🙎🏼‍♂️ For those who brunch this rustic, hipster petite pantry will delight people with all tastes but especially the “Instagram Generation” with a collection of simple but well presented dishes that are Food Pic Gold! The usual suspects can be found here such as Avocados 🥑(the marmite of the modern age) and Latte Art. The vibe is hipster without coming across as contrived or pretentious as this is one of my many visits and yes I am back for my favourite Avocado dish. 😋 Eggs Benedict with Bacon on Muffins which you can add on ingredients for a supplement so I chose Avocado and Link Sausage. Perfect for a day when you have woken up a bit too late and you are sitting somewhere between Breakfast and Lunch this is exactly what is needed to fill me up to dinner time. The venue is presented beautifully with the rustic wooden tables and various plants creating a more earthy feel. Arriving at 12pm, extremely busy, I have been before and not been able to get a seat so it appears this venue is doing very well. It is a shame it’s just not a bit bigger as I am given a seat by the window and a little squashed next to two strangers but for the food you are getting here you really don’t mind. It attracts a friendly crowd and people eating alone tend to get paired up on some tables so you don’t feel you are intruding on anyone else’s private conversations. The price is very reasonable for the fresh tasting ingredients. So impressive is the way they slice the avocado, the gooey poached eggs, the bacon which is cooked exactly the way bacon should be made (crispy but not overly). If you love brunch this place is just perfect, the staff are all superstars and always so smiley and helpful. It really is no wonder the place is so popular. I just need to venture away from my favourite dish. Check out their Instagram to look at some of the other dishes they serve!

If you haven’t heard of this establishment in the last year or so let me explain. Gourmet dining at its finest. The owner and chef Nico is the brains and chooses a theme every 6 weeks. Past themes have included Willy Wonka, Childhood Favourites, Orient Express. For this visit and for my first personal experience they are cooking Catalan, close to my heart having lived in Barcelona for some time this whole sensory experience just took me back to sunshine, sand and SAN Gria. Each course was plated with a complimentary wine to the dish. An incredible touch which added to the taste of each dish. My 3 companions all had different dietary requirements 1. Gluten Free 2. Halal Meats Only and 3. Non Fish Lover and they managed an alternative for each guest 👍🏻 The service to a very high standard. Explaining the concept clearly for first timers and each dish made for a unique experience with friends. The food itself was just all about the taste and classic ingredients that complimented each other of the freshest, highest quality. If you phone to book a table it is very highly booked up for the next month or so and it’s not to hard to see why. This venue is a total one off as Nico has taken a risky concept and ran with it and by god it works! #sixbynico#mysterydiners#goldstar#glasgow#westend#finedining#restaurants#foodie#reviews#classic@sixbynico

Gaelic for “Merchant” this Scottish based restaurant Mahrsanta is in the heart of the Merchant City. Once “Pancho Villas” this space across from the Merchant Square is a case of “Adios” to Mexican and “Och Aye” to some brilliant choices of Traditional Scottish comfort food. Arriving to a pretty impressive floral display this venue is extremely inviting. Inside the decor is Scottish artwork and the music is amazing. Mostly Scottish artists like Deacon Blue, Simple Minds and Texas are playing which adds to the theme.

🙎🏼‍♂️ Starter for myself was a Haggis Scotch Egg which was with a mustard & rocket dressing. This was extremely well made, a great combination of flavour and one of the nicest Haggis dishes I have ever had. The main course was a Sunday Roast which we both choose. This was a lovely dish & a decent portion. For me, it’s all about the Yorkshire Pudding with this dish & I found it a little dry. The meat was good but would have preferred a little pinker. Our service was also typical of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 warm and inviting.

🙍🏻‍♀️ For my first course I had Haggis Bon Bons which were a delight. The meat was succulent and well seasoned. It was coated in a crunchy breadcrumb. Accompanied by a creamy whisky sauce. Adding to the flavour was the peppery taste of the rocket. It was a taste sensation. Feelings were mutual regarding the main course. It was everything you would expect from a Sunday Roast with all the trimmings. I would highly recommend the Honey Glazed Sausages on the side. Ordered a dessert which was a home made chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream. As a massive lover of chocolate desserts this fell short. The texture was rather dry and more of a sponge cake than a brownie. I voiced my opinion to the waiter and it was taken off the bill which I was pleased with.
To sum up we had a lovely experience here and the food was of a really good standard. Just short of perfection with the desserts and some tweaks to the Sunday Roasts.

Sundays don’t come much better than when the sun is shining and you are meeting friends for an early Sunday dinner, even better when your pooch can come along too 🐶

West Brewery on the Green provides a relaxing dog-friendly environment. Arriving at the restaurant the high ceiling and the spacious warehouse feel are obvious features on the inside. Outside is the beer garden space which is also ideal when it’s sunny. The menu had a German theme, offering items such as Schnitzel, Sausages, and Beer.

We both indulged in two courses – a starter and a main. 💁🏻‍♀️ – Starter was Asparagus wrapped in Ham with Poached Egg and Hollandaise Sauce. I thought this dish was tasty but could have been better seasoned. For my main I had Nurnberger – small Bavarian sausages served with spring onion mash, gravy, and sauerkraut. It was comfort food but nothing spectacular – I was expecting a big German sausage but this time I was sadly disappointed with 6 skinny willie winkies. It turns out size does matter 😉

🙋🏼‍♂️- Starter was Sweet Potato Bon Bons. I felt it was nice but had an average and not very interesting flavour. For my main, I asked the waitress to be “blown away” so she suggested one of the most popular dishes, German Schnitzel. In my opinion a Turkey escalope, with a sauce that was going to wow me. I was so disappointed as it consisted of what looked like frozen made chips as the side, and the sauce I had to taste a few times before I got used to it (a thick mushroom sauce). If you like Mushrooms then the sauce is nice but it wasn’t the wow dish I was looking for, very ordinary.

Service was friendly from the offset and the atmosphere is great as you can see lots of families out for Sunday dinner with their dogs. The interior and exterior are both to a high standard and has to be said this is also one of the only decent beer gardens in and around the centre of Glasgow. For us though..the food is sub-par. Some if not many items clearly from frozen and not worth the price. We will, however, be back for drinks in the Summer Beer Garden. @westonthegreen

Dining in this restaurant for the first time, I was rather impressed to say the least! Treated my friend to a steak meal for his birthday. A groupon voucher was purchased for two steak meals with a glass of prosecco each. Staff were attentive and chirpy! Lovely restaurant inside, cosy feel & rather luxurious.

The steak was cooked to perfection! We requested medium rare 👌The inside of the steak was tender and juicy and nice and charred on the outside! The triple cooked chips were chunky and delicious! The waiter recommended the pink peppercorn and cognac butter sauce, which did not disappoint 🤤 ordered onion rings on the side which were crispy and tasty! All washed down with a beautiful, bubbley prosseco 🥂

Overall, I really enjoyed my food and also the feel of this restaurant! The groupon voucher was extremely worth while to keep the cost down, as we all know, if you like your steak, it can be expensive. Definitely worth a visit 💁‍♀️😁 P.S. order a garlic mayo for your chips 😍🤤 #mysterydiners#glasgow#food#reviews#foodpics#restaurants@bovinebyresroad
