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.

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.

Okay so when P!nk is in town the place will be packed-fair warning!…read more I had the Chicken Shawarma. The naan is more like flatbread but it was so delicious. The Mac & Cheese side is big enough for a meal, we got the big one and didn't even make it halfway through. The cheese is rich and creamy with a lovely carmelized cheese & onion topping. It comes with what the Scots minimally refer to as a garlic bun. This manna from heaven is a light doughy bread with a thin layer of cheese, butter, and garlic in the middle and then topped with butter and green herbs (garlic tops maybe?). Despite the crowds and the noise we had a lovely time. The barmaids are super friendly and efficient and the barmen are quick-witted and sharp. Do yersel' a favor and git right in tae the place!

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.

Glasgow, when will you learn? If a building like St Andrews in the Square existed anywhere else in…read moreEurope, it would feature on postcards, be highlighted on guided tours and sign-posted from across the city. Tourists would flock and photograph it from every angle, creating albums on Facebook entitled "Me at St Andrews in the Square" to a sea of thumbs ups from friends who like it. Instead, this lovingly-restored 18th century church is inconspicuously located in among modern east end flats and virtually impossible to stumble across unless you are specifically looking for it. And what a pity, because when it's lit at night, it provides one of the most spectacular photo opportunities in the city. Those who do know this building, know it's one of the greatest classical churches in Europe with a truly sumptuous interior. Now used as a performing arts centre, St Andrews in the Square can also be hired as a spectacular setting for ceilidhs, concerts, weddings and receptions. Just go. I promise you will not be disappointed.

A small eatery, the decor is very attractive and the good use of mirrors makes one feel it is larger! The tables (around 10 I think) are placed at a very comfortable distance from each other, allowing for privacy and intimacy whilst dining! It is run by a man and there are only waiters serving it appears. We went for high tea arriving at 5pm. The menu was excellent with plenty of choice! All four of us opted for the steak pie and we were truly in for a treat! Helpings were plentiful without being O.T.T. The food and the plates were piping hot! The meat was beautifully tender; the flavour of the the beef and gravy was gorgeous and topped with oodles of delicious, buttery puff pastry. This excellent pie was served with carrots, garden peas, boiled and roast potatoes (all very tasty and expertly cooked). The staff were very professional and asked if we would care for some tea, coffee, scones and cakes after our meal. We did so and thoroughly enjoyed home baked current scones with butter and our choice of cakes from a large tray brought to our table! The ladies' was very hygenic and feminine to fault! We chose to drink iced water with our meal. For all of this it cost a total of £38 only! Harrington's deserves to go big but, perhaps, the owner prefers to keep it small and homely and it would be spoiled otherwise! Tourists in Glasgow or Edinburgh would love this restaurant, I'm sure as would local people! Apologies that I could not find the location on the Qype Map but the telephone number is provided if you're interested! It's very easy to get to by car and is off the M8 motorway between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Just take the Harthill cut off (c. 20mins drive from city centres). A huge thumbs up to Harrington's Restaurant!

The menus are always fantastic, and they like to keep it all seasonal so the produce is as fresh and local as possible. There is a good variety of dishes for the munching, but there is usually only one vegetarian option available as a main course so if you have a veggie amongst your number, make sure to check the menu before you drag them in. I had the pleasure of attending a Christmas Lunch with my colleagues at this fine establishment. Everything was absolutely delicious. What I particularly like is that they have veg in bowls for passing around the group, rather than just dish them out regardless of people's preferences. You can have as much or as little as possible. Oh, and all their desserts are amazing, and they have different specials every week. The cheesecake is particularly good (and I shouldn't have it because of my lovely allergies), and they make their own tablet to go with the coffee! The waiting staff are ever attentive, filling your glass with the table wine whenever they spot an empty glass. They're always smiley and up for a chat as well! It's refreshing to see staff that seem to be enjoying the company of the customers. It certainly helps to foster a homely vibe to this charming wee place. Don't be shy, give it a try! It won't stay off your radar for long. ^^

Now, I've been here once before & was taken back on how random the location of the place is!…read more Tucked away behind the Church/Cathedral near Anderston and Finnieston, on the old Argyle Street, beneath The Two Fat Ladies @ The Buttery. Was my friends birthday meal here & 8 of us neatly packed in around one table on a busy Friday evening. Set menu at £16 for two courses and £18 for three (from memory!) They also have specials on, which tonight was a Pork Loin with mustard mash and a rosemary and thyme jus. (Can tell Fiona went for this!) Service was as I recalled & excellent the whole night. We pretty much spent 3 hours in there & the last table out... At no time did we feel anything was an issue for the staff. I had the chilli and tortilla chips for starters & pleasantly surprised at the chips being made in house. Absolutely lifted the dish for me to another level. Cottage Pie for mains & it was roasting! Could have done with room to move the meat around underneath, as some bits were a little oily, but it just needed mixed. Absolutely delicious delicate flavours mind. My only criticism of the meal experience, was the house wine they supply. Simply put at £10/12 a bottle - frankly rotten stuff. We ended up ordering from the buttery wine list to £41 for a bottle of pinot noir, to get something you could drink without tasting the chemicals! At £10/12, you can do a lot better on the wine front - no excuse there I'm afraid. Whole meal itself was a delight & more a dining experience with the quirks of old style plates/cutlery like in the pig and the butterfly restaurants.
