The Left Bank ★ 4.1

££ InternationalWest End

The Left Bank, on Gibson Street since 2006, relaunched in May 2026 as a vinyl listening bar with a full kitchen serving brunch, dinner and food to midnight.

OrderBrunch before 16:00, or the evening menu after it.

TipThe kitchen serves until midnight every night, so it works for a late dinner after a gig in the West End.

Ox and Finch ★ 4.5

£££ Modern EuropeanFinnieston

Ox and Finch put Finnieston on Glasgow's food map, a buzzy Sauchiehall Street room of ever-changing small plates built for sharing across the table.

OrderOrder five or six plates between two; the pressed lamb shoulder is the long-running favourite.

TipWalk-in seats at the open kitchen counter turn over faster than the booked tables on a busy night.

Crabshakk ★ 4.6

£££ SeafoodFinnieston

Crabshakk is the tiny Finnieston seafood bar that sparked Glasgow's Argyle Street boom, a marble counter of langoustine, oysters and fried haddock.

OrderA plate of langoustine with garlic butter and a glass of the house white.

TipThe upstairs mezzanine and the counter both take walk-ins, so try your luck if the booking diary looks full.

Gloriosa ★ 4.5

£££ MediterraneanFinnieston

Gloriosa is Rosie Healey's bright Argyle Street room in Glasgow, cooking wood-fired, vegetable-led Mediterranean plates and one of the city's best wine lists.

OrderWhatever is coming off the wood fire, plus a glass from the low-intervention wine list.

TipHealey founded the much-missed Alchemilla, and this is where her cooking now lives; book the counter for the fire view.

Mother India ★ 4.4

££ IndianWest End

Mother India has served home-style Indian cooking in Glasgow's West End since 1990, a warren of small rooms famous for its sharing plates and slow-cooked dal.

OrderBuild a table of small dishes to share; the aubergine and the karahi lamb are long-time regulars' picks.

TipThe tapas-style spin-off, Mother India's Cafe on Argyle Street, is the cheaper way to eat the same kitchen's cooking.

Stravaigin ★ 4.4

£££ Modern ScottishWest End

Stravaigin has cooked 'think global, eat local' in Glasgow's West End since 1994, a Gibson Street basement pairing homemade haggis with pan-Asian plates.

OrderThe homemade haggis, neeps and tatties, on the menu since the restaurant opened.

TipThe ground-floor cafe-bar takes walk-ins and shares the kitchen; the basement restaurant is the sit-down booking.
