The 30 Best Bistro in Glasgow

“Best food around! Hot honey chicken loaded fries was to die for and the cowboy burger was the best I ever had! Definitely recommend the place!”

“Had yummy haloumi burger with maple syrup instead of hot honey sauce. Was delicious. Freya, the shiba inu, got a sausage while we waited. Definitely be a return visit on the cards.”

“Amazing food very friendly stuff and very nice atmosphere … home made polish food”

“Great little cafe , staff are friendly and helpful. Food was very good.”

“I usually order their takeaway from the Italian menu (Milanese special + garlic bread is always amazing), but I recently dined in and tried the Polish food. I brought my Polish friend who has very high standards, and they were genuinely impressed! The portions are huge, the prices are great, and if you’re eating in you can get a jug of kompot, a delicious homemade fruit drink. I’ll definitely be back soon with more friends. Do yourself a favour and try the Polish dishes if ypu haven't already, but you won’t be disappointed either way!”

“The Bistro has hands down the best food and cocktails in Ayr. They also have the best staff- special mention of Caitlyn. She does a great Picante Margarita.”

“I visited the restaurant on Saturday afternoon with my family, and as the only vegan in the group, my options were initially very limited. However, when I mentioned this to our server, Courtney, she went above and beyond. She spoke with the chef and came back with several options they could prepare specially for me, which I thought was incredibly kind. The chef made a delicious arrabbiata along with garlic bread made with olive oil instead of butter - simple but delicious. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was brilliant. As a vegan, I don’t always expect restaurants to accommodate me, so I was delighted by how thoughtful they were in offering alternatives. I would highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and the wonderful service.”

“We had a family meal there on a dank Thursday night but the welcome from Imogen and Lucy brightened up the evening. They looked after us very well and are a credit to Michaelangelo's. Our chef popped out from the kitchen and introduced herself and checked that our food was to our liking. We'll definitely be back.”

“We had a table booked for 9 people for Christmas lunch. I arrived 15 mins early and the table was ready. Our server was polite and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The food was good. Some people in the group had the turkey dinner which was fantastic. A generous plateful of food - thick cut turkey with all the trimmings. I had the salmon which although a small portion was just enough for me. The bistro was very clean and the service was great. Will definitely be going back.”

“I have been here 3-4 times and it’s quickly become our favorite local brunch spot, a designation I take seriously! Try the steak frites and classic breakfast. The weekday and weekend menus are both well worth a try. It’s kid friendly too with plenty of parking and a duck pond outside.”

“This place is amazing. The sandwiches are jaw crackers - stuffed full with fillings which are delicious. Attention to detail about the quality of everything is clearly on the agenda here at Alessio's. Flavours are gutsy and pack a punch. Superb value. Service excellent. Amazing place if you like punchy flavours, your sandwiches packed full to bursting and quality of ingredients top notch. I'd come back to Kirkintilloch simply to visit here. Bravo.”

“Beautiful food with unique flavour combinations and a great friendly service and atmosphere! We had the pulled duck toastie (delicious), vegan stack (delicious), and the black pudding & duck burger (very delicious)...couldn't get pictures before half of it was gone! A gem in the east end - will definitely be back x”

“The food in this place is amazing and the specials menus are so different - well done to the chefs and staff - I always leave with a clean plate!”

“Ordered a buffet for 60+ people in work, the food was top class and the service from everyone in the shop couldn't have been better! We'll definitely be ordering from them again!”

“Had a birthday lunch today in the bar area. We took our wee dog with us and he was given his bowl of water immediately. The wine was lovely, service was 1st class and the club sandwich was the best sandwich I have ever eaten. Will definitely be coming back.”

“The smell of the log fire caught my attention, and we followed it. The staff are awesome! My dog was made welcome and was brought a fresh bowl of water. The food was delicious! The coffee was really creamy. I ordered three for myself, two while eating and one for the road. I was visiting the area from Livingston, but I'll definitely come visit again, and if I know anyone who's going to Sterling I will highly recommend this place. The music volume was just right, and the ambiance was cosy. Thank you for a very pleasant experience. My son and his partner also thoroughly enjoyed their order from the menu, which has an impressive varied selection, all of which sounds tasty! 10/10”

“Just had an absolute delightful Lunch once more. Amazing burgers and the chips stew gravy are just top notch. Collette and the staff are lovely and friendly. Just a great wee addition to area. Well done guys.”

“Lovely little place. The food is fresh made to order so it takes longer to come out but that is no problem as the food is fantastic. Had a gluten free macaroni cheese and a meat feast pizza which were both great. Great service too.”

“Can't rant enough about how great the business owners were. I was here for a group meeting and the owners made us feel very welcome. Aspie Review: The atmosphere is a bit loud closer to the coffee machine so I recommend sitting closer to the door. The bathroom is accessible, and clean. Menu was easy to read and all signs were clearly visible.”

“Muircot Farm Shop is well worth a visit. The food is freshly cooked using mostly locally sourced ingredients. The afternoon tea is a favourite of ours, with generously filled sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and a selection of mini cakes. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The setting is marvellous with lovely views of the Ochil Hills.”

“My wife and I had a great lunch on Friday last. The food was great and served well with a smile. Good prices and spotless.”

“It was not my first visit, and it won't be my last. Good choice of food options, and they cater well to a gluten-free diet. Our food was delicious, and the portions were generous and they have a nice selection of wines and spirits. I would highly recommend you give this venue a try. Staff are friendly, helpful, and professional.”

“Tasty freshly made food to eat in and take away. Different fillings on Bagels, Wraps, Paninis etc and home made tarts, soups and sandwiches. Great choice and friendly staff.”

“I personally love the place. Good atmosphere and people who go there are pleasant. Food quality is pretty good, especially for Glasgow standards. Only downside for me is a few members of the staff who I don’t find fitting. But overall I am satisfied with my visits all the time. Do not recommend beef tartare, it’s lacking in flavor and serving. Love vote for quick lunch.”

“Very nice food for the price. We had the lasagna and the creamy enchiladas. The enchiladas had a nice kick”

“Loved our brunch as we explored Irvine harbour area! Thank you.”

“Food was amazing, as a first timer in any new place I’m always wary about trying new food but this was amazing. Portions were huge. I was stuffed I couldn’t finish it all. Service with a smile and friendly banter too boot. Defo will be back again very soon.”

“Great restaurant in a great hotel, Surprised by food quality of the bar menu: ibeye was close to perfection. Impressive list of whiskies by the glass. Private rooms for dinner or tasting available.”

“We only stopped in for a drink so limited comments on the food experience. However, we were very welcomed by the bar staff. We were given a bar snack to accompany our drinks. It is a well placed assumption the care and attention would be reflected when having a meal.”

“If you go on a weekend drive to Milton on Campsie, this is the place where you can relax and have nice all day breakfast. Fantastic staff, beautiful location and freshly made food. What else do you need?”
