If you like different cuisines then Glasgow is a pretty good place to find yourself. Recently voted the Italian capital of Britain, Glasgow boasts more Italian restaurants per square mile than any other city in the UK.

We do have a lot of Italian restaurants, most are very good, but we are not just limited to Italian cuisine, we have a rich diversity of eating establishments in Glasgow.

Whether you want sushi or a hot curry Glasgow can provide for you.

We have compiled an ever-growing list of reviews of places we have eaten, and have given our thoughts on them. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with your thoughts or experiences or log into our forum and leave them for others to read.


Ichiban Noodle Café

Specialising in Sushi, and noodle dishes, Ichiban has two places to choose from to eat. You can dine in the city centre in their place on Queen Street, or chose the slightly bigger place on Dumbarton Road, closer to the ever-desirable West End. Quiet, clean and friendly Ichiban offers a wonderful experience and a real treat to your taste buds. Whether you like Sushi, Bento Boxes or even Soup ichiban is a definite must! Ichiban is not the kind of place that you expect to wait, at the same time it’s not the kind of place you can have a 3 hour meal. Food is served quickly and people leave quite quickly after they have eaten as is the style of this kind of food/ noodle bar. You are not pressured into leaving however and the staff are very friendly.


Cafe Andaluz

Traditional Spanish Tapas restaurant just off Byers Road in the West End, Café Andaluz is defiantly worth a visit. Recommend you book first as its VERY busy!! There are loads of dishes on this menu, and from time to time it does change with the old favourites remaining. There will be something in there to tempt most. From fresh calamari to lamb and an extensive vegetarian section you will not be disappointed. All you must do is try to pronounce the dishes! Thankfully the waiting staff are very patient.

Recently opened a city centre restaurant too on St Vincent Street.


Thai Siam

Out of the centre the Thai Siam on Argyll Street offer authentic Thai food and a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. From salads, to curry’s you can have a very enjoyable meal here, and should you find yourself with a bit of a cold can I recommend one of the soups, your stuffy nose won’t last long!


Waxy O’Connor’s

On West George Street next to The Carlton George Hotel, Waxy O’Connor’s covers 3 levels with a maze of staircases etc, providing 6 unique bars. Private functions can be catered for or you can simply go in and have a nice meal in a relaxed bar atmosphere. Typical yet exceptionally well made bar food, ranging from Bruschetta to Oysters with an excellent wine menu a trip to Waxy’s will be well worth it.


Dahkin & Dhabba

Sister restaurants in the Candleriggs part of Glasgow, these 2 Indian Restaurants offer authentic Indian Cuisine with different menus. Dahkin covers cuisine from the South of India, while Dhabba offers food from the North of the country. We recommend you reserve a table at either of these very busy restaurants to avoid disappointment. You can have a spicy and full of flavour curry here or if your taste buds don’t adapt to the hot and spicy there is plenty on the menu to tempt you.


Pulcinella

On Hope Street Pulcinella is one of the city’s finest Italian restaurants on offer. You can sit in the restaurant and soak up the atmosphere without being hustled to order or leave. You can sample authentic Italian food and enjoy every minute of it.

 

Walkabout

Located on Renfield Street near to the Cineworld Cinema and Buchanan Street Bus Station, Walkabout serves pub meals with a difference. Bearing in mind it is a pub with an Australian theme, we are sure you wont need to be told whats on the menu.. but we will anyway. Yes, Kangaroo and Crocodile feature heavily amongst other lesser-known Australian delicacies. The traditional "Burger and Pint" is significantly featured at this establishment along with probably about 100 televisions to cover the huge floor. One interesting point about this venue is that they have taken the television theme to a whole new level by putting them in the "dunnies" too! The bar at Walkabout serves many exotic Aussie and Kiwi beers. Student Discount Available.
