), but the gent was charming enough to be forgiven. They also have a sign stating that they serve their coffee at 60 degrees, and when you taste their cappuccino you can see why. This is the best coffee I have had in Dennistoun. The decor is pleasant, though there is some slightly questionable art (sorry to whoever the artist is) and the staff were very friendly. Definitely worth popping in if you are in the neighbourhood.

We had a lovely experience at Number 16!…read more Service was friendly, and the location is small but very cozy, and very clean. Now let's talk about the food! We ordered the crispy pork cheek, which was good, but our least favorite of everything we had that night. The venison tartar: absolutely AMAZING. Seared scallops that were absolutely perfect. Venison haunch: delicate, delicious, and would absolutely order again in a heartbeat. Chestnut gnocchi: amazing. Legitimately probably one of the most delicious gnocchi dishes I've ever had. Even with a couple of drinks, the cost was very affordable. If we ever find ourselves in Glasgow again, I would definitely eat here again and again and again!

We hadn't eaten here for some years, having had a poor experience on our previous visit. However, I…read moream glad to say that the quality has improved immensely, and this is now firmly on my list of favourite local restaurants. It's a bit cramped for space and nearly always busy, so be prepared for a noisy, boisterous environment. But the menu, although small, has interesting selections and caters moderately well for veggie and vegan options. You can tell you're in for an interesting mean when you see that one of the starters is scallops with... popcorn? Gets my vote!

Owned by brothers Chris and Paul Charalambous, the Cultar Restaurant Group behind a quartet of…read moreGlasgow eateries, Cail Bruich is considered by many to be Glasgow's best restaurant and is currently just one of two awarded a Star by Michelin. Now led by Chef Lorna McNee, a veteran of Restaurant Andrew Fairlie, it is inside a charming but contemporary space on the city's West Side that guests may visit at Lunch or Dinner for fresh yet balanced fare rooted in classic French technique. Priced at just £100 during lunch, five proper courses flanked by extras, those who book early are encouraged to request a seat on the kitchen's verge where staff can be watched quietly working on each and every plate from start to finish. Offering well-priced Wines by the glass, Chilean Gewurztraminer nicely suited to the whole Summer menu, Canapes come first in the form of a piping hot Gougere and Pea Tart prior to oven-fresh Bread alongside herbaceous Butter. In tune with the Seasons, Scallop Tartare bathing in Melon with Asian Citrus as bright as it was beautiful, local Tomatoes also looked beautiful amidst picked Crab, though the flavors became a bit lost in assertive "Bloody Mary" Sauce. Moving to Turbot, slow-cooked but hidden by Vermouth Sauce and sliced Clams alongside a ribbon of Squash, Guinea Fowl arrives similarly excessive with a small slice of the Breast amidst various Vegetables and Mushrooms both whole and pureed. Reining it in at Dessert, a Napoleon of Strawberries, Crème Fraîche and Pistachio kissed by Basil perfectly balanced but varied bite-to-bite, Mignardises include a Madeline Proust might write about plus a Canele on par with those in Bordeaux.

The dinner at Cail Bruich that we enjoyed this evening was one of the two best of our 3 weeks in…read moreScotland. The other was with a chef on Skye who is a friend of Dave, the head chef here. Each and every course was superb. From the snacks to the dessert. We also decided to order the optional cheese offering they was unique. I've never tasted anything quite like this dish. The crab dish was so colorful - I'm attaching a picture of it along with the menu. I really appreciated that they didn't show us the menu until the end and so everything was a surprise. The service was impeccable. We were lucky enough to be seated at the chef's table and we observed all of the food being prepared. Most dishes required that tweezers be used to put the plate together by the chef. There's a very nice selection of whiskey, the woman who assisted us was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. This is an expensive indulgence, but an absolutely fantastic dining.experience.

This is located in a small village called Glassford and is a pub and restaurant. The pub is popular…read morewith the locals as it is the only one in the village. The restaurant is nice we went in and were given a nice table it was relatively quiet when we were there which was good as some of the tables are quite close together. The food is really good the prices are mid range not cheap but you do get quite a lot for your money. The staff are friendly and its quite a warm atmosphere. It is best to book especially for a Sunday as it is always busy and shuts about 4.30pm on a Sunday. A nice place for a special treat. They have a very small car park but most people park on the main roads round about.

