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.

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.

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.

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.

As with any such…read morerestaurant, they have to make sure there's a lot to shout about so that you'll get your friends to come along and try it. Shandon Belles does not disappoint! 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. ^^

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.

We were a group of three on a Saturday night (We're did have a reservation though), and were met promptly at the door and immediately asked about dietary requirements almost before we sat down. This attentive service remained throughout the meal, even though they only had two staff on duty. Pretty soon I was trotting into a deliciously creamy vegan soup (coconut cream, sweetcorn and cucumber, I think?), followed by sea bass with roast potatoes - they have her a pepperonata sauce as I'm non- dairy compliant, washed down with a huge bottle of Albariño wine. Then for dessert, a rhubarb meringue with raspberry sorbet (for me), and a glass of Pedro Ximinez to finish. Excellent food, exceptional service, and the bill was around £120 for the three of us, which I though was pretty reasonable. We'll be back soon!

Service was friendly and helpful and efficient and even though the menu was seemingly concise each of the dishes appears to be thoughtfully created and masterfully executed. I started with a Spanish rioja which was delicious. My starter was the scallops and the portion was generous and nicely seared with a middle eastern style presentation. My main was the lamb rump - which doesn't sound like a cut I'd gravitate to but it proved to be an ample portion and a nice serving. Once again with a middle eastern twist and every item on the plate made sense, was complimentary and nicely executed. I was too full for desert but those around me ordered and everything coming out of the kitchen looked equally delicious, generously portioned and all I saw were happy smiling faces and empty plates going back to the kitchen. Highly recommended! Bravo Fanny !!
