Ka Pao – Glasgow

Man oh man - it's 517 days since I last posted a blog on here. I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me; in truth, I wasn't sure you hadn't! However, I've been persuaded back onto the laptop and I've got all my fingers crossed that hospitality is back on the up, . …

Steak, Cattle and Roll – Glasgow

I'll be honest - I've never really considered eating in Steak, Cattle and Roll before. I've been aware of the burger restaurants for a while, but never heard much in the way of reviews (good or bad) and so never found myself desperately trying to organise a visit. However, when mum and I found ourselves …

Sugo Pasta – Glasgow

You knew it was coming, didn't you? Given my love of Paesano, it was only a matter of time before I paid a visit to their new sister restaurant, Sugo. Specialising in pasta rather than pizza, Sugo follows the same model as Paesano, offering nine pasta dishes, a handful of sides and specials plus some …

Five March – Glasgow

No, you're not going mad - I have indeed already reviewed Elderslie Street restaurant Five March. However, as my most recent visit saw me sampling from the full à la carte menu for the first time, I thought it deserved a full blog of its own. Getting straight to the menu, there wasn't much that …

Mezcal – Glasgow

I've been saying for years that the one thing Glasgow's restaurant scene really lacks is a great Mexican. There are Italian restaurants aplenty, burger joints as far as the eye can see, and some of the best pizza places you could ever wish for, but great Mexican food seems to have eluded the city. A …

The Left Bank – Glasgow

Rosie was probably quite right to be shocked when she heard I’d never been to The Left Bank. I’m in my fifth year of studying at the University of Glasgow, and for three and half years worked not far away on Byres Road, but for all that I’d walked past the Gibson Street restaurant a …

Chaophraya – Glasgow

Both my parents and myself all really like Thai food - the spices, the rich, creamy sauces, the cooking methods, I love it all! It’s a tad surprising, therefore, that despite its looming presence on Glasgow’s main shopping street, we only visited Chaophraya for the first time a few weeks ago! Greeted at the front …

The Coach House – Bridge of Weir

Like me, you’ll possibly have heard of Scott’s of Troon, and maybe even been vaguely aware that their parent company (Buzzworks Holdings) owns a number of restaurants in Ayrshire. I’ve never visited any of them in the past due to their location - most of them are a solid hour drive from home. However, one …

La Lanterna (Menabrea Event) – Glasgow

I’ve always heard good things about La Lanterna - they were established in 1970 and I’ve never really heard a bad word said against them, so they must be doing something right! So, when I was kindly invited to a dinner at the West End branch, I didn’t hesitate to say yes! The meal was …

Meat:Stack at Sweet Recreation (Press Event) – Glasgow

I'd heard of Meat:Stack from their places in Edinburgh and Newcastle, so when I discovered they were going to be popping up in new bar Sweet Recreation I was excited to try them out. I was even more excited, therefore, when they invited me down to a little press launch event last week. So, after …