You can find The Sister restaurant on Kelvingrove Street up the steepest stairs in Glasgow - thank…read moregoodness I wore reasonably low heels :-) As the dining room was absolutely packed I never took any pictures, I don't really like to get in people's face too much with my camera. The vibe tho is grown up, serene and subdued in the best ways, the cream walls were dotted with beautiful abstract art in shades of grey, there was a large fireplace feature, soothing just audible music, fresh red roses on the table (it was valentines!) linen table cloths. It was beautiful and even though it was jumping it felt like a calm and soothing environment. The staff were exactly what you would expect from a restaurant like the Sister - delightful. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast...probably faster than it normally would be due to the date, having said that I never once felt rushed or harassed - the staff were just sharp and on the ball with clearing plates. The menu at the sisters is like a love letter to Scotland, it was loaded with haggis, black pudding, fish, venison, beef cheeks, clootie dumpling and puff candy. It was like head chef Jackie O'Donnell had stepped into my childhood and brought all those foods into the 21st century. I could very easily have chosen any dish on offer from each course, it's an utterly lush menu. In the end I decided to try the haggis, neeps and tatties to start, I never took pictures of the menu so I forget the exact description of the dish. My first thought upon seeing my dish was wow! There was a puddle of glossy gravy, in the middle was a large haggis cake topped with neeps and a fritter....yes a freakin FRITTER!! I was beside myself as I am sure by now you know how I feel about fritters. The food was utterly gorgeous and without fault, the haggis was tasty and slightly spicy, the neeps were light and creamy, and the fritter was crisp and perfect. Gorgeous! For my main I finally decided on the Chicken breast with Stornoway black pudding, creamed leeks & a red wine jus with a side of Rooster tatties & market vegetables to share. Again visually it was so beautiful to look at. Taste wise it was amazing, the chicken was moist and tender, the creamed leeks still had bite and were seasoned to perfection, the big wedge of black pudding was soft and crumbly, the mash was silky and the red wine jus was lush and decedent. The side was also a triumph - the roasted potatoes were crispy golden nuggets of joy and the veg was incredibly tasty, I even liked the broccoli (I hate broccoli) but I loved however they cooked it. After all that food dessert was touch and go for a while, but there was no way I could leave without trying the Puff candy meringue with honeycomb, ice cream & hot butterscotch sauce. Now lets not kid ourselves this dish it basically a plate of sugar in various forms.....but boy what a plate of sugar it was. The puff candy meringue was light and delicate, the honeycomb was crunchy and sweet and the butterscotch sauce was thick and creamy. This dessert is as good as desserts get. It was a stunning gift from the sugar gods! All in all a pretty exceptional meal and up there with the best I have eaten in Glasgow without question. This is a must try restaurant for me and I will definitely visit again very soon.

Went to The Sisters on Monday 30 of April for my grans birthday with my mum and sister in law. I…read morebooked a fab deal on 5pm which was 3 courses for £12. It had a great variation of choice and I couldn't wait to go. I had booked lunch for 12:30 and found it a bit hard to find to be honest and the time I put enough money (fingers crossed) in the on street meter we were a tad late. We were sat next to a lovely cosy fire and ordered out starters straight away, 3 soups if the day which was a vegetable broth and one haggis, which was for me. When the soup came my gran gingerly told me it was cold and my mum and Megan agreed. Unfortunately they had to send it back whilst I tucked into my haggis which was lovely, so full of flavour and the gravy that was with it was lovely. For the main course myself, mum and Megan opted for the rosemary chicken with Stornaway back pudding and mash. My gran went for pork shoulder with apples and mash. Presentation was lovely and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their mains. When the waiter mentioned sweet, none of us hesitated and it was an OF COURSE response due to all the incredible things I've heard about the honey comb meringue and my god they weren't wrong. 4 bowls arrived at our table in a sea of hot butter scotch sauce, sprinkles of honey comb with the meringue sitting proud in the middle with honey comb ice cream on top and to finish more honey comb on that. WOW. The chef even wrote happy birthday on her plate and she was over the moon about that. Well with the money and we all felt satisfied without feeling we had over ate. Lovely place for lunch but next time I will be back to try their A La Carte.

I pass by Home most weeks, and each time say to the Mr that we should pop in for a drink…read more Finally, we did. After wandering around the Merchant City, Home looked like the busiest place to hang for a while (it was mid week before payday - always quiet round here then!). It has a pretty decent cocktail menu with lots of weeknight deals - also deals on food, which smelled pretty awesome. Beerwise, not the best selection but you can get Estrella and a couple of others on tap - and it's ultra cheap! Less than £3 a pint. There's a pretty awesome balcony area too - the tables here get booked out so it'll be luvk to get on if you just drop in. There was actually a nice, relaxed atmosphere - not exactly homely, but friendly. We'll definitely be back.

You'll like Home…read more I'm not going to delve into the old cliché's; 'home is where the heart is' or 'there's no place like home'. Nah, I'm too sophisticated for that. Firstly, I think Home is both a clever and silly name for a bar. It's clever because you can say to your partner, 'I'm going Home' and you're all 'Muwahahah...sucker'. But when you're calling a taxi at the end of the night and you say, 'I'm at Home. I am going home' it starts getting confusing. Also, silly because I walk past Home and I think it's an interiors shop. Inside though, it's a beautiful place. It's got lovely mezzanine areas, and windy staircases. Tables and chairs litter the downstairs area, but separated by beautiful velvet covered room separators, giving you the confident and more intimate feeling that you normally wouldn't get from an open-plan area. Red leather sofas and high backed lounge chairs are dotted around, giving comfort where comfort is due. Too often in places that try to be chic, you'll find awesome looking furniture that isn't comfortable AT ALL. I'm glad that Home hasn't sacrificed comfort and functionality for interior design. The prices were much higher than I expected: £2.75 for a Tennents; £4 (FOUR POUND!) for a Hoegaarden (but then again Hoegaarden is a really nice beer). However, Home does have other traits that make up for that, such as 2 for £5 meal deals all day long. And though I didn't try their food, other than a communal plate of chips shared within our party, I was told by a friend, that the food is top notch. The place did have such a party atmosphere that I can understand why it is so popular among the pre-club crowd. On a Friday night, a first class DJ is spinning some very diplomatic beats; nothing too genre specific. I hope you go to Home. It has a lot going for it, and I fin it hard to believe a person wouldn't be able to enjoy themselves here.

It is certainly good to be in a place like Artisan which is excellent in all aspects, just in an undesieable place which might put outsiders take a trip.
