British, Modern Restaurants in Glasgow

1. Cail Bruich British, Modern restaurant in Glasgow 725 Great Western Rd - G12

“Top-notch in every way, and a league apart from their competitors” is the general verdict on this West End venture from brothers Paul and Chris Charalambous (“a slightly more formal setting than you’d get in, say, trendy Finnieston”). “Flavours are bright and clear, in classical combinations showing off the largely Scottish produce, and the dishes as a whole all work extremely well”. It’s “not much to look at from the outside”, though, while the lighting inside is a bit dim “for the intricacy and delicacy of the plating, as well as for reading the menu!”

2. The Gannet British, Modern restaurant in Glasgow 1155 Argyle St - G3

“High-end no-nonsense food with spot-on service” have earned chefs Peter McKenna and Ivan Stein a range of accolades for their stripped-down Finnieston five-year-old (including, slightly bizarrely, being listed by Conde Nast Traveller as one of the world’s top 10 restaurants). “It looks like it’s going to be trendy and hipstery” (from the exterior, a bit “like a cocktail bar”), “but this is Glasgow, and it’s actually a very pleasing spot a notch above a mere neighbourhood haunt: a sort of Sticky Walnut with its culinary sights set a little higher”. “High end” modern bistro dishes of Scottish-sourced ingredients are served in the “very modest surroundings” of a formerly derelict building.

3. Alchemilla British, Modern restaurant in Glasgow 1126 Argyle Street - G3

Limited but positive feedback (too few reports yet for a rating) on this Finnieston two-year-old: a good looking spot whose accomplished modern bistro cuisine has garnered some fantastic press reviews.
