Number 16 is a tiny, long-running bistro at the foot of Byres Road in Glasgow's West End, cooking tight modern British menus across a two-storey room.
OrderThe set lunch is the value play; the seasonal mains change with the market.
TipThere are only a dozen or so tables over two floors, so book ahead rather than chancing a walk-in table.
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.
