Fantastically great dishes, very tasty and well prepared with excellent local ingredients in ample quantities. Will definitely be coming back when in Glasgow.

Stained-glass shoals of fish swim across the windows while you sit at sculpturesque tables. The food here often matches the art , such as the Rannoch Moor smoked venison with rowanberry jelly . Read more

Book a Tim Stead-designed, medieval-looking table in advance for well-prepared Scottish and Continental food. There’s an expansion, specialising in fish , next door.

This cafe was once part of the old cheese market . It’s been pulling in the punters for years and packs an interesting clientele: die-hard Gandolfers, the upwardly mobile and tourists .

Was good but not great! I also think £23 for two breakfasts and 2 teas is quite a lot.
